and shame don't seem to mean much in the world of boxing.I still can't get over<br />
feeling sick every time I see the absolutely inexcusible lapses in prof.conduct<br />
by the referees in the two <strong>Quarry</strong> vs Frazier fights, and the <strong>Quarry</strong> vs Norton<br />
fights.<strong>The</strong> amount of damage he suffered in the last rounds of those three fights<br />
was horrible.To have a drug addled Joe Lewis as a referee in any fight, defies<br />
logic.|<br />

thanks for your insightful comments. <strong>The</strong> only way you can prevent these things<br />
from happenning is by abolishing boxing. We must also remember how many brains<br />
did <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> damage with his powerful fists, quite a few I am sure. Where<br />
is the sorrow for <strong>Quarry</strong>'s victims? I have yet to see that written on this<br />
site. How many people did <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> permanently injure and maim,Thad<br />
Spencer, Floyd Patterson, Mac Foster, Brian London... Was it really necessary<br />
to remind people of Joe Louis's drug problem. <strong>Jerry</strong> and Mike <strong>Quarry</strong> both had<br />
cocaine and alcohol addictions. That certainly contributed to their<br />
impairments. Folks lets not forget <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> has the blood of a lot of boxing<br />
victims on his fists |<br />

obviously you are new to this site as one of the main purposes of it is to bring<br />
awarness to the terrible tradegy of fighters being injured from their days in<br />
the ring. With the help of Geoge Otto and James <strong>Quarry</strong>, the <strong>Quarry</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
helped pass legislation here in the United States to make boxing safer and for<br />
betterment of the sport including, the Reciprocity act and the Muhammad Ali<br />
reform act. Sure there is more work to be done and short of banning boxing,<br />
which we don't support, there are still going to be fighters injured in the<br />
ring. What we can do is make the sport as safe as possible. So Forest, instead<br />
of being critical, what are some measures we can take to help us achieve our<br />
goal? Sure there are fighters that were injured by the powerful fists of <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
<strong>Quarry</strong> but the point you miss is that not one person who has ever visited this<br />
site, let alone the many fine fans of the <strong>Quarry</strong>s as well as members of the<br />
<strong>Quarry</strong> family who visit here, supports any fighter being injured. Yes, there<br />
are inhearant dangers in the sport but I will say again, we can work to limit<br />
those dangers as much as possible. |<br />

20-40-1.I'M LACKING 5 BUT OF THOSE QUARRY WAS AT LEAST OUTWEIGHED 3 0F 5 I<br />
KNOW.ANYWAY BOY WAS HIS CAREER INTERESTING,EVEN THE BOUTS YOU NEVER HEARD OF<br />
HAD A LOTTA INTEREST IN THEM. FOREST WARD, ARE YOU THE HEAVYWEIGHT, THAT FOUGHT<br />
FOREMAN ON TIMES SQUARE??, JUST A LITTLE CURIOUS|<br />

saddened to hear about Mike's health problems,it seems like no good luck has<br />
visited this strong,deserving clan lately.From thier posts,they seem to be a<br />
family of strong faith.This will bring them through anything! Kent,I think my<br />
comments where misunderstood by Forest Ward.I love the sport of Boxing!While I<br />
agree with you ,Kent,that being critical of the sport without suggesting any<br />
solutions helps no one. I stand by my criticism of the referees in the Frazier<br />
and Norton vs <strong>Quarry</strong> fights.I felt it certainly was necessary to remind people<br />
of Joe's drug addiction.He was put in a position of grave responsibility,where ,<br />
literally,the fighter's lives were at stake!In this instance,that life was <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
<strong>Quarry</strong>'s! Joe was clearly befuddled,confused,and not really sure what to do !He<br />
continued to wave <strong>Quarry</strong> in after he'd absorbed many powerful,unanswered blows.I<br />
think the first and most obvious steps that can be taken would be to demand from<br />
our Congressional leaders and Senators that a Federally controlled boxing<br />
commission be set up.Now by that I mean a legitimate organization,manned by<br />
people who have nothing to do with the sport personally.That is, they have no<br />
conflicting interest. Second,get serious about eliminating the criminal elemints
