January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

anything from 6'5" to 7'7". I have started thinking his true height was around
5'9". But this is like the secret of COKE, WE'LL NEVER KNOW, that's the legend
of Andre'!! |

Wepner got back to his corner, he triumphantly boasted to his trainer that he'd
knocked Ali down. The trainer answered, "yeah, but I think he's
pissed."Okay, so Wepner knocked him down in the 9th. Frazier knocked Ali
down. Cooper knocked him down. I can't remember any others. Oh, Banks knocked
him down. So that's four. Are there any others ?By my count, Frazier was
knocked down 11 times - once against Bruce, twice against Bonavena, six times
against Foreman in the first fight, and twice against Foreman in the second
one.|

one.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Yes Ali officially hit the deck 4 times
Wepner's should not have counted, for he stepped on his foot and then shoved him
down, Jerry Quarry hit the deck 7 times, which is just about how many for Oscar
Bonavena, Quarry was knocked down by Roy Crear in San Antonio,Al "Memphis" Jones
(TWICE IN SAN FRANCISCO) In the Draw with Floyd Patterson (MORE LIKE A SLIP)
George Chuvalo,Joe Alexander, and Joe Frazier (2nd bout) of course Jerry'd
knocked his opponets down to more than a 10-1 ratio, which is one of the best.|

is somewhat like a dumbass metaphor for saying that,many people die in wars,but
look how many people the Army gives a career to and saves from the
streets.Neither idea makes alot of sence.In either profession,you join up,and
take your chances.At least in the Militaty,there are some redeeming
qualities.Getting punched in the face for a living is not conducive to a happy
life.Don't get me wrong,I enjoy it.I wish I'd had the stuff to be a fighter
myself.However,that's just me.Maybe that's why I joined the Army.However,I don't
like putting any credence in anything some pompious sports writer said.
Hey Jimmy D.,getting knocked down in your career doesn't mean a thing if you get
up and win.Any fighter can get knocked down.|
|8/1/05 03:22:05 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Hey, I never
was in the military and I also never even registered for the
draft.Before anyone starts screaming draft dodger, know that President
Ford did away with mandantory registration for males when they turn eighteen and
this was in effect for about three years when it was reinstated by President
Jimmy Carter in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the hostage
crisis in Iran.The law says any male born after 1/1/60 has to register
for a possible draft. I was born before this date and I turned eighteen when
Ford's restriction was on after the Vietnam war.Believe me, I checked
and I made sure I didn't have to register because if I had too, I would have
done so. It was perfectly legal for me not to. |
|8/1/05 03:47:36 PM|Steve|nj||na||||10|Kent and Jimmy D.What do you think are
the criterion for the toughest fighter of the 1965 to 1975 era? Not the best
fighter,just the toughest? I'll wait for an answer.Without answering my own
question,I'd list Jerry Quarry,Eddie Machen,Frazier,Ali,Chuvallo.|

between 1965-1975 was George Chuvalo.|

Steve; Well, it's a small world, so, we do know each other. I would like
everyone who knows Steve by way of posting on this site that Steve is really a

true at all. From talking with Steve at our weekly Veterans group meetings i
know this, Steve served his tour of duty in Nam with the (FIRST CAV.) as a
