January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

ef decided that fight and not the fighters. The fight's outcome does not
represent this matchup at all. Chuvalo could beat Jerry on a given night, but
Jerry was better as the early moments showed. Weird outcomes in boxing?
Unthinkable. Jerry was better than Oscar Bonavena also, but the same thing could
happen there as well... Massimo had a good comment on Lennox Lewis-JQ. Lewis had
the so-so chin, but great size and real skills. Jerry would really bother him
early and would have his real chances in this dreamfight, but Quarry had
problems against tall boxers, as Ali, Norton, Ellis even Alongi showed. Lewis by
decision... The younger Klitschko's loss to Brewster is being investigated,
might be more than smoke there. This was a mismatch, Klitschko was well ahead,
then the guy just collapses? I still don't believe it... Just wanted to add my
name to those being really impressed with and saddened by the commitment and
passing of pro footballer Patrick Tillman, what a waste... I haven't heard from
the Golota detractors since his solid showing versus Byrd, are some of you
rethinking the big guy from Poland? And, can Mike Tyson make the big comeback in
the division as it currently sits? |

get my e-mail problem solved,I will contact you about researching old microfilm
on Jerry.Does anyone remember the outcome of a fight,when officially
disputed,ever being overturned? When a fighter takes an standing eight count,the
ref.whipes of his gloves on his shirt,tells him to put his hand up,looks in his
eyes,and asks him if he wants to continue.This whole process must give the
fighter an additional five or six seconds to recover.I'm not saying it's wrong,I
agree with it.I't just makes the idea of taking a knee ,and risking a short
count,even more bewildering. |

last post.I didn't mean to say when a fighter take a standing eight count,I
meant to say when he's been knocked down,and get right up,he still gets
basically the same treatment by the ref.,and hence the same few precious extra
moments of recovery time. |

Chuvalo fight, for 35 years everytime that fight is mentioned as a loss it seems
like an explanation of what happened is required. Jerry was killin him but I
don't remember him being tired that is interesting, I haven't seen the fight in
35 years. As Far as Jerry beating Taller fighters what about Ron Lyle and Mac
Foster. He was a giant Killer thats why all the talk of him being able to do the
same magic on Foreman.......|

He was the only fighter with a 100 ko percentuale ( I don't know
percentuale in English, maybe rate). I think he won 30 fights scoring 30
knockouts. How good was him ? Was he one of the hardest punchers ever ?I
know he beat Cleveland " Small Dog " Williams twice, but Cleveland was over the
hillat the time. Was Quarry-Mac Foster an exciting fight ? Thanks.|

great part about rehashing old discussions.No matter what the critics say.As I
understood it,Jerry fought Ellis with a cracked or broken vertabrae in his
back.I to was dissapointed with his performance.I was alot more dissapointed
years later,when I learned on this site that he would risk a Title fight by
climbing into the ring with a broken back.|

feline"Williams was the hardest puncher of the late fifties'except for Sonny
Liston.His career may have been hampered by the fact that he received a severe
gunshot wound to the abdomen in an altercation with a policeman.I think Mac
Foster was 30 and 0,all ko's,when he met Quarry.He didn't seem that much bigger
than Quarry.He was a standup,little upperbody movement boxer.He had tremendous
power in all the conventional weapons he used.If he hadn,t run into Quarry ,he
might have gone 35 and 0.Unfortunatly for him ,Jerry was at his best that
