January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

having his battles with Forrest and it got nasty no one told Noam he was out of
line. Why all of a sudden in recent weeks has he become the bad guy And
in perfect fairnesss to Noam if he feels he is being insulted then is going to
respond in kind. As he should, unlike Ali during the Viet Nam war, Noam never
pretended to be a pacifist.|

us are in charge of this site but the stooges will always be special here as Mr.
Jimmy himself was one of us, an original stooge.A lot of us, in the heat
of a few moments, posted things we regret and should not have posted. Let's
leave it at that.Guys, Earnie Shavers was amazing as we were never sure
how his fights were going to turn out. He could be almost out on his feet,
about to go down to defeat and out of nowhere he could win with just one or two
punches he hit so hard.His fight with Lyle was one of the best I have
ever seen. I don't know how this thing lasted into the six round as both
fighters were throwing bombs the entire time. |

fighting kickboxers awhile back..he tells how brutal it
was..http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2142665|

fight was...DRUMROLL...The Thrilla in Manilla. He earned 6 millions dollars for
that fight! I have learnt that in a book on Ali' I found in a bancarella in the
street in Roma. I also learned that Ali' earned about 30 million dollars in his
overall career. |

for some boxers to adapt to different rules and it isn't surprising that Mercer
could be caught by a kick to the head, Mercer in the article admits to not even
knowing how to block a kick or how to kick himself. He wore boxing shoes, which
made it illegal for him to kick in kick boxing while his opponents fought bare
footed.There have been boxers who have had at least limited success in
other fighting sports. Tex Cobb had a winning record in kick boxing, he fought
for the United States heavyweight title but lost, while former cruiserweight
champion Al Cole has won some matches in "no holds barred" fighting.
Cole finished second in at least one of the Ultimate fighting
tournaments he entered. He defeated all of his opponents to reach the finals
but lost his last match from a submission hold. |

of them all: PRIMO CARNERA. He became wrestling heavyweight champion of the
whole wide wordl in 1957. Primo made way more money with wrestling than with
boxing! On the other hand, Chuck Wepner lost to "the Midget" in 1976.|

please get some honor and principles. You called me a liar and you were proved
wrong. Apologize please. Noam identified the time and date you made the
statement about Steve. Apologize to him also, please. Come to think of it, you
owe Steve an apology also.|

Ali/Quarry 1 on ESPN Classic. Ali won all three rounds but Jerry was hanging
tough and it is a shame he got busted up. I think Jerry would have likely gone
the distance if not for the cut and it would have been interesting to see how
much Ali had left going the distance after the long layoff.Jerry seemed
to be finding the range just a little bit more each round and it would have been
more competitive as the fight went on but Ali likely would have won by
decision.It is pretty impressive that Ali would take on Jerry in his
first fight back after a long layoff as most fighters would have taken an easier
opponent. That he took on Bonevena not long after this is also impressive but I
don't think this was the wisest move to take on tough competion so soon as maybe
two lower ranked opponents would have been better followed by Quarry and
Bonevena before going after the title.But I have heard that not many
