Thoughts on "Irish" Jerry Quarry?

[RINGG]

Foreman ducked him intentionally, I give Quarrys catious fluid counterpucnhing style a decentstyle match up, he also had a granite chin, I say foreman might have to catch him on cuts. Quarry dealt with big punchers very well.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????
And yet George fought all the guys that kept beating Quarry!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

Great fighter actually. I believe he would be a world champion nowadays.

What an expert , Quarry TKO2 Wladimir Klitschko , TKO3 Vitali Klitschko , KO1 David Haye .
Well , against Haye he may stand a chance .

Quarry fought at the late sixties and to the mid seventies , Ali and Frazier handled him without too much trouble , not to mention Chuvalo and Norton.
If he fought a bit later , Holmes would have handled him , later it would have been Spinks and Cooney and later Tyson , and then it comes to Holyfield , Bowe , Lewis , the Klitschkos , as well as many of the contenders of those eras . He would have been given fits by Jesse Fergusson , schooled by Orlin Norris , Chris Byrd and James Toney and got destroyed by Tua and probably Bruno.
Quarry would not even be a champion prior to the late 60's , when he would have probably lost to Liston and even to Patterson , not to mention Marciano and Louis . He could have been a champion only in the weakest eras , and even this is far from certain.

I've watched the Jerry Quarry chronicles before and always laugh when he mimics Ali. It was probably the best I've heard yet LOL. And Quarry was an excellent analyst. But the direction his life took after boxing was tragic.

I agree, I was surprised at how he hit the right notes with ALi's voice. I think it's better than Joe Fraziers impersonation.

Ali & Frazier was "The Pyramids" of Heavyweight history and Frazier vs Quarry (1) was FOTY 1969 Quarry would have given Holmes nightmares, his loss to Norton was when Quarry was years past his best and suffering bad health, his loss to Chuvalo was very questionable but i would take all those who beat Quarry to also easily KO the fighters you have listed like Klitschko, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Norris, Byrd & Ferguson as well as KO both Tua & Bruno with the last 5 mentioned being very mediocre fighters indeed who all had limited boxing ability compaired to Jerry Quarry

I love how the klitcho's were not even mentioned until these guys came along.
Watch Louis vs Simon and see how Louis' skill was able to offset their height advantage
you can watch haye v valuev same height difference.

@RINGG Frazier beat Ali, Foreman beat Frazier but Ali beat Foreman. It was bad style match ups. I think George style was made for Quarry, George would win but would have a hard time doing it.
