January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

leaning moderate---not a died in the wool conservative, but certainly closer to
conservative than liberal. Unlike some others, I don't find the right wing
scary and radical---I reserve that for the other end of the spectrum, people who
have to define "what 'is' is." People who let murderers out of prison in 7-14
years because "we have a responsibility to rehabilitate them and the death
penalty is cruel" but on the other hand, these same lefties do not have an issue
with starving an incapacitated woman to death even though her parents and
siblings want her to live. That scares me more than the right.Speaking of
rights, Jerry Quarry had a pretty good one! He'd be a top heavyweight today and
would go through most of the division like a buzzsaw. |

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|George Otto: since I sent off for
Microfilm of all of Jerry's bouts and to the town he fought them in I was
surprised of the discrepancies on his record, mostly just dates, and there are
at least ten that need corrected, here are the ten, 1-JUNE 3 1965 KO 4 John
Henry Jackson 2-June 24 1965 W6 Dave Centi 3-August 2 1965 KO 4 J.P. Spencer
(this bout in Las Vegas AND NOT Los Angeles) 4-SEPT 23 1965 KO 3 Ray Ellis 5-
OCTOBER 18 1965 KO 1 Milton Manley 6-OCTOBER 28 KO 6 Al "Tiger" Carter 7-
DECEMBER 23 1965 KO 3 Roy Crear 8-MAY 27 1966 Tony Alongi DRAW 10 9-NOVEMBER 28
1966 KO 5 Leslie Borden 10- NOVEMBER 22 1983 W 10 James Williams. these are all
the correct dates of those bouts, also AUGUST 9 1965 WAS a Decison over 8 rounds
in a Quarry rematch with John Henry Jackson and not a third round knockout, like
their first bout,So JQ OFFICIALLY WAS 53-9-4 32 KO'S. ALSO found out Oscar
Bonavena's bulging biceps were 16 1/2 opposed to Quarry's 17 1/2. Jerry had
bigger guns then both George Foreman and George Chuvalo, I have to admit they
did not look it,of course sometimes looks are deceiving!|

had an excellent right. He was also an excellent counter puncher. Had he been at
the top of his game today, there's no question he would have dominated the
division. For all of us who were fortunate enough to have seen Jerry and his
contemporaries in real time, it was a great era, very competitive, a great piece
of boxing history.|

with Bob B's assesment of Samuel Peter. He hits hard but is a little thick
around the middle and he might have a hard time catching someone who knows how
to get out of the way of his punches. Yes he does wing them like Foreman
did.He is one to watch though and he is still learning as he is only 24
years old.I also agree they need to step up the competition level. He
has fought some decent fighters but we won't know how good he is until he faces
the best. One thing is a lot of the top contenders might not want to fight him
as he is better than most if not all of the younger crop today.|
|5/24/05 10:26:45 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Joey, I agree with you too. My only
query regarding Jerry Quarry would be his size. He wasn't tall and I don't know
whether too much more bulk would have fitted his frame.Even so, his size
would probably not have stopped him dominating most of the heavies around today,
but I would have worried about him against really big guys like Lewis. Still, JQ
had all the heart in the world, and some bigger guys don't.|

Quarry was very strong for his size. Just about his only dominant moment in
Ali/Quarry 2 was when he picked up Ali and sat him almost on top of the ropes in
the first round.Lewis would have been a difficult fight for him but he
