January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

was part of an article on him in the English Daily Telegraph so the authenticity
is pretty reliable.|

weight, you have to hit the heavybag! Hit it, hit it again and keep on hiting it
until there is (or there will be) a hole in the heavybag, a big hole of the size
of a melon! When that sucker Giacomo Toney will see you in top shape he will be
scared s$$tless of you and will treat you with great respect! As (or like) the
Italian Stallion would say...That's street cred ("cred" is Slang for "rules of
the street" or "street's rules")!|
|8/25/05 09:46:18 AM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|I was thinking that Earnie Shavers,
since now he is not a youngster anymore, I guess he has lost some of his
power...Probably now he can't hit that hard anymore... Now, I immagine, his
punches are just (or only) the same power as Mike Tyson's at 20, when Tyson beat
Berbick!|

another legend over there, in California, Foreman! Now the question is obvious:
how wilt is he ?|
|8/25/05 02:57:55 PM|Gerry|Cleveland||same||||9|Sorry, Noam. Most of what I said
, nearly all of it really, was in response to others, and very often you. Don't
lay your stuff off on others.As for me questioning anyone's Vet status or
whatever, Howard or whoever, that's a lie.I'm a vet myself, why would I do
that?See, this is exactly the nonsense that is the trouble here. Get
over yourselves and move on.|
|8/25/05 06:10:29 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Massimo, I
met Foreman during the 1980s when he was in retirement from boxing and preaching
in churchs. It was at a small church service so I got to speak one on
one to him, I didn't speak to him about anything significant though. I
would say he is tall, about 6'4," but what I remember most about standing next
to him is how big he was, his shoulders and arms were huge. I thought, this is
a very big man.Unlike my experience in seeing our Jerry Quarry, who had
big arms and who looked very strong, Jerry seemed the same size as me (back in
the 1980s), but it was obvious Jerry was stronger than me even if I hadn't
known he was a professional boxer.|
|8/25/05 06:25:19 PM|Gerry|Cleveland||same||||10|Some of my favorite memories on
George Foreman:I did see his cameo on "Sanford and Son" again recently. Not
the actor Jerry was. But still, it was interesting.Stalking Frazier in their
second fight. He looked like a boxer AND a puncher that night, never better, in
my opinion.Hitting the heavy bag in "When We Were Kings".I still don't
know how Ali stayed up in front of that kind of power. Drugs?Finally, waving
that little flag in the Olympics in 1968. That action had a very positive
impact.It impresses me alot that he became such a good guy later in life
after his career was over.Almost like two different guys, really. Thanks.|

Please, Noam, it isn't hard to verify that no one has derided others to
the extent you have, the posts are all available. Drunks, mental cases,
repressed homosexuals, disgraced former policemen - not to mention dead parrots.
You even turned on Howard and/or Angelo as I recall.Whoever said you are
obsessed with Ali was right. Every discussion comes back to him, still. Enough
already. Ditto re: Forest. He said some obnoxious things. He also made
some great contributions to the dialogue. But he's gone now. Move
on.The Cooney discussion reminded me that Forest contradicted my
positive comments about Gerry. Real weird if I am Forest The Imposter (another
pesistent Noam insult).Perhaps it's not too late, just stop already, as
Brandi asked us all to. It is possible to discuss boxing, and even disagree,
without being nasty and accusatory. Glad to see Kent has returned. |

know what has been said in the past, there is no reason to bring it up again and
