    Wasn't Jerry Quarry training there in 1973, preparing for the Shavers fight, only for the bout to be cancelled due to Shavers suffering a broken jaw in training?

    I remember seeing the pictures of Quarry in the magazines, in which he's wearing the Grossinger's T-shirt and blasting Archie Moore for allowing Shavers to spar with a bomber like Jeff Merritt.

    I bet Burt went through a few livers there. Seriously, old school classic era ****. Wish I could have lived through those years.
