January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Barrett, by the way, dropped Baby Joe with a left hook, JQ's best
punch.Mesi does have a good punch, and he has shown he has a lot of
heart, but do JQ's critics really think he hits harder than Earnie Shavers, Ron
Lyle, and Mac Foster? Three punchers who's power Jerry stood up to and
defeated.|

I want to thank Brenda and Kent for acknowledging that event. However, one
important question remains. Will the House pass a version of this bill that
immediately considers the major financiers of boxing events (the cable, pay per
view operators and casinos) as promoters and thus under the jurisdiction of the
boxing commission ? Both TJQF and the American Association for the Improvement
of Boxing have consistently promoted this position concerning S 275 and the
establishment of the commission. And here is the reason why. Without having
immediate authority over these media outlets and the casinos as promoters the
Commission as a federal agency would have little control over the major fights
or the boxing industry itself. I realize that this might be confusing so feel
free to contact me about these issues if you have any questions. Thanks for
allowing me to make these comments that I am sure would be supported by both
James and Jerry.|

how slow our government works, to to get anything passed is pretty good, be
proud of what you and others have done. This is just the beginning, and now that
something is down in writting it opens a door where before it was just a window.
It is just the start on the right road and not a dead end anymore. me|

like to encourage anyone from the U.S. who visits this site to write letters,
make telephone calls, or send E-mails, to their congressman from their district
and also to President Bush to ask that they support this bill in the form that
was passed by the senate.|

U.S.A.||jgschultz11@aol.com||||10|John McCain ( who should be President) has
been there for the recent passing bill, which I was very glad to read about.
Boxing has hope after all... I agree regarding Mesi, JQ would probably pound the
guy. JQ contended after just two or so years, Mesi has been messin around for
how long to this point? Who is Mesi's Floyd Patterson or Thad Spencer? I don't
see any for him. I'd like to see him fight Fres Oquendo, Chris Byrd or Kirk
Johnson. Then Buffalo can go back to following the Bills... Glad to see someone
else remember Max Schmelling again. Before politics and racism took over Joe
Louis, a clear-headed Schmelling owned him. Max was pretty bewildered the second
time they met, under better circumstances their rematch would not have been so
brutally one-sided. Given Louis's high-rank all-time, it says alot for
Schmelling, who probably ranks ahead of JQ, that would be a very good match... I
like James Toney myself, the guy definitely does fight and does back up the
bluster, which is more show than substance... ESPN Classic ran Jerry's two
fights with Ali again last night here, but also his first fight with Joe
Frazier, which was great to see again. While JQ's wins were discussed, it's his
efforts against these two in defeat that most seem to know about. Floyd
Patterson was quoted as saying Jerry gave just 35% of his effort against him,
and insinuated JQ was shortchanging himself by not trying harder. History, I
think, proved Floyd wrong. |

how just because a fighter is a white American and he wins some fights, even
against nobodies, he is the next white hope and compared to JQ. Sure Mesi fans
will say, "he destroyed DaVarryl Williamson," who also had a good record, but
all this shows is Mesi has a good enough punch to, at times, bail him out of his
shortcomingsPeople have no answer when I point out that JQ would likely
