Nemeses

Mayorga could fight, one of my personal favorites... aside from being the number two shiat talker of all time... toney Galento may be the best... Reporter asks about Joe Louis as an opponent for their upcoming fight, two ton toney puts on this quizzical look then says "neva hurd a da bum."Comment

Tony Zale was Rocky Graziano's nemesis. Graziano said he still had Zale nightmares years after their fights.Comment

- -Jerry Quarry has Ali and Joe as nemeses, esp Joe who KTFO him twice with Ali merely slicing him up twice.
Quarry was the first to destroy the KO machine of Mac Foster who took Ali a hard 15 rds as did Shavers who BTFO Ali for 15 rds but couldn't last 1 vs Quarry who also BTFO undefeated Lyle who managed to hang on for the distance.Comment

I guess those failures constitute a nemesis relationship but they don't stand out as special.
The Great Tommy Hearns unable to get by the mediocre Iran Barkley; Rocky Kansas losing to Benny Leonard three times, but then becoming LW Champion as soon as Leonard retires; Greb able to beat Tunney first time out but then subsequently failing four consecutive times.
There is something special attached to each of these relationships. Quarry it seems just came up short against two superior fighters.
But I guess to Quarry they would feel like a nemesis relationship. So never mind.

I'm not saying it's true only that Pep made such a claim, which to me screams Pep felt like he had a nemesis in Sandy.Comment
