January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

have divisions and rules. It would be unfair to have a two armed guy with only
one leg fighting a one armed guy with two legs. It would have to be identical
disability versus identical disability.Problem is that say someone like
John Kerry wants to fight, you'd have to find someone with a quarter brain or
less to oppose him. We'd have to go trawling the whacko houses to find him a
suitable opponent.Perhaps Kerry already found his equal opponent. I see
in the news today that he's been out hunting and he shot himself a goose. I'd
say that's an equal contest.Only joking :))))) |

couldn't last the distance. |

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Thanks Gerry for the kind words, i'll
send you an update everytime I do one, what I wanted and did achive was how
Jerry was ranked going into the bout, and if his opponent was ranked (Ring
magazine) the weights,dates, scores of decisions, Tko vs Ko (which did not mean
much with Jerry for about a dozen of his TKO'S WERE kayo's. Foster,Zanon,Borden
etc.In other words I wanted to make It where you just did not look at a record
like just wins and losse's. but rather READ his record with the hard core stats,
I wished I could make it a full time job on the internet, with as many fighter's
as I could do,Also I would have my money on Jerry vs Bob Foster, Foster was like
0-8 vs the heavys and 1-1 vs Bob Hazelton, whom by the way lost his legs due to
steriod use and not Jack "the Giant" O'HALLORAN THAT SOME ONE HAD MENTIONED.|

Jerry was around 6'0" as I met him and I seemed to be about as tall as him and I
am about 511", so I was in the ballpark. Mike Quarry seems slightly taller
than me as does Bob Quarry, who along with Mr. Jimmy is about 6'1." One thing
about the Quarry brothers is they seem to with the exception of Jerry, stand
straight up all of the time, they have good posture. Mike is probably the same
height as me but he stands straight and I don't. Jerry likely could have been
the one who was slightly taller than me but like me, he didn't stand up
straight, or so it seemed to me.Jerry was not like Joe Frazier or Mike
Tyson who while listed at 5'11 1/2" are actually shorter. Jerry was close to
what he was listed at, like I said, about 6'0"|
|10/23/04 02:55:57 PM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Kent-I have good memory and
I remembered that you met JQ several times and all the rest, I was only joking
around. JQ was slightly wilter than Joe Frazier so I think somewhere between
5'11" and 6'. I have seen yesterday on ESPN Classic a special about (or on)
Shaq's life and Shaq has to dip to get through a door. The guy is no bluff, the
guy is really wilt. Shaquille " The Big Dipper" O'Neal.|

reading recent postings to this Website, it would appear that even the
"regulars" are unaware that Jerry Quarry's beautiful sister Brenda died of a
sudden and unexpected heart attack about one week ago. She was a beautiful
person in every way--always very proud of and supportive of her fighting
brothers. I do believe that expressions of condolence to the Quarry family
should be the "order of the day" on this Website at this most stressful time.|

Bill for reminding us that the tragic loss of Brenda Quarry has occured but if
you go back to the most recent archive, as the letters' page only shows the last
25 letters posted, that several of us did offer condolances to Brenda's passing
and I hope your reminder will offer a chance for others to do the same.
Brenda's passing is a loss that cannot be replaced. The Quarry family,
her friends, this site, and the world itself is less without her. |

everyone who visits this place will recognize how many tragedies the Quarry
family has experienced in such rapid succession. It surely is very,
very tough, but Quarrys, please accept our prayers and condolences and try to
