January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

when he was motivated. For the most part, Lennox Lewis, while not my idea of a
great champion, has come prepared and proven himself to win his fights in some
way, shape or form. Lewis hasn't always won impressively, but he manages to get
the wins and hold the belt and that's pretty good. Page and Bowe let themselves
get out of shape in between fights and sometimes didn't even get back into good
shape for the fights. If these two were primed for a war, I think it would be a
good fight with Bowe getting a middle round knockout win. |

rated by manythe best heavyweight of all time because he beat the great
Primo Carnera...|

Just as Ali and Frazier defined the greatness of each other, there's no
doubt beating da Preem defined Louis's greatness! Sssh, this is a little known
fact! :-)|

I was reading thru the archives a little y'day, rereading the postings of James
Q, Kent, Paul, Joe and even George Foreman, pretty cool stuff. Many of the same
topics, yes : Jerry versus everybody, the family, Joe Frazier stuff and so
forth. This has been a great place for opinion and I've been grateful for it.
Jerry's era had so many great figures and moments, and it has been alot of fun
discussing and allowing all the opinion that has flowed. I've met some
intersting people here and learned some things. Frankly, I was amazed that a
site like this would exist for my favorite boxer, given that he never became THE
Champ and that his actual abilty still remains a secret to many when his famous
losses are what is usually presented. I still consider Jerry a former champ, and
Mike too, and am glad they were there for me to watch when I was a kid in the
70's. I still watch Jerry's highlight tape about once a month or so, surprised
it hasn't wore out. It may seem like living in yesterday, but I'll watch
something better in the heavyweight division when it shows up, and I'm not
holding my breath waiting for it. Jerry and his contemporaries were good heroes
whose era lives on and on. It's been fun discussing and challenging things here,
and rekindling the life of Jerry, his time, and all those who were part of it.
Hopefully, it will continue just as well in 2004. Peace guys, and Happy New
Year! |

efforts this past year in advocating positive changes to the sport and those who
participate in it. Boxing is a tough sell today, and getting the mainstream to
care enough to improve it's condition is a steep hill to climb. But boxing is a
reality that will not go away, and I think eventually people will see that, and
the need for the kind of legislation being presented. Thanks Mr. Otto for
continuing to fight the good fight. |

Gerry, the archives can be quite fun to go through. I wish I could go to the old
Joe Frazier's gym site again but it doesn't exist anymore. We had some wild
discussions there, to say the least and it would be quite entertaining to read
