January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

very missed. He was our friend and he added a lot to our goings on around here.
I can't believe it can possibly be two years he has been gone. Time flies,
whether we like it or not.|

has been the same. We've all been lost just doing what we have to do to get
through life. I know I am not the same, its been a rough 2 yrs. I or I should
say we(his family) all love & miss him so very much, it hurts. I am glad he was
my Father, things were not always easy, but we all loved each other and got
through the rough times. I LOVE YOU DAD! MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH!|

found so far, it is ten times easier to find a video on Jerry than a simple
picture / image. I've tried hard and have just a dozen that are any good. THIS
SITE NEEDS A PHOTO GALLERY. Any of you regular posters please advise me on this
subject. Thanks. |

size)||4||||10|Da Preem has won the " Italians in the wordlAward ". Primo
Carnera's daughter Giovanna Maria Carnera will pick up the award. Nino Benvenuti
called Primo "the greatest Italian fighter " of the 900s. I thinkthat Nino
was a little out of his mind when he said that, probably drunk. I mean, the
Carnera who knocked out cold Sharkey ( who doesn't believe that that knock out
was for real should just look at Sharkey's eyes soon after the punch landed )
and easily outpointed a masterful boxer like Tommy Loughran or creamed a rising
prospect like Walter Neusel ( they called him the new Max Schmeling ) was a very
good heavyweight but... No way Carnera was the greatest Italian fighter ! No way
in hell (slang).Duilio Loi, Bruno Arcari, Nino Benvenuti himself and
probably even Erminio Spalla were better than him. On 18 July 2004 will be
inaugurated in Sequals a Museum dedicated to the memory of the Italian midget.
You are all invited in Sequals in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in North-Est
Italy.An experience-Today, in the bus, a child of about 1 years
old of age, wanted to shake hands with me. Boy, his little hand just disappeared
in my own hand !For a moment in my life I felt like Andre'.What a
strange sensation ! What a strange emotion ! An emotion to share with you
friends!|

"Big Hands" Massimo! Well, you talk about shoe size, but what about hand size?
Johnny Bench (famous hall of fame baseball catcher) has HUGE hands! I think he
once held seven baseballs in his hand (no, not a balancing act---he just scooped
them up and could hold them. I wonder if boxers' fist size (which is part of
the tale of the tape) is an important factor? |

was a pretty good fighter in an era that was full of good middles.|

even Mr. Jimmy himself, got a kick out of the Moe thing, He was one class act
who will always be missed,The man always made time for you,whatever he was
doing,Mike was that way, and Arwanda was also extremely pleasant,of Boxing
Kent,They most worthless stat of JQ'S career is KO vs TKO.Its like 19-TKO TO 11-
1O Count Ko for Quarry 2 undetermind. Zanon,Guerra,Borden,Manley, and they
UNBEATEN NO.1 contender Mac Foster all would not have beaten the 10 count vs
Jerry. And there was nothing technical about them. I think the statistic was
made for Ali. its also 66-7 Jerry's knockdown vs opponent so far.So at least
Quarry averages scoring a knockdown in every bout he had.His decision scoring to
me was interesting 10-point must, and 5 point must systems, one Engaland
