CALIFORNIA||ronnyrains@yahoo.com||||10|I sure wished everyone here, could have
seen JERRY QUARRY in the 1974 "superstars competetion" where Jerry took on
mostly N.F.L. Players after he beat Shavers. and finished 4th over people like
roger staubach, and CARL ELLER,He really made every event he was in exciting!and
finished behind O.J.simpson,Dick Anderson and Franco Harris in that order,he was
tanned and in shape and there to win some points,and some moolah! He has the
boxer's record for 28 total points,non other is even close,a few years later
Shavers ran a 10.5 100 yard dash,his next bout was a FIRST ROUND KAYO of
NORTON,no one seems to have the tape of that 1974 "version"|

fun to go back and watch those old Superstars shows. No doubt, Jerry was a
fierce competitor, whether it be boxing or any other endeavor. It doesn't
surprise me that he did so well---and he was matched against some pretty tough
company.As for Lennox Lewis having a glass jaw---I don't think so. The
times he's been put out, the punches have been extraordinary. But on the other
hand, the "heart of a champion" makes some guys climb up off the canvas when
they're clocked and fall down. You saw Ali get up after getting blasted by
Frazier in the first fight, and it was in the 14th round I believe, after both
guys were punished and spent. As I said before, you saw Holmes get up to win
after Shavers dropped a major bomb on him. Lewis falls short of joining that
elite group, but I don't think it's fair to put him in the glass jaw category
either. |

seen Jerry on the superstars in 1974. I saw the 1975 version and he didn't fare
as well. He wasn't in good shapy then and it showed in his poor performance.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Kent:(THE "CURLY Q. LINK" OF OUR FEARLESS
LEADERS CLUB).You would not believe how Jerry competed in the first one he was
in (1974-superstars).There is no comparison,You being a big JQ Fan Kent,it would
be worth trying to find,he set the records in baseball hitting and
bowling,second in bike race and golf,went out at 220 lbs rather than 200 in
75'weight lifting,And he was all business,he was in only 6 events in 1975, he
missed the bowling, in which i'm sure he would have finished higher, although I
don't think he did that poorly it was after his loss to Frazier and a couple
weeks before his bout with "SCRAP IRON" He had fun hanging with Rollie Fingers
And Bobby Murcer(Bobby took on Jerry!).But I can Remember James(Moe),Sying Jerry
told him there were alotta fragile ego's there,(i will not mention names)|

did...Just like my father James...Because "There's no quit in a Quarry"...|

ironically, it seems like you're disturbed by other peoples opinions that are
different than your two boxing gurus. Why do you you feel you need to place the
stagecoaches in a circle and defend any attacks? Does this make you feel part of
something big? John Gerard: Did I once ever, check my posts please, suggest that
Cooney had an iron chin? Why do you go off on different tandems? Maybe its
because it helps you divert the real facts. Who did Chuvalo beat again in a 20
yr carrer that was in the top ten other than Quarry? Ramos, Jones? I give
Cooney credit for getting in the ring as I do Chuvalo, but to be a Cooney hater
with half truths merits a challenge every time. PS;Lewis is a good boxer but he
does have a glass jaw|

Jerry Quarry had the reach and size of Cooney he would at least be in the top 3
in the world. That's 90% of what Lewis has going for him. He uses his righthand
like a jab. George Chavalo a super tough, nice guy also. Nuff said|
