January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

there,Wished i'd been to half the fights you have been to in your life,One of
the few Jerry Quarry fights i've seen live was James J.Woody in Vegas'And what
an exciting 2 rounds that was,James J.really was in good shape,and throwing
bombs before Jerry just overwhelmed him,Jerry'd just married "charlie" 2 days
before,was'nt gonna let anyone beat him,i'm glad you picked up on last nights
post and Quarry-Frazier 34 years ago to the day,but Forrest,not everyone in
JERRY'S corner has gone to the great beyond,GIL CLANCY was also in Jerry's
corner in the 69'bout,he's still alive isn't he? also worked Mac Foster's corner
in 70' vs JERRY,AND QUARRY had Chickie Ferrara,then Chickie was in Ali's corner
vs JQ, THIS IS GETTING CONFUSING|

it's nice to hear from you. The night of Frazier-Quarry I, in Jerry's corner
were Johnny Flores and Teddy Bentham, sadly all 3 are gone. Gil Clancy was
actually assisting Joe Frazier that night. He was not actually in the corner,
but on the fringes. Yank Durham and Gil Clancy were friends. Joe Frazier and
Emile Griffith both trained together at the Concord Hotel for their March 1968
fight in the then new MSG, for their double header against Mathis and Benvenuti.
Durham, used Clancy the night of the Quarry fight for "insurance". Clancy was a
MSG "insider" and a little "insurance" against Jerry was welcome, but it was not
necessary that night.Jim, interesting enough that night the walkout that
night was Forest Ward against Charley "Emperor" Harris. Ward got a gift 4 round
decision. If the fight went one more round Harris would have knocked Ward out.
Clancy was in Ward's corner as his manager and trainer.|

Lewis proved once again why he doesn't belong in the same category with Ali, Joe
Louis, Marciano, Larry Holmes, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, etc. Don't get me
wrong---I think he's been a fine Champion and has represented the sport well.
He's had the belt a long time. But it just seems as though he's missing some
important ingredient that keeps him in the "very good" class and prevents him
from graduating to the "GREAT" class. Too often, he's lost or looked very
average in victory. Sure, a guy like Larry Holmes got knocked down by Shavers
or had trouble with Renaldo Snipes---but would find a way to turn the tide.
Again, as an example, Holmes had his hands full with Mike Weaver, but reached
