January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

"trust me" they are very good reasons even though I can't tell you what they
are, that you are an important guy who the Quarrys trust, and that you know
heaps of important guys, and that you know more than everyone else just because
you do and that's that. Come again ?Why didn't you tell everyone wqeeks
ago when it was relevant that you have three books written by Hauser ? What are
the titles ? What are they about ? And as Howard asked, quote verbatim the
comments from them where Hauser proves that he is biased. I'm setting some tough
assignments here, guys.Fan, I had to explain to you weeks ago exactly
who Hauser was because you didn't seem to know. Now you say that you really did
know and that you've read him. Well, give us a review on books you actually have
read, rather than the review on the one you haven't.)|

(Frazier was very close to his prime in this fight, Ellis was confident and came
to fight)2)Bonavena 2 (Frazier did beat with ease a top 10
contender)3)Quarry 2 (Jerry was in great shape and very
confident)4)Mathis (Mathis was a great dancer and a big fella. He even beat
Joe twice as an amateur. He looked twice bigger than Duckin' Joe).5)Quarry 1
(Just watch this fight, yeah!)6)Bonavena 1 (It was only Joe's eleventh
fight. Joe deserved at least a draw against a top tenner.It's the only fight in
which Joe actually proved he could recover from one and a half knockdowns to win
a fight).7)Chuvalo (Ask Ali' whether Chuvalo was a dogmeat or
not.)8)Doug Jones (He was small but very good. He gave Clay a very tough
fight and knocked top contender Zora Folley out. He was only 30 when he fought
Duckin' Joe, 26 when he fought Cassio Marcello).9) Eddie Machen (He was a
little washed up, but still a very good test, especially for a young
fighter).Just my 0.02, yeah!|

another good win soon after his first fight with Giorgio.|

that the site was better in 2002. The only tangible decline of the site was the
passing of James Quarry---it was always great when he checked in to give his
opinions, or his insights of actually witnessing Jerry's/Mike's career
achievements from such a close place. But as far as boxing knowledge, I think
the posters here are as strong as ever. Debate is what gives so much passion
and life to any sports discussion, boxing included. Comparing guys from
different eras, arguing about the merits of Frazier's career, voicing that Jerry
would have beaten Ellis if not for an injured back, etc., all are fun to read
and think about. I don't think personal attacks against people with different
opinions is healthy---but likewise, I don't think criticizing the site because
we aren't all generic clones is fair either. We think differently---a little
sarcasm is good fun---debate is healthy---from what I can tell, most of the
regulars know boxing as well as most sportswriters. It's all good. It's a lot
better than a "tribute board" which is what you find on some other sites
dedicated to a specific boxer. Here, most of us found the site because we're
Quarry fans, but we keep coming back for other reasons. By the way Noam, the
same Hollywood insider who told you "Weekend at Bernies" was based on Frazier-
Ellis II., told me that "Brian's Song" wasn't based on Gayle Sayers/Brian
Piccolo, but actually rooted in the friendship of Joe and Kenny. So close, they
couldn't fight. |

Howard C and the rest are good posters, however I do miss James alot. He
offered a really good perspective. I also miss Evren and Br DKS. DKS would be
on the Ali side of this argument, but he was entertaining as hell.|

make little money doing boxing journalism. I do have some free lance work for
some local newspapers that pick some of my articles.Eastside Boxing gave
me my start, a chance to learn by doing and a large part of my portfolio is in
