January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

payday before that happens. I would sigh for Tyson and at least make a few
million while being exposed. If JQ and Messi ever met in their prime, you would
not need a referee, you would need a priest.|

same sentence as.....Jerry Compare him to Scott Ledoux or Tex Cobb. I think
he has some skills and talent but at 30 he still hasn't beaten anyone yet. He
reminds me of Duane Bobick but not as good an amatuer as Bobick was. He has no
chin. No big punch and can't box that good. Jerry may have been white but he
fought like all of the great fighters fought and he fought against the great
black fighters won most lost a few. Jerry was a great fighter plain and simple
white or Black.|

comparisons concerning Mesi. Ledoux, Cobb, and Bobick while good fighters, were
all limited and were exposed as such at the higher levels of the sport. Ledoux
and Cobb could take a good punch while Mesi appears closer to Bobick in that
regard.One thing I am impressed by Mesi is he has something you can't
teach and that is, he has a lot of heart. He got off of the canvas in both the
Barrett and Jirov fights to hold on to wins, even if barely in both
cases.Personally, I thought the Barrett fight should have been scored a
draw and the Jirov decision was correct as Jirov only won three rounds, the
first, the ninth and the tenth. So even with 10 to 8 and 10 to 7 round scores
in nine and ten, the Mesi/Jirov decision was fair.Monte Barrett appears
to be a spoiler in his tough appearence against Mesi and also in his recent
upset win over Dominic Guinn, another up and coming heavyweight who was being
billed as a world beater. It seems now that a lot of the people who handle good
prospects may now stay away from Mr. Barrett.|

think Jerry quarry would have done against Sam Langford? Both were excellent
fighters neither won championships|
|4/5/04 11:37:02 AM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|OLDTIMER: its hard
to evaluate Langford. Old time films really don't do him justice and no doubt
Sam had to fight "with handcuffs on" just to get a payday sometimes. Jack
Dempsey called him the best fighter he ever saw and as a very young kid, refused
to fight him. He admitted that even at his best he might not have been able to
handle Sam. And Jerry, was about as rough, rugged, and fearless as they come.
Would have been a good fight.|

with the likes of Quarry,Jerry just got used up like they did 90% of the
fighter's in L.A. And would have been a prototypical Crusierweight and probably
dominated the division.Foreman could beat Mesi right now!Bobick was sort of a
mystery. I'm sure Tommy Morrison would have ko'd him.Bugner's lack of
agression,and punch. Would have been a little costly vs Duane,But i've never
been into looking for a White Hope anyway. (THERE GOOD FOR THE GATE I GUESS).|

Langford and Dempseys era would have had trouble with the science that developed
over the next 50 years when we were in the golden era of heavyweight boxing.
Dempsey may have ducked Langford but Jerry wouldn't have. Jerry by a knock out
over Langford toooo much skill power and finess. Bobick was a very
good fighter and had potential but too many gym wars at smokin Joe's ruined
him.He was National AAU champ and Olympic Representative beat Larry holmes
and other good fighters in amatuers. |

to Joe's stable to me was a mistake,they even had him boring in and crouching
like SMOKIN JOE, with a reach of 82 inches and 6'3" Bobick did not have to fight
like Frazier,And we all saw the results,yes Fran I remember his gym wars, if you
