internet.Belated Happy New Year to all the regulars here and especially to James and the Quarry clan.| |2/5/02 11:07:53 AM|James Quarry|TJQF||boxerquarry@netscape.net||||10|We would like to opologize for any delays with video and T-shirt orders. The last 8 weeks have beencomplicated. At this point I have been told I have lung cancer. All kinds of test and treatment havebeen performed. Therefore, I have not been on the computer much and have been to sick to stay on top of things.Please remember the magazine has not been printed yet and the people who promised this have not kept thier word.Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Sincerely.| |2/7/02 03:57:59 PM|Evren|London||Evren@btinternet.com||||10|I am very very sorry to hear that James. It seems strange but my father was diagnosed with both lung and bowel cancer last week and my whole family are devestated and trying to deal with things in the best way for my parents. It is so important to keep positive and 'upbeat' through the hard times. The power of 'self belief' goes a long long way and I prey you will be fine. My dad has yet to start treatment but he is already negative and I am constantly trying to gee him up (putting on old fights). My thoughts are with you and I empathise with you and you family at this hard time. Best Wishes, Evren| |2/7/02 07:05:59 PM|Kent Appel|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|James, my hopes and prayers are with you and your family. You seem to me to be a kind and decent man and I wish you a safe and speedy recovery from your illness. I know you will take on this challenge with all that you have! After all, there is no quit in a Quarry!| |2/8/02 10:58:09 AM|Rufus Defibaugh|Fort Loramie, Ohio||rufusdefibaugh@hotmail.com||||9|Jerry Quarry should have been a worlds champion, if boxing didnt have tko's I very much believe Jerry Quarry would have slugged the whole 15 rounds of both matches he had with Muhammad Ali and possibly could have beat him Quarry was a tough guy.| |2/8/02 05:21:42 PM|JIMMY DORSEY|VENTURA CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|DID ANYONE SEE THE 32-MAN ALLTIME TORNAMENT ON HEAVYWEIGHTS.COM? IT HAD HOLMES STOPPING JQ WITH A SINGLE BODY PUNCH FOR THE TEN COUNT. THIS WASN"T MAXIE "PAD" KELLERMAN'S DOING,OR WAS IT? THE WHOLE BOUT, IT ALLEGEDLY WENT 7 JERRY WAS HURT BY BODY SHOTS FROM HOLMES, I WOULD SAY HOLMES COULD NOT HAVE KNOCKED JERRY OUT WITH A HOWITZER MUCH LESS, A SINGLE BODY SHOT AT 43 SECONDS OF THEY 7TH ROUND. IT WAS THEY 1969 JERRY QUARRY VS THEY 1979 LARRY HOLMES. I AM NOT SO SURE HOLMES WOULD HAVE EVEN WON.ALTHOUGH I WOULD HAVE MADE LARRY AT LEAST AN 7-5 FAVORITE. THEY "EASTON ASSASIN" WAS THEY MOST UNDERRATED CHAMPION OF ALLTIME. BUT JERRY ONLY HIT THE DECK 6 TIMES HIS ENTIRE CAREER, AND ONLY LOST IN TWO OF THOSE, THEY HARDEST BODYPUNCHER OF ALLTIME JOE FRAZIER COULD ONLY GET A 4 COUNT ON JERRY IN 1974 AND THAT DID NOT EVEN STOP THE FIGHT . AND THEY OTHER CHUVALO, COME ON , JERRY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP AND STOPPED GEORGE IN THEY 8TH, (instead of watching the clock). ONE OF THE 6 KNOCKDOWNS IN JERRY;S CAREER WAS A SLIP VS PATTERSON. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 100-1 ODDS JERRY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY A SINGLE BODY SHOT FRO HOLMES!| |2/9/02 11:02:35 AM|James Quarry|TJQF||boxerquarry@netscape.net||||10|Evren; This is a message for you dad. It would be real easy to be negative to my situation.If I did become negative then it woulf effect my whole family. Even though i may have cancer in the lungs,this doesn't mean the signing of my death certificate. John Wayne has lung cancer for 15 years. I must remain possitive.Not for me but my family. I do not intend to walk around feeling poor me. If it is the case that I must die. Then I will leave myfamily with only possitive thoughts with my family after I am gone. Please, if not for me, please stay possive for your family!!This part is for Jimmy Dorsey, There is no way that Holmes could have stopped Jerry with a body punch. Because of his style, it is quite possible that Larry could have a win over Jerry, but only by decission. Larry's style was a stick and move., like Ali. Love to all|
