January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

That's why a guy like Quarry, in my opinion, would have his way with the
heavyweight division, 2005. |

Vitali, would give Jerry huge, no pun intended, problems. Because although they
appear to be lumbering, clumsy fighters, they have accurate fast combinations
with both hands and they both work well off of the jab."KENT, I don't
think that the KLITSCHKOS measure up to LENNOX LEWIS, as far as big heavies are
concerned. Granted VITALI gave LENNOX a run for his money, but LENNOX was pretty
much done by that point in time and LEWIS did bust him up pretty good. Don't
misunderstand me I'm not a LEWIS fan and really had a personal distaste for him
as a fighter but I do feel that the KLITSCHKOS are vastly over rated simply
because as ANGELO suggested, there isn't much out there currently.|

right, the K brothers are not as good as Lewis was but at least Vitali, is the
best we have right now and it would be a difficult task for Jerry to beat
him.Wladimir K. has excellent boxing skills and it is possible he could
bust up Jerry's tender skin but he usually starts to go down hill by round
number five and I don't think Jerry would let him off of the hook like Sam Peter
did. Sam had Wlad ready to go in round five of their fight but when he came out
for round six, he didn't do anything of note and Wlad was able to recover.
Jerry would have jumped on him and finished him if he didn't get him the
previous round.|

recognized by six states in the US of A. That's a fact. Even Frazier
acknowledges that in his book. Joe didn't want to fight the other guys picked
for the WBA tournament and that was his business, even though it tarnishes him.
However the title meant nothing until he beat Ellis. Before then he didn't want
the hard lead-up fights the WBA tournament would have given him. All the other
ranked guys were ready to fight him. Fan - I appreciate your civility,
too, and that's what Brenda was asking for. It's good to see it's picked up.
Thanks.|

within that tournament, only QUARRY & ELLIS would have been worthy opponents. If
FRAZIER had participated, he would most definitely have come out on top with
nowhere to go(we didn't know then that ALI would be back in '70). He fought
JERRY twice and ELLIS twice, I believe. He also fought MACHEN, BONAVENA &
CHUVALO on the way up, all three of whom were decent fighters. As champion he
should have given NORTON a shot, as it would have been a $$$ fight, but the big
ones he took on more than once, ALI & FOREMAN, so we can say that he fought the
two best fighters of that era.|

think that the younger and more criticised Wladimir has the better record by
far. He has beaten Byrd which by today's standards was a top win, Botha, Mercer,
McCline, Barrett, Williamson and now the big current danger in Samuel Peter
which was a very big points win. Vitali, on the other hand, put in an impressive
but ultimately losing battle against an underprepared Lewis a good win win
against Sanders (as did Rahman) an Kirk Johnson of note. At the moment the likes
of Tua and Rahman have better names on their list. The two of them are probably
the best two hevys out there at the moment still. I hope the rumours of Toney vs
Byrd in January are true.|

Frazier? How many converts does he have now? Let's just agree to disagree on
