January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

unlike JERRY enjoyed his retirement.A lot of people who were not impressed with
JQ (AND EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN OPINION).have no idea how tough Jerry Q.
WAS,People have no idea how AMOS LINCOLN top ten contender(and,at the time)for
RING MAGAZINE. and 20 year old JERRY used to go at each other sparring,Jerry got
the best of Frazier in 1966 at MAIN STREET GYM,Till Frazier knocked Jerry's
teeth thru his lower lip.and cost him an up coming bout with a left hook. Eddie
Futch himself kept them away from each other,Until they could fight for
something $ (THE TITLE)There's a sight on the internet Pro-Marciano, who voiced
his opinion on how THE ROCK could beat Frazier,"SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT JERRY
QUARRY,THE MAN WAS NOT A PUNCHER"No He was the only non-champ to beat 8 top ten
contenders between the 60's and 70's. AND ONLY KNOCKOUT 4 OF THEM. Say what you
want about Rocky Marciano,I'll throw a few bucks Quarry's way! Jerry probably
only knocked out a few 100 people and 5 in three days(NATIONAL GOLDEN GLOVES)
BUT NO HE WAS'NT A PUNCHER !!!!!!!!!!|

think Joe Frazier would have a good shot at beating Marciano, I think Jerry
would have a good chance also. Marciano threw a lot of telegraphed punches
while moving in that JQ could have avoided and countered. But some things in
Rocky's favor are that once he got inside, he threw very short punches and he
also was a very accurate puncher. Rocky's pin point sharp punching could spell
doom to a fighter prone to cuts like Jerry. All and all, a Marciano verses
Quarry fight turns out to be a great fight, a real war.|

somewhere many years ago that Muhammad Ali had good things to say about
Marciano's boxing/punching ability after staging the 15 round "Computer" fight
with Rocky. Apparently, a computer decided that Ali would win a decision in a
15 round title fight against Marciano. Marciano was retired, but he agreed to
put on the trunks and enact the "fight" against Ali on film. Ali thought that
the fight would be more exciting if it ended in knockout instead of decision.
Marciano said "I'm not going to get knocked out by anyone." to which Ali said
he'd take the KO for a more exciting outcome. Anyway, during the filming, they
had to throw some leather and Ali said that even an older, retired and rusty
Marciano had surprisingly good movement and skills, as well as punching power---
and he really wasn't throwing anywhere near full force. |

actual ending that the computer picked was Marciano winning by thirteenth round
knockout over Ali.|

JERRYS BIGGEST FAN, BUT I HAVE TO PICK ROCKY BECAUSE OF CONDITIONING, ROCKY

MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE WITH THAT, JIMMYS KINDA OUT THERE ON THE LIMB PICKING
JERRY IN THIS ONE, SORRY, BUT I HAVE TO GIVE MY REAL OPINION.|
|3/10/04 07:25:30 AM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Kent: One
of Ali's books---a paperback autobiography from the 70's---gave the story that
the computer picked Ali by decision.|

guy who was 49-0 with 43 knockouts,Jerry did fight better opposition,(no-GRAND
PA'S)Being a betting man and a SELF DEBRACATING STOOGE, if the match ever took
place, Hipathetically,I'm taking the odds and Quarry or Frazier,How this got
started,one of the Gents on the boxing circles said JERRY was not a puncher! I
Just have to beg to differ.I read an article that Liston just intimadated the
hell out of Marciano,and Rock working for some column or network,did not even
want to interview CHARLES!What about the monsters Quarry fought? The
LYLE'S,SHAVERS,FRAZIER'S,ALI'S,NORTON'S,FOSTER'S, SPENCER'S,
MATHIS,Chuvalo's.They only Boxers he really missed,where
Foreman,Bonavena,Bugner,and Bob Foster.And these guys obviously didn't want
