January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

this. As I have already said I have read a few of his letters(written for
his beloved wife) written in Italianand they seem written by a 8 years old
guy. Now I say that if he had so much trouble with his nativelanguage, I
honestly don't believe that he could speak other languages very well ! Thanks
again !|

Carnera didn't have good writing skills in even his native language, Italian,
still doesn't tell me he wasn't smart. Reading and writing skills show
someone's education, not his intelligence. He very well could have spoke four
languages but perhaps he didn't read or write any languages
well.Remember that guy who came to this site and he said the posters
here were a bunch of illiterate goons and Jerry was a racist? He also insulted
some of the towns Jerry lived in and my hometown as well as being trailer park
trash towns, which means in derogatory terms, lower class white Americans. He
may not have even used this term but he sure inferred it-showing his own
ignorance in the process. My point is, this kind of person would
automatically say someone like Canera was a stupid person without having any
proof this was true. Just like he said the people who post here are stupid when
the opposite is the truth. I find some good intelliects here, even if their
English grammer and spelling, a problem I also have at times without spellcheck,
is not always perfect.|

have never thought that Carnera was dumb ! I simply don't know how smarthe
was. In reality, I can' t define intelligenceexactly and I don' t like to
judge people' s smartness. Sometimes, anyway, there is such overallquality
difference between two persons, that is obvious who is " better" than the other.
More often judging who is smarter between two guys is very hard. It's perfectly
possible ( if not probable) that Primo Carnera was much smarter thanme.|

current thought has it that there can be physical genius,musical
genius,interpersonal relationship genius,as well as scientific or philosophical
genius.There are linguistic genuises,and there are idiot savants.I like this
site because ,so far,we are not trying to use each others opinions on
70's,heavyweights,as an indication of our intelligents.Except for the two
stooges,Jimmy Dorsey and Kent Apell,who have turned on me in their obvious
frustration over the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.I am afraid,of course,that I
will require an apology from both Stooges after Feb. 1st.|

actually an Eagles fan? I am not. I was just comparing them to the old L.A.
Rans, who got close a lot of times but always came up short. I don't even have
a football team anymore as the St. Louis version is not my Rams. In my mind,
the Rams have never won the superbowl.Shouldn't you be rooting for the
New Jersey Giants? after all, they are no longer in New York.|

is set to fight Kitlischko again-at last a proper heavyweight fight. The
Ukrainian fighter was excellent against the Skilled Johnson and this re-match
should be a beauty. Being British i hope Lennox goes out on a high-he's given so
much to boxing and hasn't been given a lot back. I our rugby heroes can be
knighted than Lennox should be as well. In the meantime Toney v McCline
should be good. McCline is huge and skillful but doesn't have a punch so Toney
could just get a decision. Interesting though. It's about time modern
heavies fought a lot more-3 times a year ratrher than just the once as everybody
and not just Lennox seems to be doing so. I like Tua who although limited is
still exciting to watch and would probably beat both Ukrainian brothers. Does
anyone know if the likes of Byrd, W klitischko and Jones are set to fight soon?|
