January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

-- and NOTHING else. Jerry would have KO'd him in four or five. Granted, Cooney
looked good in his loosing effort againt Holmes, but if Holmes at not been so
overly careful, he could have ended it in the second round -- Jerry would have.
Don't get me wrong, I picked Foreman over Jerry, but there is NO COMPARISON
between Cooney and Quarry. |

terrible match-up for Cooney. Cooney would hit Jerry and Jerry would smile a
little and Cooney would say oh .... and crumble shortly thereafter. I say
Quarry in about 5 thinking that Jerry would play with him a couple rounds.
Cooney was not a bad fighter, but this isn't the right match-up for him at all!|

have Ken Norton's book and in it, he never says Jerry was a racist. He may have
been qouted saying this in another source, but in his book, while he does say
that he and Jerry did not like each other, he never brings up the race issue
regarding Jerry. In fact, he praises Jerry for being a very game fighter and
for fighting his heart out until their fight was stopped. Norton also says that
all of his bad feelings for Jerry went away after he and Jerry hugged after the
fight. |

some issues,i think they 1969-1970 QUARRY COULD'VE HANDLED THEM DIFFERANTLY,
also heard Jerry kayoed Norton in training,I wished Bonavena would have went
ahead with his bout with Norton,QUARRY was a replacement,if you can fathom that,
and only had a few weeks of training,regarless, man i wished that would have
been JQ's last and final bout,no more sparring or nothing,i also heard they used
to give JERRY and BOBBY THE KEYS TO stronbow stadium,In Bakersfield and they
hammered on each other sparring thru out BOBBY's career,i'm sure that never
helped Jerry's eventual condition!! Does anyone have any old BOXING
ILLUSTRATED'S from 1965-75??|
|10/30/02 08:18:50 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|I'd have to go with
Jerry over Cooney. Gerry never impressed me at all even in the Holmes fight.
As mentioned before, Larry could have taken him out earlier if he turned up the
pressure. Jerry was a far better boxer than Cooney and would have hammered him.
And Big George would have batterd Jerry. Jerry was faster and would have hurt
George but I don't think Jerry could have put a series of hard combinations
together to put George away. Foreman was just too strong and he could take one
hell of a wallop. On another topic, if Roy Jones fights Ruiz, who do you think
will win. I know Jones could beat Jirov and don't know why he won't fight
him...Money? Anyway, I think Jones has a good shot vs Ruiz. What do you think
boxing fans? I have some old Ring mags going back to 68'-69' somewhere, when I
find them I'll post where Jerry was rated. |

RUIZ: I wonder what round Ruiz is going to clutch his groin, fall down, and
complain of a low punch. I think doing that is an official part of his
training.|

Ruiz is an interesting match up. A good big man verses a great smaller man. I
am not sure who will win. It is kind of a test to see if some of the smaller
great heavyweights of the past could have handled a big heavyweight from today.
Jones should come in at about 185 pounds and he is strong for his size, but can
he hurt the 235 pound Ruiz? Another question, is Jones going to be too fast for
Ruiz? Will Ruiz be able to land effectively? Like I said, I just don't know who
is going to win this one. The bigger question is if the fight will come off at
all. I have my doubts about this. |
