thought for some time that JQ would make a great book, because his life, I<br />
think, has some compelling conflicts:, boxing gloves on at such a young age, the<br />
makeup and attitudes of his family, how he dealt with early success and his<br />
defeats. He does symbolize in these things much that is relatable to other<br />
people. Not just some star's success story, but also a human story. |<br />
|8/26/02 08:41:39 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|Man am I on a roll<br />
tonight!Let's get Micky Rourke to play <strong>Jerry</strong> during some time periods of his<br />
life.Anyone ever see his movie "Homeboy"? Mickey actually seems to empathise<br />
with fighters with this affliction.<strong>The</strong>y are of a type,Irish,blond,tough.Maybe,if<br />
someone could get him interested,he could at least help with the producing or<br />
financing.Especialy as he seems to have an aquantance with the <strong>Quarry</strong> family. |<br />
|8/26/02 08:47:50 PM|Gerry Schultz|Ohio||jgschultz@firstam.com||||10|I also<br />
wanted to add, history is giving greater credit to <strong>Jerry</strong> than he received in the<br />
late 70's, when he was almost derided. I remember when Leon Spinks was "the<br />
man", I asked how a prime vs. prime matchup might go, and I was laughed at for<br />
suggesting <strong>Jerry</strong> would give him a good fight. Time and perspective do change,<br />
and now people are seeing better what Lyle, Shavers, Spencer, Alexander and<br />
others did then. That, and the fact that the depth of talent was so much more<br />
than it has been since. Real talent stands up with time.|<br />

laughed at you because you said <strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> would have given a good fight to<br />
Leon Spinks? Now that in itself is very funny! <strong>Jerry</strong> would have not only given<br />
Leon a good fight, he would have knocked "Neon Leon" out! <strong>Jerry</strong> would have used<br />
angles to make Spinks miss as he charged in and he would have made Spinks pay<br />
big time with hard accurate counter punching. I would pick <strong>Jerry</strong> by mid round<br />
stoppage, if not earlier. Steve, Paul D. was working on a book about <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
which Jim <strong>Quarry</strong> had a lot of input. I hope you put it together soon Paul. I<br />
know of another book that someone else has in the works about <strong>Jerry</strong>'s life that<br />
we should be hearing about some time in the near future. I am not at liberty to<br />
say any more about this at this time. As far as myself doing a book about<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong>, I have toyed with the idea, but I think others have done the homework, so<br />
I will not enter that arena at this time. It really is a shame that Jim Q is no<br />
longer with us as he was a wealth of information on <strong>Jerry</strong> and boxing in<br />
general.|<br />

Porter|Florida||sabrinalporter@aol.com||||10|I THINK WRITING A BOOK ABOUT MY<br />
UNCLE JERRY IS A GREAT IDEA....I HEARD RUMORS ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING HAS COME OF<br />
IT YET.....IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD BOOK TO READ...A MOVIE WOULD BE GOOD TOO<br />
THERE'S LOTS TO TELL....JERRY WAS THE GREATEST CHAMPION TO NEVER WIN A TITLE AS<br />
GEORGE FOREMAN ONCE SAID..MY FATHER JAMES WOULD BE VERY PROUD..LOVE YOU DAD AND<br />
JERRY.....|<br />

california||RONNYRAINS@yahoo.com||||10|yes, i also believe QUARRY would have<br />
ko'd SPINKS early,if those guys laughed at JERRY,is only because he was on the<br />
shelf, and probably after ZANON,WHO WAS THEY NO.1 EUROPE GUY AT THE TIME,<strong>Jerry</strong><br />
say 1969-70 beats SPINKS easy.I observed almost every one of spinks bouts,JERRY<br />
WOULD TURN HIM EVERY WHERE BUT LOOSE,I'M not so sure JER would have even lost to<br />
MICHAEL SPINKS.|<br />
|8/27/02 02:12:00 PM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|I think <strong>Jerry</strong><br />
would have been too strong for Michael Spinks. M. Spinks was a blown up light<br />
heavyweight who like his brother Leon, was lucky to catch a great champion, in<br />
M. Spinks' case Larry Holmes, on the way down. I pick <strong>Jerry</strong> by Kayo over<br />
Michael Spinks as well.|<br />
|8/27/02 02:39:33 PM|Joe Krause|Chicago||sadmspats@yahoo.com||||10|Let's be<br />
honest, Leon wasn't real good and was quite possibly the worst Lineal Champion<br />
ever. Michael was far superior and would <strong>Jerry</strong> a good fight. Mike Spinks