|2/9/02 12:56:13 PM|Kent Appel|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I happened to meet veteren corner man Chuck Bodak last night at a local fight card here in Southern California. I am sure that this man, who has worked with 56 world champions, has more boxing knowledge in his little finger than most of us will ever have. He said he knew the Quarry family well. Interesting thing he had to say about Muhammed Ali. He said, "Ali is the greatest human being I have ever met." Mr. Bodak, if you happen to read this, I was the guy you talked to in the parking lot after the fights when you were looking for your group. I agree that there is no way Jerry would ever be stopped by a body shot by Holmes. Holmes may have won by a decision or maybe even by cuts, but never by a body shot!| |2/13/02 10:31:15 AM|Evren|London||Evren@btinternet.com||||10|Thanks for your kind words James - things do get very difficult and people can only understand it when they go through it - which I wish on no living soul.Best WishesEvren| |2/13/02 11:32:30 PM|foolface|midwest||foolface@yahoo.com||||10|Mr. Quarry your a great guy, but you and your family have to much guts for your own good/ please don't let this guy kent take over/ i have a lot of respect for you/ otherwise i would have gone all out against some of the people that come to this site/ koo koo clock is a good guy/ he just wants to know the truth about things/ by the way i'm glad jerry knocked out THUG SPENCER HA HA HA HA HA :)))))))))| |2/14/02 10:59:22 PM|Sonia Hathaway(Quarry)|Joshua Tree, California||Sonia81@aol.com||||10|HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ALL! WE LOVE & MISS YOU UNCLE JERRY!| |2/15/02 12:09:37 PM|Kent Appel|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|So when are we going to start our all time tournament again? There is one going on over at the Frazier site but is not as much fun for me as ours was. One of the guys over there has a game that matches varibles of the contestants to determine a winner of a particular match but I like our way of voting for the winner better. | |2/15/02 02:27:34 PM|Evren|London||Evren@btinternet.com||||10|We'll start it soon - things are a bit pushed at the mo' but next week will be good if that is okay with everyone. Numbers and statistics are a bad way to pick winners in fights !!| |2/16/02 09:11:39 AM|Angelo|DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|James: Our prayers are with you. Best wishes for fighting this the way Jerry fought Shavers!As for Holmes vs. Jerry Quarry: My pick would be Holmes by hard fought decision orpossible TKO. Holmes' jab was deadly for opening cuts. Also, Holmes could take a hard punch and get up from a knockdown. I think this would have been a very competitiveand interesting fight. | |2/19/02 02:26:13 PM|Evren|London||Evren@btinternet.com||||10|Hi - we have 16 combatants left in the tournament - 8 to go through - I have all the results and will e-mail them to all of you when the first round is complete.Here we go then - In the first fight of the night we have from Louisville, Kentucky - Jimmy Ellis vs Swedens Ingemar Johannson - two former champions against one another seperated by only one era. Second bout of the night we have two former title challengers from the 70's - Philadelphia's Jimmy Young meets - Hungarian, British Aussie Joe Bugner - results by Friday please.Take CareEvren| |2/21/02 07:14:52 AM|Kent Appel|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I am picking Ellis by decision over Johanson and Young by decision over Bugner. In the Ellis/Johanson fight, Ellis' hand speed and boxing ability overcomes Ingo's only weapon a powerful right hand, which Ellis manages to avoid for most of the fight. In Young/Bugner, Young wins in a close fight on the basis of more punches landed. | |2/21/02 04:18:43 PM|john smith|tx||theone@hotmail.com||||9|cool| |2/22/02 05:26:38 PM|Evren|London||Evren@btinternet.com||||10|In a great battle I pick Ellis to score a late round Ko over the Swede but not before being decked
