January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Roadscholarette, I challenge you not only to debate on any subject but also to
ask me anything, whether it has to do with sports, science, medicine, law,
history, business, art, literature or any other subject. You imply you are an
intelligent, knowledgable person, and I say that's a lie. You all have
your assignments here. Good luck. |

this site.Thank you for the video posts! Their a great enhancement to this
site.I didn't have any film of the Bear-Galento fight.Max Bear impressed me with
his patient,mostly controlled handling of a non-conventional,but very lethal
foe. Hey Giancarlo and Thelma,your
missing the point , my friends.This site is for people who are interested in the
heavyweights of the late 60's,70's,up until today.It's especially for people who
enjoyed and admired Jerry Quarry's career.Naturally,true fans will show an
interest in his personal life as well. He was, after all, a pretty flamboyant
figure.I'm not on this site to judge Jerry Quarry.Only to learn as much as Ican
about this larger-than-life character.There is no record of him ever uttering a
racial slur.Thelma,when you say he wasn't well regarded amongst blacks,I take
that to mean that you feel you are the spokeswoman for all blacks. I won't
apoligize for being a fan of a white fighter.Let me ask you,are you a fan of
country western music,or Michael Fienstein? As to Jerry being a rompin,stompin
irish street fighter,I just think that makes him all the more interesting. bASED
ON THE POSTS FROM HIS FAMILY MEMBERS,he must have been a pretty loving family
man.Hey Giancano,you would do well to rememberan old Joe Frazier quote. When
asked to stage a fight sequence in a movie,Joe wasn't able to pull his punches
enough to ensure the safety of the leading man.He was not used for the film.When
asked about this,he said,"hey,I told them, when you step into the ring with me
,this ain't Hollywood." Your bitter experiences in hollywood do not qualify you
to judge either Jerry Quarry or the people who post here. I enjoy all the
sincere,intellegent posters,Kent,Bob B.,Jimmy
Dorsey,Rhoadschollarette,Fran,Max,and all the rest who take the exchange of
information and pleasant observations seriously.|

remember hearing once that Frazier was involved in something like this, but
don't know the title of the movie or TV show. Do you happen to remember it? I'm
sure every fighter has been in situations where fools challenge him. Probably
most of the time, conflict can be avoided (for the good of the challenger). I
can envision cases where this wouldn't be possible, however.Thank you
for the kind words. Someone simply (brain) farted. We'll just raise the windows.
It'll air out in due time. LOL!|

seem pretty pissed of! Admittedly most of the posters here are just average
fight fans.I enjoy this site because I loved that time of my life. You sound
like you are probably well educated.That's something most of us cannot claim.
Why the anger?? The beauty of this site is that I know that my posts and
opinions won't be castigated for improper syntax or poor spelling.Can you
provide some bibliograpy or any documentation to support your opinion of Jerry
Quarry? Oh, by the way,Giancarlo,please don't start with the stupid physical
threat nonsence,even masked as a challenge to debate! You stated you will fight
anyone here,or debate anyone here.Everybody's a bad ass on an anonymous web
site.|

where a fighter in Philly in the seventies,I would love to hear some stories!! I
was in the eighth row when Eugene "Cyclone" Hart and Denny Moyer went out of the
ring together.That was at the Blue Horizon .I saw Emile Griffith, and Dick Tiger
