TO ASK THE DECENT FOLKS THAT COME TO THIS SITE, THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PRESERVE
A POSITIVE MEMORY OF JQ'S LIFE AND CAREER, AND WHO ALSO WANT TO HELP FIGHTERS
WHO BECOME INJURED IN THE RING AND TO TRY AND MAKE BOXING AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE,
NEED TO IGNORE CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS.OFTEN WHEN NO ONE RESPONDS TO
GARBAGE, THE OFFENDERS GO AWAY.A LITTLE DEBATE ON ISSUES AND
DISAGREEMENT IS GOOD FOR THE SITE BUT CHEAP SHOTS AND NAME CALLING NEVER IS.|

your sentiments entirely. This is no place for profanities, so keep it clean
guys. G-Man, I've spent some time in the States as my father worked for IBM when
I was growing up. I met a big fat bald Italian guy involved in films in Vegas
and he was very interested in doing something on boxing. His name was Giancarlo.
Is that the guy you were referring to in your post?|

think that the colorful language and arguing back and forth would make things
interesting, but to the contrary, it gets boring really fast. Dialogue and
debate on the boxers is far better! Speaking of which, Riddick Bowe on a good
night could hold his own against some of yesterday's greats, but the problem is,
it would be tough for him to have that good night with Ali, Frazier, Foreman,
etc. bearing down on him. Tyson matches up well against Frazier but would lose
to Ali or Foreman. Lewis wouldn't have the toughness to stand in with these
guys---I think he would crumble if Foreman landed anything on him and I think
Ali would probably take every round against Lewis and end it with a TKO in the
middle to later rounds. As far as Larry Holmes goes, I consider him to be one
of the greats of the 70's class. He gets lumped in with Ali, Frazier, Foreman
and Norton and in my mind, could take everyone except maybe an in-prime Ali---
and might have trouble with Foreman.To the Quarrys---realize that most of
the people visiting have great respect for Jerry, Mike, James and the whole
bunch of you. We love the site and like the updates on what the foundation is
doing. Don't let the idiots get you down. |

that don't know, this site was started when Jerry Quarry became ill and later
died from damage he suffered in the ring and it is dedicated to his memory and
to also help other fighters who become injured in the ring. The Jerry Quarry
Foundation (TJQF) has worked to pass boxing leglistation here in the United
States to make the sport better and three major bills were signed into law in
part because of its efforts, including the Muhammed Ali Boxing Reform Act of I
believe, 2000. A fourth bill, one to form an national boxing commission
recently passed the U.S. senate.TJQF was CO founded by Jerry himself and
James (Mr. Jimmy) Quarry in 1995, who also passed away in 2002, and while Mr.
Jimmy didn't like censoreship here, both Jerry and he would not be happy with
some of the goings ons here lately. As I said before, this site is a
special site, not like any other. It is not a site for some goofballs to call
each other names and act childish. It is also a site that is visited regularly
by members of the Quarry family. Jerry's nieces Sonia and Sabrina pop in often
and Jerry's son Jonathan also comes here as does Jerry's sister Brenda. I have
also seen posts by Jerry's brother Bob and his sister Janet as well.IF
YOU CAN'T RESPECT OUR REQUEST TO TONE IT DOWN, THEN PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE ON
THE NET. IT IS A SHAME BUT OFTEN WHEN A SITE GETS OUT OF HAND, THE GOOD
POSTERS ARE THE ONES THAT LEAVE, NOT THE KNUCKLEHEADS. SO TO THE REGULARS,
PLEASE STAY! |
