January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

night.Jerry took some heavy shots in the middle rounds,but when he finally got
to Foster,I think it was one of his most sensational knockouts.Jerry was a great
finisher. |

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|As Ward said,About seeing Quarry's
entourage, LEAVING after the MSG bout with Chuvalo,How would you like to see
those guys in a dark alley? "PARDON ME GENLTEMAN,I WAS JUST GETTING THIS
NEWSPAPER!" I Have to agree about Lombardi,Great coach, I think he was
motivating his players in his concentration camp,Bart Starr QUATERBACKING 5
World Titles in 7 years will never be equaled, right Joe Montana? I've seen
people have even more courage in battles,for they knew there gas tank was low,
and had to make things GO quick! Actually All the time in L.A.|

in Nam?It sounds like you might be a fellow vet.I apologize if you think I
desrespected Vince Lombardi .I still have to maintain my position,you can only
get to a point of fatigue and dehydration,and your body will fail you! It has
nothing to do with courage. |

topics wouldn't keep coming up over and over if no one was interested in
commenting further. RE: Golata...I'm not one of his detractors, except to
say that his inconsistency bothers me too much to put him in the "very good"
category, much less call him a great. But his two bouts with the very talented
Riddick Bowe showed me that he can fight with the best of them. I always
believed that Riddick Bowe would take Lennox Lewis back when they were both at
the top of their game. But the common opponent, Golata, makes me wonder now.
How could Golata take all the punishment from Bowe and heap more punishment of
his own on Bowe, then go in against Lewis and crumble? Was it Golata being that
bad or Lewis being that good? I've wondered the same thing about Buster
Douglas. Douglas fought an almost technically perfect fight against Tyson, then
crumbled against Holyfield. Was Douglas that bad or Holyfield that good? To
me, Douglas could have been a dominating fighter for a long time if he loved
training and had the drive to be the best. Physically, he was very gifted.
Sometimes, he made it look easy. |

Steve, I know you did not disrespect Lombardi,I AGREE being out of shape or
winded does not necessarily mean anyone's a coward,I think Lombardi used it to
motivate his training camp,they did win everything|
|5/9/04 06:18:54 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Speaking of an
entourage coming in all pumped up full of postive energy and then leaving after
a fight all deflated, I was at the Vernon Forrest verses Ricardo Mayorga
welterweight title fight about a year and a half ago in which Forrest, a five to
one favorite, was knocked out in the second round by Mayorga.Forrest had
a couple of rap guys coming down the aisle with him doing their thing to a loud
rap beat. I happened to be standing right next to the entourage when they left
the dressing room area and just before they left to go to the ring, I said to
one of the rappers, a big heavyset black man, who is probably someone well known
in field, even if I don't know who he is, "are you ready?" He responded with a
hard "high five" to me and a loud, "Yeah!"A whole different ball game
after the fight when the group headed back to the dressing room area with their
heads hanging low after their fighter, Forrest lost a fight almost everyone
thought he would win. It was one of the saddest scenes I have seen in a long
time.|
