Jerry Quarry was the only man to fight both Muhammad Ali twice and Joe Frazier twice. The only man to take on Muhammad Ali twice and Joe Frazier twice. The news report is unclear as there is a gap in the commentary. The word 'both' should have been used to indicate Quarry fighting both Ali and Frazier.

Boxing and dementia with heavyweight boxer Jerry Quarry
United States news report on top heavyweight boxer Jerry Quarry and his dementia.
Jerry Quarry fought in what has been called "The Golden Age Of Heavyweight Boxing", where the talent level of the sport and its level of international interest were at a peak.
Jerry Quarry (May 15, 1945 - January 3, 1999), nicknamed "Irish" or "The Bellflower Bomber", was an American heavyweight boxer. During the peak of his career from 1968 to 1971, Quarry was rated by Ring magazine as the most popular fighter in the sport. His most famous bouts were against world champions Floyd Patterson, Jimmy Ellis, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton.
Quarry had over 200 fights in his amateur career. He turned professional in 1965 and finished with a record of 53-9-4, with wins over some of the best heavyweights of his era. Quarry was undersized compared to many of his rivals, but very durable and had a great left hook. A recurring problem was that he would sustain cuts easily, which caused many of his fights to be brought to an end. He retired from boxing in 1975, but had comeback fights in 1977, 1983 and 1992.
Towards the end of his life the punishment sustained in his boxing career caused Quarry to become a shell of himself. He developed chronic traumatic encephalopathy and required assistance to perform everyday tasks. He was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995, where he gave a slurred speech. He died in 1999, at the young age of 53.
Quarry was from an Irish American family of agricultural laborers in California. His younger brothers Mike and Bobby Quarry also boxed. Mike was a high-ranked contender in the light heavyweight division Jerry's older brother James was the only Quarry brother not to box. James became a carer for Jerry and set up the Jerry Quarry Foundation, a non-profit that assists disabled boxers.
When he returned in 1983, he was 38 years old. Though appearing to be in good health, Quarry was in fact already beginning to show the effects of his lengthy boxing career. A Sports Illustrated reporter was researching an article about health problems among retired boxers, especially among those who started as child boxers. The reporter met Quarry, and although he appeared to be in good health, Quarry's performance on several simple cognitive tests was shockingly poor. This was the harbinger of the mental decline that would eventually destroy the last part of his life, dementia pugilistica, the atrophy of the brain from repeated blows to the head, eventually leading to an Alzheimer's-like state. A 1983 CT scan of Quarry's brain done for the article and agreed to by him, showed classic evidence of brain atrophy, including the characteristic cavum septi pellucidi found in many boxers with long careers. Despite these developing facts, Quarry had two wins in 1983, but the fights accelerated his mental decline.
He retired again and was inactive as a boxer from 1984 to 1992, but Quarry continued to decline physically and mentally. His entire boxing fortune completely gone by 1990, Quarry filed for Social Security at age 45. Denied a boxing license in many states because of his condition, Quarry found a loophole in Colorado that allowed him to schedule an October 30, 1992 bout with Ron Cramner, a cruiserweight 16 years Quarry's junior. At age 47 years and 6 months old, Quarry provided nothing more than a 6-round punching bag for the younger fighter, losing all six rounds and the decision. Only Quarry's courage and great chin let him last the full 6 rounds. Quarry was never the same after that fight.
Soon Quarry could not feed or dress himself and had to be cared for by relatives, such as James, the only one of the four Quarry brothers not to box professionally. Jerry's brother, Mike, who had contended for the light-heavyweight championship, was himself beginning to show signs of dementia pugilistica and died in 2006. Another brother, Bobby, suffers from Parkinson's disease, believed to be the result of his own heavyweight boxing career. Jerry Quarry was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995. A television news broadcast of the event showed him barely aware of the proceedings, the dementia he suffered now severe. Quarry was hospitalized with pneumonia on December 28, 1998, and then suffered cardiac arrest. He never regained consciousness and died on January 3, 1999 at the age of 53. His body was interred at Shafter Cemetery in Shafter, California in the United States of America. A foundation was established in his honor to battle boxing-related dementia, a condition that has afflicted many boxers and brought Quarry's life to an early end.
