January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

other losses, Eddie Machen got Jerry when Jerry was only 21 and Jerry would have
beaten him prime agaisnt prime and I don't believe that either Jimmy Ellis or
George Chuvalo could have beaten Jerry in rematches and he never should have
lost to them in the first place. |

agree on MR.TYSON, I'd say this is why we are boxing fans,(and i respect you as
one,believe me).How about this,similarities between "IRON MIKE". And the
"bellflower Bomber".WHEN JERRY,beat a top contender,all the sudden the guy was a
"BUM".And when JQ lost 4 BOUTS,He was termed a loser,a JUNIOR CHUVALO(no
disrespect to George). And the opposition TYSON LOST TO HIS FIRST 4 WERE NOT
ANY SUPERIOR TO THE FIRST 4 THAT BEAT JERRY.Tommy Morrison and tyson, have
identical records now,PRIME FOR PRIME AND POWER FOR POWER,i would have paid to
see that one.TYSON would have been at least 5 to 2 favorite,but i think it would
have been exciting,say what you say about Morrisons chin,he did have a wallop in
that hook,and intestional fortitude, maybe we can agree on that,TAKE CARE.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|One thing I do not get,(and i was there).
Is how JQ was treated in California,Here is a local, that has enough odds
against him anyway,And the media and boxing public treated him tacky,later in
his career NEW YORK took him in as there own. And it should have been that way
in CALIFORNIA,and I KNOW IT BOTHERED JQ.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|On they other hand EVREN: KENT and I
SUFFER from "STOOGEMANIA", and sometimes think JERRY was superhuman,and still
fighting somewhere."WATCH OUT,IT MIGHT BE A MACKERL?" KNUCK,KNUCK,KNUCK.|
|8/19/02 02:19:39 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I don't think
the people were down on Jerry here in Southern California, it is the press that
was down on him, not the people. There are still a lot of people in this area
who had and always will have a lot of respect and fondness for Jerry and the
Quarry family. OH, I SEE JIMMY DORSEY IS STILL BEING A WISE GUY! SHUT UP YA
LUNKHEAD! KNUCK!KNUCK! KNUCK! |

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|you are right KENT,Jerry was respected,by
the california people, i should have made it a little clearer on that,the media
chastised him, he was'nt to into the press there for a long time,and i did not
blame him one bit|

but I could see Louis outlasting him and battering him to defeat in the late
rounds.|

fighter. Oh yeah! He is a top ten great for sure. Untill he went to prison he
was the best heavy out there. His involvement with Don King and his thug like
actions outside boxing lead to his downfall. His own doing mind you, he made
those decsions by himself. The only fighters the "young" Tyson would have had
problems with were, of course Holyfield, Douglas and Bowe. His early fight with
Bonecrusher Smith showed he could be tied up and out-muscled by a big man. If
Smith had opened up earlier in the fight he may have hurt Mike. Was Smith and
the others intimadated by Tyson? Sure. But that wasn't Tyson's problem. Did he
take advantage of their emotional short comings. Yeah. So did Liston, Louis,
Foreman and Ali. Liston was a guy who beat up the contenders that Floyd
Patterson would not fight. He did nothing after he won the title, yet most
people rate him high as a Heavyweight Champion. Holmes wipes out a whole
