Jerry Quarry the toughest road

[spam]

I have a problem with whites? No moron I have a probably with racist whites like most of you on this forum who love to try to build up fighters because they are white. From Marciano to Quarry to Dempsey Jack Dempsey.

There is nothing Quarry did in his career that makes him special. He had a few decent wins. Nothing to get all giddy about.

All fighters of that era were willing to face each other. So why give Quarry so much credit? Because he is white?

Quarry won 4 and drew one time? That the **** are you talking about? Ali beat him 2 times, Frazier beat him 2 times. Norton beat him once. That is 5 loses all by stoppage I might add. Foreman would of destroyed him if they fought too.

Because he was willing to fight these guys and lose it makes him great? No it means just like every other fighter of that era he had the balls to face people that were superior to him.

You can give him credit for having balls unlike most heavyweights today but why build him up?

Why would anyone want to step on Jerry? The guy was competative therefore he was a very good- to great fighter. His race is a red herring, Take it from a white boy raised in East Harlem when you still had Irish lads in the hood. Quarry represented well....

Take this BS to NSB. You'll be right at home there. Most posters here don't stand for this crap and you're only going to attract more fools like you.

There have been a lot of idiots posting in here lately.

Wtf is up with all this modern heavy weight and cruiser weight bull **** if you fight above 200 ****ing pounds your a HW point blank period. If HW's of today would get in ****ing shape then Prbly weigh close to 220 to but it's just a bunch of slobs. Kills me Ali a Frazier were feather fisted and fought a bunch of cruiser weights. Yet Lewis and both k bros are super HEAVY's so what are they picking on the normal HW's for? Same logic.

God that **** kills me oh and yes HW of today are much bigger punchers sure sure Sam Peter couldn't even get toney outta there idgaf if his chin is made outta diamonds he started at mw gtfo here modern and bigger is better at least old HW could knock out a guy who weighs 185 instead of not being able to knock out middle weights. Had to rant

I will say if Quarry fought in a decade with less talent, he could have potentially been a champion.....except for one small flaw.

He always zigged when he shoulda zagged. He boxed when brawling would have served him better and vice versa.

Best example(s): the Ellis fight. He tried to box with Jimmy Ellis. If he'd attacked him like he attacked Frazier, he actually might have convinced those judges he was the WBA title holder. Conversely, if he'd boxed Frazier.......WHOOOOOAAAA. I'm just kiddin'.

He never coulda beaten Frazier, or Ali, or really Norton I don't think. But, that gets back to what I was saying. In another era....maybe.


Incidentally, an interesting rumor arose after he'd beaten Lyle and Shavers. That the Foreman camp was ducking him. Preposterous? Perhaps; but, Quarry had a chin and fastish hands, a decent left hook, and was a good enough counter puncher.

That being said, I still think Foreman woulda got him outta there within 5; but it's an intriguing idea.

Quarry was better than a journeyman and good enough to be a contender....just not the champ. Better than Bert Cooper, better than Ross Purity, and slightly better than Ray Mercer. I'd put him on par with a Michael Moorer, for example. Good fighter, just not great.

HALLELUYAH!!!!!


Ahhhh, it's good to hear it said. Cheers, mate.

Sam Peter isn't a big anything besides a fat slob. He couldn't knock Toney out because Peter isn't really much of a fighter. Tyson or Foreman in their primes would of both knocked Toney out.

Anything over 205 is a modern heavyweight. Marciano weighed 180 so he wasn't and never faced a modern heavyweight besides a washed up Joe Louis.

Quarry was a great fighter now? Why? Who did he beat who was great? Yet the same people will say Michael Moorer is a bum. Well at least Moorer beat Holyfield a all time great. Quarry was on par with Moorer? So Quarry could beat Holyfield now? Get the hell out of here.

Quarry was better than Mercer? You mean the Mercer who went toe to toe with Lennox Lewis and a lot of people think Mercer won. Lewis would of starched Quarry. Lewis is a bigger puncher than Norton, Frazier or Ali

If Quarry had a great chin then again why did he get knocked out by Ali and the "glass" chin was never hurt by Ali?

You see why I bring up race? You are willing to praise Quarry then try to tear down black fighters like Norton and Moorer to make Quarry seem better than he was.


Foreman would of struggled against Quarry? Yeah the same Quarry that got knocked out by Frazier and Norton and Foreman knocked both Norton and Frazier out in 2 rounds. Yeah because clearly Quarry had a better chin than Norton and Frazier who both fought Ali 3 times and were never knocked out. Quarry was knocked out both times he faced Ali.

You really are trying to piss me off, huh.

Racist? No. Not even close.

Jerry Quarry was not great; but he was no journeyman, either.

Could Quarry have beaten Lewis? Not a snowball's chance in hell; but he could have outboxed Mercer. Could he have beaten Holyfield? Only the Holyfield that Moorer got a decision over....and that win was debatable.

He had a good chin because he couldn't have made it 7 rounds against Ali with that ****ty defense of his if he didn't.

It's a lot easier to read what I'm saying if you get your head outta your ass.