Anyone seriously considering being a boxer should see Jerry Quarry ua-cam.com/video/KVOoDdRTAAM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WorldBoxingHallofFame%3ABoxerJerryQuarry

This is Sad. I remember when he was a contender back then in the '60's Very game and one of the best counter punchers in boxing history. Against Frazier and Ali he stood up to them and gave it his all . Great courage.
Jerry was not one of the greatest. He was tough and had heart but had little boxing talent. Far too many boxers died at an early age, and were punch drunk, including Ali and Joe Frazier. Most made big money but died broke.
He died at 53.
That's Too young.
Giving and receiving brain damage. What a sport!!
Agreed 💯... science and history goes back 1 million yrs, documented...don't see any change as long as men...
Try 4 day water fasts for new Stem cell growth. Can't hurt.
That is some kind of brotherhood there… my hat is off to Jerry’s brother.
So we went from 'punch drunk' to 'dementia pugilistica' to CTE. We really don't know what we're doing to these guys. All we do is deal with the damage and study the brains when they're gone. When are we gonna get it right???
2¢ worth...I don't see any changes next___&__ decades,go back 3-4 million yrs w/ Lucy "& Ardi" to 1 st proto humans, imagine the quarrels between neanderthals 😮
"The only man to take on Muhammad Ali twice." ???? Let's see, Joe Frazier fought Ali 3 times, George Chuvalo fought him twice, Floyd Patterson fought him twice, as did Henry Cooper, Sonny Liston, Ken Norton fought him three times....what the heck? This is CBS News, do these guys to any research at all?
I believe the statement was the only man to fight Ali twice AND Frazier twice. Don’t get so worked up.
Do YOU have CTE from fighting yourself? Or maybe from banging your head against a wall?
Quarry was my favorite fighter back in the day.
This is just heartbreaking
His brother's keeper.
LIFE MAKES YOU PAY FOR ANY FUN YOU EVER HAD YOU WILL SUFFER LATER 10 FOLD FOR THE ENJOYMENT YOU HAD !! AND PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE IN SOME GOD FROM A FAIRYTALE BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE LOL
I like how you've equated getting punched in the head with having fun...
so, nobody should "have fun"?
No pain no gain dude. Are you sore ? Good. You are now stronger and tougher than you where before. Are you tired? Good. You can rest and come back stronger than you where before.
@@kylieminou7775 NO NOT AT ALL IT JUST SEEMS THIS WAY AND ITS TO BAD THE BAD IS THERE TO ALWAYS SNUFF OUT THE PLEASURE?!
@@hughgrection7246 YEP IM YRYING TO BE STRONG GETTING OLD AND TIRED
Reminds me of Biden.
When the narrator said that Quarry was aged 50, I nearly spat out my drink. He looked about 70 at the time.
A great fighter, unbelievable heart. However, I honestly don't think that there were that many brain cells there to begin with unfortunately.
come on man, is there any need for a comment like that?
What an outstanding Brother. Amazing!!
Henry Cooper fought Ali twice.
So did leon spinks and Joe bugger sonny liston and a few others.
But not Joe Frazier.
Joe Bugner took Ali on twice and went the distance both times...
Joe Bugner fought Frazier once. Jerry Quarry fought Frazier twice that is the distinction. Fighting both Ali and Frazier twice.
That Q thing was heartbreaking
I cant stand people, all the comments acting as if they GAF, but every time there's a fight, regardless if its MMA, Boxing, or KickBoxing these some POS commenting that they feel bad or joking are the same AWHOLES that talk shiiiiit on fighters for not punching each other like rockem sockem robots, they want fighters to go in there and destroy their brains, yet guys like Floyd the dismiss as cowards instead of understanding what real boxing is or what fighting smart is. this is why I dislike so many humans, most are full of it.
