January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

eing equal (injuries, condition, illness). In tests done with resistance
training, over 100% gains have been evidenced in people in nursing homes, even
into their 80s and 90s.If George gets back in the 220-230 range, he'll
be amazed at how fast he is, and my guess is that his punch is still there.
People who ~stay~ in shape age very slowly. Larry Holmes and George seem to have
a very real animosity. A fight would be interesting - two all time top
tenners...|

Tyson ? I have read that Tyson has financial problems ( noooooo ! Unbeliveble !
) and wants to coming back ( or to come back ) in June. I have read also that
maybe Iron Mike will fight in Rome !"Wants to coming back " or " want to
come back" ? Sometimes I have problems to conijugate ( or in conjugation, or for
conjugating) the verbs !|

(Shemp)Yes Quarry vs Holyfield or Tyson or Foreman would have been real
naturals.No Jerry wouldn't have been intimadated in any form of the word,his
courage was unbelieveable.You see the tale of the tape JQ VS ANYBODY his guns
were huge (17 1/2) his fists were always bigger(15 inch paws)seemed to always
have the less on the reach(72-inch) FRAZIER'S WAS 73 1/2 and one thing for
certain he always had the biggest heart.it could only be matched at best in my
opinion like Joe Frazier,Carmen Basilio,Marciano etc.On another note Boxing
Record does a good job of getting the hardcore fight stats, they had Mike Quarry
and Mike Nixon'S friday night fights in the summer of 75 at the Aladdin in Las
Vegas, those bouts were staged at the de-funct Dunes hotel,first week was
rematch with Mike Quarry vs Pedro Soto,and the next week also a rematch was
Nixon-Mike Rossman.|

older people can be amazingly phyiscally fit but I have a feeling that they may
not be able to take the punishment as well. I have not seen any studies that
compare how much more vunerable to head trauma older people are as compared to
younger people but my feeling is they are more vunerable. It is a fact that
older persons have more brittle bones and heal slower from injuries. This is a
factor that should be considered.My trainer (that is whenever I cart my
big behind over to the dojo), a former amatuer boxer, rodeo rider, and now
karate instructor who took up karate in his forties and is now 66 years old, is
in excellent physical shape, in fact better than me and he is a great role model
for me, in my forties, that all is not lost. However, he talks about riding the
rodeo circuit again. I don't believe this is wise of him because of his
advanced age. Rodeo, like boxing, can take a tremendous physical toll and there
is the danger of head trauma there as well. |

They said on the news that out of $200 million that he'd earned, Mike
Tyson now has only a little over $5,000. There are a lot of things about MT that
can ruin a person's sympathy for him, but if you read and listen to the things
he says (even if they're goofy or mean), he's clearly intelligent, but virtually
friendless, and has lived a terrible life. Sometimes, I think all he wants is a
friend, but lacks the wherewithal to make and keep any. People who have him on
shows, of in movies say he's a real sweetheart to be/work with. I also suspect
he, like Ali, has a lot of little boy in him, hence is vulnerable to sharks like
Don King. As Leno joked last night (pretending to be King), "What? He has
$5,000? How'd I miss ~that~?" Sad.Kent -I may be wrong, but I
think I read somewhere that in terms of injury, rodeo is the most dangerous
