January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

in the top 25? In some ways He reminds me of Jerry Quarry.He had all the talent
needed to dominate the division, and yet he falls to Buster Mathis.Then he gets
outsmarted by Hollyfield.It seems as though his emotional instabilaty would not
allow him to train and develop strategies for different opponents.Just as Jerry
seemed to either fight down to the level of his opponent,{Floyd Patterson},he
seemed not to fight with the same intensity as in other fights.He slugged with
Frazier and boxed with Jimmy Ellis.He should have and could have blown both
Patterson and Ellis out of the ring!He had some some mediocre efforts in some of
his draws.such as Tony Longi.I think I;m trying to say that some of the most
exciting fighters,like Quarry and Tyson,have attracted so much attention over
the years because they where both unpredictable knockout artists.|

right that dropped Marciano. I don't have the fight on tape but I think Moore
threw a left hook before or after the right I not sure. Steve from Jersey, I
think I told you Tex rickard was Dempsey's manager. It should have read "Tex
Rickard, Dempsey's promoter". Doc Kearns was Dempsey's manager. Rickard also
promoted the Johnson-Jeffries fight and swore he'd never promote a fight between
a white and black again. Sorry about that. |
|6/16/02 02:53:22 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|I pick Holyfield to stop Cooney in
ten rounds and Machen to outbox Chuvalo for a wide decision. Okay the last
sixteen are : - Tony Tucker, Jerry Quarry, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, George
Foreman, Eddie Machen, Evander Holyfield, Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier,
Muhammad Ali, Carl Williams, Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles, Earnie Shavers, Lennox
Lewis.|
|6/17/02 04:51:11 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Well its time for the last sixteen -
first match - Sonny Liston vs Carl Williams. In the second match we see World
War III - George Foreman vs Earnie ShaversMay I say it was terrible to
read of James in his condition all my thoughts go out to the Quarry family and
friends. God bless you all. Evren|

through Williams easily as he did most of his so-so opposition. Liston with a
4th round KO. Foreman and Shavers would be great, but Foreman was able to jab
and had more skill then Earnie and that would help him land his shots in the 2nd
round and knock Earnie out. |

sixth round knockout over Williams and Foreman, in a wild one, over Shavers by
fourth round Kayo. Foreman has Shavers down three times in the fight but not
before being staggered himself on several occasions. |

June 17th, marked the 32nd anniversary of Jerry's 6th round knockout over Mac
Foster in the Garden. Exactly four years later, Smokin' Joe stopped Jerry in 5.

|6/19/02 08:32:10 AM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|Just watched
Quarry-Norton again and can say that Jerry would have had at least a 50-50 shot
against him in his prime. I love Norton, but Jerry was setting traps for Norton
and just missing. 5 years earlier he connects and delivers a knockout in my
opinion. |
|6/19/02 12:50:45 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I agree Joe,
Jerry would have had a good chance of beating Norton prime verses prime. As it
was, Jerry fought well even though he was on the way down skillwise and he
hadn't trained enough for the fight. The fight would have been closer if the cut
hadn't happened (sound familar?). Jerry punched himself out in that third round