This could be Jake Paul in 2048 <<<<< He has so little of Grey Matter for starters...Who in their right mind would go up against Mike Tyson???. Sure he is much older at his prime. However, I would hate having him get irritated at me.
Didn't they cancel the fight???
Boxing is a brutal sport !
What a fantastic brother❤
The Twilight Zone had an episode where boxing is outlaw and robots that look like human's fight. Lee Marvin.
The name of the game is hit and don’t get hit 🥊
Yeah but that means the opponent is the one getting brain damage. Also the way boxing is structured with mismatches, the tomato cans are the ones getting their brains obliterated to protect the promoter's star.
yeah but let's be honest, a slug-fest sells tickets.
@@yorkiemike True that. Especially casual fans who are there to see blood, not actually wanting to see like a game of chess and outthinking one another. The real boxing fans watch for the science of boxing and the outthinking and outmaneuvering one another.
He was lucky to have a good brother to help take care of him. Thank you Jimmy for what you did for Jerry Jerry was my boxer from 1968 till he retired.
i didn't see coming the last 5 seconds! jesus fc
God bless Jerrys brother who took care of him. Such a wonderful spirit.
Show videos of the broken down husbands and fathers that have committed suicide because of failed marriages. Why not if you are showing negative crap show the worst of the worst. .. religion, marriage, etc
I hear ya brother...I hear you
what the f does that have to do with the subject at hand?
He is using that example to divert our attention from the dangers of CTE. He probably disagrees with the point of the video. @yorkiemike
Your point is frivolous. We shouldn't acknowledge an issue because there are issues that are far worse? There are things much worse than religion and marriage. Genocide, pandemics, war? Gosh why not talk about how the sun will eventually explode and destroy our Earth. See how pointless of an exercise this is.
the last 4 seconds 💀💀💀💀💀
He came through in the golden age, Ali Frazier Foreman Norton Holmes what a list.
Pugilistic Dementia or CTE.
I know we love fighters with a huge heart,meaning they will walk through hell for a win. But there is a cost to having the hugest of hearts like Quarry.
This is just people who aren't competitive finding things to stop male competitive sports. I'm not saying this isn't sad, Quarry should have been stopped from taking so much damage in fights that weren't competitive.
Bad diet + trauma from boxing = punch drunk.
CTE has nothing to do with a bad diet
It sure does. You can see he’s addicted to sugar in this video. Cassius Clay also had a crap diet, got fat in between fights. This is one reason why only some boxers and football players get symptoms.
@@TPBGR Can you show me a source - say a scientific paper - that links poor diet to CTE? No you can't, because it isn't linked to CTE.
Sure can. Let’s see if you can find a paper saying they’re not linked Mr. Science 😆… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30249250/
Hey, hey, hey…..I eat fast food e times a day, and………,,, wait a minute, what were we talking about?
Any person seeing Lennox Lewis/David Haye/Carl Froch/Marvin Hagler/Ray Leonard/Manny Pacquiao etc etc should be inspired.
George took on Muhammad Ali twice once in Toronto for 15 rounds and once out I believe in 12 rounds out in the Vancouver British Columbia so that was a mistake quarry did it twice so did George Cavello get your stuff right? OK Americans
His last name is Chuvalo, and this documentary stated that Quarry was the only guy that faced Ali and Frazier twice. Ali fought many guys at least twice…Norton (3x), Spinks and Liston immediately come to mind.
He took a lot of punches in his career. He also gave a lot. No doubt that he was a warrior. Even though he was an undersized heavy weight, his heart tried to make up the difference. In the big fights (Ali, Frazier, Norton) it wasn't enough.
