January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

usiness make a living helping others so why not Cooney?To the best of
my knowledge Cooney has done nothing illegal and if he had done so, I am sure
his organization would have been shut down and he would have been in trouble
with the law.There are other people who help fighters who are down on
their luck or who are in need of assistance in landing on their feet after their
careers are over who do it for the pleasure of helping others. There is
room for these people but their is also room for Gerry Cooney as well.|

did some new exercises recently and am as sore as hell. If you haven't used
certain muscles for some time, and then you overdo it, like I did, look
out.By the way, Larry Holmes said on his site that he and Gerry Cooney
are, to quote him, very close friends. Holmes says that he helps Cooney with the
charity. Holmes said that he sees Joe Frazier about once a month and that Earnie
Shavers is now living in England. Larry said that he gets on well now with Ken
Norton, and that he saw Ali a few months back. The only guys that Larry bad
mouths is George Foreman and Scott LeDoux. There is genuine animosity between
Holmes and those two. Holmes also said that things have smoothed out between Ali
and Frazier as they've grown older.|

Holmes doesn't like Foreman. George seems like a nice guy but of course I only
met him briefly and you can't know someone by just their public image, as that
is really all of the information I have about him.I have never met
Ledoux and I don't know much about him from public knowledge as well other than
I remember him as a boxer.I exercise five days a week: I walk 45 minutes
Monday through Friday and I add 15 minutes of swimming and 15 minutes of karate
punches and kicks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.This will increase as the
weeks pass and I will be working out at the karate dojo three times a week, hour
classes, starting in September.I don't exercise on the weekend at all as
I am sore as well, mainly my ankles hurt from walking, and I need a couple of
days to rest up.My diet is much less carbs than I used to eat. Breakfast
cereal, no sugar of course and low fat milk. I also drink a glass of cranberry
juice and a glass of tomato juice in between meals. I have a piece of fruit
with breakfast and lunch and some fresh spinich plus half a tomato to go with my
dinner.For protein I eat two pieces of broiled chicken for lunch and
dinner. I do substitute a couple of hamburger patties for a one or two dinners
during the week but no buns or breads to go with them.In addition to the
above, I don't eat after 6 PM. No late night snacks is a key to the routine. I
sure do miss them though! I have used this diet to success, one time I
lost 60 pounds doing it. It works for me if I stick to it.Once I am in
to the routine for about six weeks, I can go off the program for a day or two on
the weekends and have a couple of beers or snacks but until then, I have to be
somewhat bored. Too bad but I need to do this. I wonder what my buddy
James Toney will say if he sees the new leaner me (actually the old me, the way
I used to be) in about six to eight months?|

lives in England, Liverpool to be precise. He met his current wife (his 5th!)
whilst doing some promotional work here and this is how he earns his money now.
But an interesting point is that when he moved over here, earnie actually worked
as a doorman at a Liverpool nightclub! Just imagine seing him deal with with
someone-that's one confrontation you don't want to be anywhere near! This story
