January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

year. The other guy - Even B - wrote interesting posts. I enjoyed them (even
though some of it was to see whether he got a reaction, like he did with
Steve). Even B's posts were challenging, fun to read, and
intelligent.Massimo, your English is very good. So is your knowledge of
boxing. You mention seeing these ancient fights, etc. Where do you get the
videos from ? How do you find the time (what with you being the new Galileo at
work). Alex P. Keaton, I assume that to write "to chase someone away" is
grammatically incorrect by creating a new English verb (as you wrote). Sorry,
but how is it incorrect ? I write English by 'ear' (whether it sounds right)
rather than through formal education on it. I left school 30 years ago and have
forgotten all the grammer rules. Cheers.I don't think anyone needs to
make excuses for Jerry Quarry. If you look at the era he fought in - Ali,
Frazier, Ellis, Patterson, et al -it was probably the most competitive ever. In
my view, just being a contender in that era was more meritorious than holding
some of the modern day championship belts. If Quarry arrived on the scene any
time over the last 15 years, how many titles would he have won (especially since
there is cruiserweight for him as well) ? How many of today's guys would have
done better than Jerry if you put them back in his era ? Not many. Only
Holyfield, Tyson and Lewis, in my opinion. It can never be doubted that Quarry
always tried his hardest, although his tactics (for example, once against
Frazier) let him down. I can't recall him ever dodging or dogging a fight. He
never took a dive. Never made excuses for a loss. Never blamed the referee.
Never bashed motorists or grocers, either. I think his reputation can rest on
its laurels.By the way, did you hear about the terrorist who hijacked a
plane load of lawyers. He threatened to release one every hour unless paid a
million bucks. |

of these fights, once in a while. I didn't mean that " to chase someone away "
is grammatically incorrect !I just meant that that was the first time I met
the verb " to chase'. I had to open my dictionary to understand what you were
saying.Jimmy-Thanks for the informations.Bob-Thanks for
the informations.|

you and Alex P. Keaton are one of the same person. I thought you were different
guys. No worries, anyway. I get pay television here, but apart from live boxing
occasionally, it rarely shows fights from the past, although it did have a
really informative documentary recently on Charles 'Sonny' Liston. |

was sad the way The Undertaker buried his former manager and his half brother
Kane's father, Paul Bearer, alive. Can the evil one ever be stopped? Rest in
Peace Paul Bearer! BONG! BONG! BONG! |

Loving Memory James Quarry 7-7-2002I am home in heaven, dear ones. Oh,
so happy and so bright! There is a perfect joy and beauty In the everlasting
light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed: I am now
at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last. There is work still waiting for
you, So you must not idly stand, Do it now, while life remaineth- You shall rest
in God's own land. When that work is all completed. He will gently call you
home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting Oh, the joy to see you come! 2 years
today, and we still miss you.|

nut * ! He should be stopped as soon as possible ! He just can't keep burieng
people alive ! It ain't a polite behaviour ! I hope he and his brother Kane are
going to get along, how should be among ( or between ) brothers ! Kane seems
such a kind and reasonable guy !* He is a nut is slang. It just means "
he is crazy ".|
