PLEASE? My friend says that Jimmy Dupree was easily handling Mike Quarry until
he (Dupree) was disqualified to save Mike. I never saw the fight. Is this true?|

who visit this site, I want to thank you for your comments. I enjoy them
immensely. Secondly, I urge all of you to read my remarks regarding U.S. Senate
Bill 275 on the initial page of this website and write letters or send emails to
your U.S. Senators urging the passage of this bill. The approval of this
legislation in its present form would dramatically reform professional boxing in
terms of making it safer and more equitable for the boxers, ensure that the
rankings of the fighters be fairer, and produce fewer less sided matches.
Please support the AAIB and TJQF in this effort !!!!!!! THANKS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|

heavyweights of yesterday would be too small for todays oafs then think again.
Roy Jones proved that skill rides above all. Imagine a natural 160lb 'er beating
a 230lb 'er. Guys like Walcott and Charles were 185-200lbs they could easily put
on 15lb's and still be effctive..they just did'nt need to in their day.
Heavyweight boxing is a different game now - big and slow punchers rule the
roost as their are'nt many 'smaller' guys with skill about.Holyfield and Tyson
are exceptions.Look how great they were !|

has a heart and hope that i can appeal to your humanitarianism. I am one of
eight children of Jack and Arwanda quarry, which yielded close to 40
grandchildren and great grandchildren combined. Now that is alot of personality
exchanges, love, conflict, mishaps and miscomunications. No matter how close a
family can be there is love happiness and grief. Today was the second time i
have ever allowed information from this site to cross my ears or eyes, as people
who call themselves family, friends of the family and strangers evaluate the
inner most being of who the Quarrys are. We are just like your family, trying
to make it through conflict and happiness to find our place in the SON and sun.
On the most part, my family, although sometimes falling way short of the mark,
strive to become better people and better christians. But today i was informed
of a letter signed from anyone anywhere, commenting about my mom and sister
saying some of the most horrific and harsh words that could be written about
anyone whom in the last 3years has lost her 2 eldest sons. With Jerry no one on
earth should ever have to watch a gladiator of such great strenth and depth be
taken so slowly while the world watched. Shame on you the ones whom spoke as
though you had all the knowledge and information to say it was drugs and alcohol
and not the blunt force trauma that was recieved from a child to an adult. That
boy and that man strove for one thing... the crown he said he would have fought
for free to receive. That coveted crown, said to say, he himself never felt the
honor of his own triumps and i quote, "i was always the bridesmaid and never the
bride." you as a people have all the right in the world to have all the
opinions you want about his career but do you really have the right to delve
into our intermost being and convince yourselves that you could truly know our
intermost workings by everything the media or people say? How many conflicts in
your own world have you had to clear up, and set straight unforunately we can't
address all the misgivings. To today i am trying to say, have an open heart
about a family to which is trying to pass trough this life with as little grief
and as much friendship as we can find along the way. To those of you that write
because you loved Jerry and the gift of entertainment that this fantastic world
allowed him to share, thank you, he exposed his soul to you treat it kind as
kind as you would hope to be treated. To the person whom would not sign his
