January 2002 - October 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

his own division, but has he ever chanced an arm by fighting against the odds ?
Not yet anyway. And for guts and perserverence, the Quarrys deserve to rule.

FRAZIER VS. TYSON? Personally I think Tyson had superior physical gifts such as
power and speed but Joe had more heart, determination and stamina. I think Joe
would have gutted him in 9 rounds. |

Tyson is certainly a dream fight, but I'm probably one of those who believe that
Frazier would win out of favouritism for the ex-champ. As long as Tyson didn't
catch Frazier early, Joe would slowly wear him down and knock him out between
the 10th and 12th rounds. I think it's important to remember that whilst Tyson
was at his awesome peak for three years and beat only a couple of very good
fighters (and none for 14 years since Spinks!!, although Ruddock proved himself
in both their fights), Frazier was doing the same seven years and beat a longer
list of competitors|

what the varied and interesting mix of opinions are from our regular
contributers on this website.I'd like opinions on the outcomes of the following
matchups.Billy Conn vs Roy Jones ,Harold Johnson vs Roy Jones,Bob Foster vs
Roy,and ,how about Jerry Quarry vs Roy Jones or Jerry vs Bob Foster? Hey , it's
all just conjecture and fun,right? |
|11/26/02 05:54:24 PM|Gerry Schultz|Ohio||jgschultz@firstam.com||||9|I always
thought Bob Foster vs. Jerry would've been a natural match, given Mike's fight
with him.Bob was very good, but there's a reason why boxing has weight classes.
As close as it might be early, Jerry would've thrown some heavyweight cheese at
him and wore Bob down. Conn was a better boxer than Louis, a huge compliment. |
|11/26/02 08:12:22 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|I think Jerry would
have clobbered Foster. Foster had that long lean body Jerry would have feasted
on. Don't forget what Frazier did to Foster. Jerry was more of a counter
puncher than Joe so the fight would have probably gone more than a round and a
half, but Jerry would have KO'ed him. As for Roy Jones, Jones over Foster over
12 rounds, I think Billy Conn would have a good chance to beat Jones. They
match up size wise and Conn was very strong, though not quite the puncher Jones
is, he still managed to hurt Joe Louis. I'd also have to give Archie Moore the
benefit of the doubt. There wasn't much you could put over on the 'Ol Mongoose.
A couple of other guys I think would give Roy an evenings worth of trouble Joey
Maxim and Jose Torres.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I AGREE JERRY SHOULD HAVE BEATEN FOSTER,
BOB NEVER BEAT A HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER, I SAW THEM BOTH ON THE "SUPER STARS
COMPETETION, THE ONE BEFORE 1975, WHERE JERRY EARNED ENOUGH POINTS TO BE INVITED
BACK,AND BOB ACTED A LITTLE SCARED OF JERRY,OF COURSE QUARRY WAS ALL BUSINESS
THAT FIRST COMPETETION,I'M SURE THERE WERE GUYS THAT COULD HAVE BEATEN JERRY
THAT WE QUARRY FANS, THINK WOULD'NT HAVE, AND GUYS JERRY WOULD HAVE KO'D THAT
WOULDN'T HAVE ADDED UP!FOR BOXING IS A BATTLE OF STYLE'S, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
SURPRISED IF JERRY COULD HAVE BEATEN BOTH ALI AND FRAZIER IN A STREET FIGHT!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL|

Dorsey,aah,so glad you brought the subject up.Ali would not have done any better
than any other 6 ft 3 in. 210 lb ,super fast guy with the courage to fight in
the street.I think Quarry and Frazier would have probably killed someone in a
street fight fairly early in their career and been sentenced to prison .|
