fighter. He beat Hoyfield twice, being the only man to knock out him out in his<br />
career, and in their first fight, the best since Holmes-Norton and the years<br />
following, outboxed a very courageous Holyfield to a comprehensive decision.<br />
Although his reign was short, he continued to beat handily a number of decent<br />
fighters, but will always be remembered for the fights against Holyfield.His<br />
decision not to fight Lewis was disastrous for both men as it undermined each<br />
other's claim to be fighter of the 90s. Although deemed to be cowardice on his<br />
parts, the punishment he took from Golota, particularly in the second fight in<br />
which he staged great comeback rallies and some of the most devastating shots I<br />
have ever seen, show that he had a heart as good as anyone. It was just in his<br />
mind, and advice from others and the behaviour of his entourage that made him<br />
look like a thug. In reality, even during his horrendous period of growing up,<br />
he was acknowledged to be a decent and funny man. I sincerely hope that he pulls<br />
through this nightmare, one of many that boxers go through, and comes out ok.|<br />

Mark, we have concern for what Riddick Bowe is going through. I was not aware of<br />
the latest trouble he is in. He was a great champion, one of the best of all<br />
time, and I wish him the best for his life. |<br />

Archives dating back to the early days of the web site in 1998, up through 2001.<br />
See the links above. As some of you know, many letters and messages were lost<br />
due to ISP serves failures. I saved as many as I could and archived them<br />
according to each individual year. <strong>The</strong>re's some great history here, from fans,<br />
critics, friends, family and wonderful Mr. Jimmy himself. <strong>The</strong>re's also George<br />
Foreman's gracious visit in 2000. <strong>The</strong> information contained in these letters is<br />
public record, but <strong>The</strong> <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> owns the letters themselves and<br />
their content. Thanks, --Carl|<br />

LAMOTTA, ALL HAVE IN COMMON? ANSWER: THEY BEAT WOMAN! AND YOU GUYS FEEL<br />
SYMPATHY FOR RIDDICK BOWE. WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS? IS THERE ANY SYMPATHY FOR<br />
BOWES WIFE, THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN? PLEASE REMEMBER FOLKS, I DIDN'T START<br />
THIS ONE. MARK FEELS SORRY FOR RIDDICK BOWE, AND KENT AGREES. I FEEL LIKE<br />
VOMITTING|<br />

wasn't aware that Bowe beat his wife. As you know, if that is what he is in<br />
trouble for now, I said I didn't know the circumstances of what he did. Yes,<br />
beating one's spouse is a terrible thing but to stereotype boxers as being more<br />
likely to do this is just streching the truth. Are there some boxers who do<br />
this, of course there are however, it is a problem that rears its ugly head in<br />
all professions, social economic status, and race. All in all, I would bet my<br />
bottom dollar that the overwhemling majority of boxers do not beat their<br />
spouces. CARL, YOU BROUGHT THAT STUFF BACK?! OH MY GOD! I AM GOING TO GET A<br />
BELLY LAUGH OUT OF A LOT OF THAT STUFF. |<br />
|1/29/03 04:20:44 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|Forrest. You seem anti everything<br />
boxing. Why do you have an interest in this site? You seem to like shooting<br />
everyone down in flames.|<br />

HAVE AN INTEREST IN THIS SITE BECAUSE I AM A JERRY AND MIKE QUARRY ADMIRER, AND<br />
BECAUSE I AM A BOXING HISTORIAN.THOSE RECENT REMARKS BY MARK AND KENT ABOUT<br />
FEELING SORRY FOR RIDDICK BOWE BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO PRISON;IGNORE THE FACT<br />
THAT HE IS GOING TO PRISON FOR COMMITTING A VIOLENT CRIME AND BEING FOUND<br />
GUILTY. AND THIS IS NOT THE 1ST TIME HE HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF A VIOLENT CRIME<br />
AGAINST A WOMAN. BUT BECAUSE OF HIS CELEBRITY STATUS HE IS GIVEN A FREE PASS TO<br />
GO OUT AND COMMITT MORE VIOLENT CRIMES, AND PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD FEEL SORRY FOR<br />
HIM, AND NOT A WORD IS MENTIONED ABOUT HIS VICTIMS. EVREN, I WILL ASK YOU, WHAT<br />
DOES FEELING SORRY FOR RIDDICK BOWE A FEMALE PREDATOR HAVE TO DO WITH THIS SITE?
