January 2002 - October 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

fight between him and Roy Jones would be a horrible mismatch because of the size
factor, but now I am not so sure.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|I agree about Merchant,(hasn't he made
enough money? does he have a pension? Him And Lampley and Kellerman have a NEW
team "STOOGES 2003" I take that back the stooges knew more about boxing!!Yes he
was rude to Lewis,but consider the source!Lennox handles himself with class at
least 90% of the time,thats a champion's trait,And a lot of NATURAL ability.I
HAVE SOME ARTICLES ON JQ MERCHANT WROTE: how he was too "IRISH" VS Frazier,in
69' And how he was worried for Chuvalo's safety! When he signed for JERRY
QUARRY!|

MAXIE KELLERMAN (CURLY).Kent I unfortunately live 3 miles from "MICKEY MANTLE
LAND!" not a slam to the Mick (JUST THE TOWN!)he was from back here,and a few
miles away,REDSKIN GREAT JOHN RIGGINS RAN THE 100 YARD DASH IN 9.8 SECONDS!(and
that was in HIGH SCHOOL).|

to agree with John that Lewis may be showing his age and should condsider
stepping down while he is on top. Yes, we Americans were happy when
Americans, Hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall beat Lewis, the only fighters to ever
beat him. The same way you like it that he is champion because you are from
England. Yes, he did win the rematches but the fact remains that two American
fighters beat him. |
|7/23/03 12:56:11 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|He lost to two Americans but he has
beaten 20 of them in his time. The most dominant Heavyweight of the last ten
years was from Britain. Hmmm..now just imagine that!|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|ON PAPER: Quarry would have to be a big
favorite,punchers really never bothered Jerry,Throw out "SMOKIN JOE!" and I do
not think JQ would have had much to worry about.Jerry defeated 8 top ten
fighter's and was ranked #1 Longer(4 months) than any other non-champion during
his career.Those guys had size and reach differance's and thats about it,if
we're discussing "WHITE BOYS" I'D pick Morrison over both Cooney or Bobick! WHY?
he beat better fighter's.|

with you about Lennox. In my opinion he'd have an excellant chance against any
heavyweight in history...his 2 loses were by 2 guys weighting about 240 and
hitting him flush on the jaw and one of them (the Mccall fight) he might have
even won if given the chance to continue and like a true champion, he totally
wiped the guys out in the rematches.About the Klitschko fight..he found a
way to win. Wiping a mans eye out like he did took a lot of punching power (what
difference does it make if u take the guy out by concusing the brain or cutting
an eye?) and i dont think he was on the verge of collapse either, hes fought
through those conditions a few times in the past.The man sure impresses me,
being 38 years old and still dominating the division.About Larry Merchant..
I think he tries to get an interesting interview from fighters but comes off as
insulting..as obnoxious as Howard Cosell could be at times he had a way of
approaching fighters and gettin good interviews from them.|
|7/24/03 04:08:23 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|The thing is with Merchant is that he
talks as if he is speaking for a whole nation. He is talking for America.
While I admire Lewis greatly - he grew up about 2 miles from where I live
and in the same town as I work now, I do not make him an all time top tenner! I
also rate Tyson above him. I remember when Lewis won the Gold Medal in 1988 I
was 13 years old. When he returned to England I remember running with him when
