January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

middleweight and won the title from another oustanding champion Davey
Moore.Pundits consider Duran arguably the greatest lightweight of all
time. He was the ultimate warrior who loved the thrill of battle. If you wanted
someone beside you in a war then the legendary Duran fits that bill despite that
single moment of madness against Leonard in the 'No mas' fight. Fight
fans of all divisions, rather than just the heavyweights, have Roberto right up
there with the pound-for-pound legends. You've only got to examine his record to
understand why. It's a great pity that it has that one stain. |

way Earnie Shavers quit against Jerry Quarry. He beat the count when he got
knocked down but he rose on very unsteady legs and the referee made the correct
decision by stopping the fight as Shavers didn't know where he was. Shavers
could have been seriously hurt if he had been allowed to continue.I also
don't believe Norton quit when he got knocked out by Shavers. Sometimes a
fighter just gets caught early.I am not sure why Norton said Shavers
quit when Jerry knocked him out. Sour grapes for people pointing out Norton got
knocked out early a few times himself?|

fight in the heavyweight division is Lamon Brewster vs Luan Krasniqui ! People
is already talking in the streets about this fight..."Brewster is gonna win!",
"Krasniqui is gonna win!". People just can't wait!|

was the prefight nonsense before Shavers-Norton when those comments took place.
Shavers said that he would KO Norton because he questioned Norton's heart,
pointing out that Norton "quit" against Foreman, rather than mix it up. Norton
countered that "Shavers quit against Lyle and he quit against Quarry." Shavers
had the last laugh as the fight didn't make it out of the first round. He was
gracious to Norton in victory though. Noam: I agree with you that Foreman
probably could have beaten the count and continued against Ali, but he was
spent. Ali would have gotten to him and put him away within seconds. |
|9/27/05 11:12:53 AM|Peter|Cleveland||N/A||||10|Angelo, Foreman would have had
to gotten up very quickly. Because I looked at the tape and the referee gave him
a very fast count. I have no doubt that even if Foreman was given a normal count
he still would have lost. I still feel comparing Foreman's defeat to Tyson's
disqualification, or Duran's quitting on his stool is quite a stretch no matter
how you look at it|
|9/27/05 02:04:00 PM|Gerry|Cleveland||same||||10|The boxer beat the puncher in
Klitschko's win over Peter. Some dirty stuff also I guess on Peter's
part.But the main thing was the younger Klitschko took Peter's punch and got
up three times to win.He still reminds me some of Gerry Cooney, but he has
what it takes to be one of today's 14 heavyweight belt holders...Brewster-
Krasniqui, yeah! Get your PPV now. Actually, should be a pretty good match by
today's standards, with two guys looking for some credibility ...Foreman did
not quit versus Ali, he was winded.The poor guy should have eased up after
Round Five and forced Ali to pursue him a little. Foreman had the belt and a
huge lead at that point ...Duran was a true legend, but he was no Ray
Leonard. Sugar Ray was a much bigger legend, and he badly outclassed Duran in
the No Mas fight.His fight with Hearns was just incredible, one of the best
I ever saw.Thanks. |

Actually, I don't think Duran quit on his stool---he quit during the round by
waving Leonard away and turning his back to Leonard. It was a bad night for
Duran but doesn't take away from his many great wins, titles and overall
accomplishments. "Hands of Stone" is still a legend. As for Leonard, he had
already proven himself to the world by the time he met Hearns---but I was
stubborn enough to claim that Leonard was just an Olympic/ABC TV darling and
that Hearns would expose him and batter him. Well, Leonard was simply amazing
