January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

interesting if Quarry had met Foreman before he fought Frasier that second time.

actually I did a piece on a west coast boxing venue, not east coast. I read
Jim's article on Jerry and Foreman. He does a fine job and he seems like a
decent fellow. He and I have exchanged E mails on occasion.HOWARD: can
you please stop with the Jimmy Ellis is dead jokes! I know you mean no harm.
That you are just joking about Jimmy's ability in the second Frazier fight. But
realize Jimmy Ellis has suffered some damage from the ring and while I don't
know the extent of Jimmy's condition, at any time we may find out that Jimmy has
actually died.I know you are probably a fan of Jerry Quarry. Can you
imagine how Jerry's family would have felt when Jerry, before he died, and he
was suffering from damage from his years in the ring, and someone was making
jokes about Jerry being dead during the second Joe Frazier fight? I am sure
they would have been hurt by it.Now consider how Jimmy Ellis' family
would feel if they read what you have been writing.I have never met
Jimmy Ellis but from what I understand, he is a fine gentleman and I think he
deserves our respect as he gave his life's blood to the sport we all enjoy.
Jimmy was a brave warroir and he deserves to be treated as such.|

favourite word in his autobiography. That's what he kept calling people. Almost
every page. It puzzled me, too.KentYou desperately need a sense
of humour or some very good sex or both. Everyone here would realize that I was
joking, having some fun......except you.I earlier said that you are like
that Japanese soldier wandering around the jungles of Borneo not knowing that
the war ended 25 years earlier. I take that back.You are nothing like
him. Everyone told you that the war was over but you wouldn't listen. Everyone
else was having fun with the subject but not you. Serious as always.It's
like Ground Hog Day. I log in and surprise, surprise, there's Kent droning on
with supposed facts showing that Joe didn't duck anyone. Log in next time and
same thing. I have to ask this, Kent: are you feeling okay ?Because you
don't sound so good.Have some fun, laugh a little bit, get rid of all
this hangdog sullen stuff. Don't take this Frazier thing too seriously. Before
we got onto this subject you were a rational, reasonable, likeable guy. Now it's
like you're on a search for the Holy Grail. SteveI'll submit to
your wish. You are now officially Dead Parrot # 3. Please tell your comrade,
Dead Parrot # 2, that it's time for him to have some FUN.|
|3/22/05 01:22:43 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||same as before||||10|Howard, I know you
were just kidding but I hope you have the decency to stop as some people might
not think it is funny. You wouldn't tell the same type of joke about Jerry
Quarry on his own website, would you? Also, will you still be telling the same
joke about Ellis if he does end up dying soon? I would hope
not.Fighters getting injured from their time in the ring is no laughing
matter and it is the reason this website was created in the first place.|

C.|Louisville||howardc@louisville||||10|KentIt wasn't written in the
expectation or hope that someone would soon die and your inference as to that
does you no credit. You just don't like the fact that my posting highlighted as
satire the ludicrous arguments you tried to make regarding the guys Joe ducked
or chose to fight, and you are now trying to take focus away from your own
shortcomings.Listen up, Kent. When guys take money to prize fight they
