subject.If you belief Charles could defeat both Quarry and Bob Foster,then that
would surely put him in amoung the top ten heavywieghts of all time.|
|7/6/02 06:30:00 PM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|I have Charles
and Quarry in the 15-25 range all-time heavies. As far as light-heavy the
Foster-Charles match would have been incredible. Foster would have been my
favorite. Charles peak heavyweight weight was about 188ish. He was never
really bigger than that until his last couple fights which should not even count
in evaluating him.|
|7/7/02 12:30:58 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I think Jerry
could have beaten Bob Foster. Foster never had much success against
heavyweights. It would have been a crowd favorte that could have been billed as
the Quarrys' revenge, for Foster knocking out Mike. While I think Jerry would
not beat Charles at heavyweight, I think Jerry could take the light heavyweight
version. I am basing my vote in he tourney on the Charles at heavyweight peak
of the Marciano fight. While Charles didn't have a long prime at heavyweight,
at this prime would have been a very tough task for Jerry.|

aol 3 times this morning so I'll make this quick. Thanks Jimmy. I notetced
they were wearing Flores gloves and that would point a finger to a West coast
fight. Charles over Quarry 6-5-1. Charles out-boxes Jerry but Jerry does hurt
Ez in the 6th and it looks like he's ready to go but Charles hangs on and comes
back strong in the 8th. Tucker-Holyfield. Evander does his usual workman like
job on Tony and takes a 8-4 decesion. Tucker starts and with a good hard jab
and combinations takes the first 2 rounds. Evander works the body trying to
slow him down. Holyfield lands a good headbutt in the 6th and again in the 9th
after he is hurt by a Tucker right. Tony spends the rest of the fight
protecting his very swollen left eye. |

|7/7/02 11:06:27 AM|Paul Drolet|Montreal||droplpaul@aol.com||||10|I would like
to extend my deepest condolences to the entire Quarry family on this sorrowful
day. As president and co-founder of TJQF, James made a an invaluable
contribution to the integrity of professional boxing. With an eye to chronicling
his brother Jerry's life and career in a biography, I flew out to Portland
several years ago and met James. Although the book project has been shelved
(for the time being at least), James was unfailingly supportive in my efforts.
My prayers are with all Quarrys in this their grieving hour. |

goes out to the Quarry family. Jim faced his battle with the courage and
diginity that showed the true meaning of the family motto of "there is no quit
in a Quarry" Mr. Jimmy, I will be drinking a toast to you tonight! You will not
be forgotten and your great work will continue! |

the passing of Jimmy Quarry--a stand-up guy and a worthy representative of his
family, always ready to fight for what he believed in.|