They no what they are getting themselves into when signing up.No sympathy here.
Know.
Grow up
World championship fights used to go 15 rounds. The real damage to the brain occurs in the late rounds when your defenses are less and your body is gassed.
MMA will produce generations of Jerry Quarries.
I doubt it. Boxing is more dangerous than mma. Do you know why? In boxing the main target is the head. In mma, boxing is to the least used skill. They wrestle, grapple, kick etc. The head gets hit way too much in boxing plus they spar regularly.
@@JohnDoe-iq9bz Several MMA fighters already have brain damage. No, it won't be as much as boxing, but there will always be a decent amount of it in any contact sport.
@@jotunblod That's true 100%. Combine that with hard-sparring for training, injuries for training, they all add up. Studies have shown that ALL boxers have brain damage but to how much it can impact them depends on the boxer. Some like George Foreman have brain damage though they don't show signs. But they could as they get older. They may not show symptoms now, but later on they could. Boxing or any combat sport is dangerous. You simply can't avoid brain damage at all.
tragic a great fighter
I have a few ex boxer friends as much as I love the sport they’re all damaged the poor buggers
*I fought having 46 amateur (smokers) fights (42-4) in my late teens until my late 20's. Later, I went onto to RN school and graduated with a Baccalaureate degree at Cal State University in my late 50's. So this shatters the myth every fighter is effected. Its every Athlete's responsibility to minimize damage and everey refere's job to ensure this. I was just lucky or rugged. Not sure which. I think referees stop fights much sooner now. Jerry fought over 50 years ago*
When I was 8 I punched a mountain like Goku and it shattered.
@@charlesmarcus7864 "The day the earth stood still"
There is no comparison between amateur fights and a short career such as yours and the long term battering endured by Quarry. Your posting is somewhat unintelligent ( Stupid ? }
@@barney2633 *So says someone stupid enough to forget. They had no fights in the ring at all. When I had 46 amateur fights and 14 years in the ring. So you have no comparison to offer. Your statement is the ultimate in unintelligence. While trying to discuss unintelligence.*
I don't think its necessarily a myth that every fighter is affected. According to researchers, all boxers suffer brain damage/CTE. But you are one of the lucky ones who don't show signs of it. But hopefully later in life, you don't experience any dementia or any of that. Also, hard-sparring and training makes an impact too.
how very sad, i wish him luck, he has an awesome brother
I know people that are like that and they have never boxed a round in their lives!
I knew Vito Antuofermo. By 1985, when he retired, he was already unable to speak coherent sentences.
When I was in my mid teens my dad took me to the old Olympic Auditorium (next to the old Roman Meal bread company in LA) to see Jerry fight a guy named Lincoln I believe,though I'm not sure.. Whoever it was Quarry won by knockout. A very tough fighter with a viscious left hook.Unfortunately,he cut very easily and badly. Great memories Jerry. Thank you.
Probably why we don't ever hear about the heavyweight division anymore and why we don't see the boxers we used to like Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Duran... lots of guys who would be good are now avoiding it. I can name one boxer right now ..Canelo Alvarez.
Then no offence u dont follow boxing ..the heavyweight division is the most lively it's ever been since the 80s . Uysk the first to unifiey in 25 years against tyson fury . Zeli zhang who ko and retired wilder 3 days ago . Terrence Crawford welterweight champ . The charlo twins . The benidevez brothers .I could go on and on .. boxing has never been more healthier then it is .. maybe cus the usa ain't a legit threat in the heavyweight div .
@@MrRobm81 Well said. We just had one of the greatest achievements in sports history occur with Usyk winning CW and HW undisputed and people still want to whine about HWs of the past. Usyk would SCHOOL almost all of the old-timers. And he did it without steroids, unlike most of the 80's and 90's generation. Usyk deserves to be mentioned with Ali, Holmes and Dempsey, the very greats, all-natural athletes.
Jerry's brother is a saint
