Originally posted by Hard Boiled HKForeman was quoted ducking Quarry according to Quarry's website, and I highly doubt Quarry would lie about that, especially when he quoted George Foreman for saying it.
If George was gonna be intimidated, it woulda been Frazier or Liston who George idolized and sparred with. George in his first 13 months KOed Wepner, Chuvalo, and outpointed Peralta. Chuvalo had KOed Quarry and Peralta was a lot cuter than Quarry could ever imagine.
I spoke with George about Quarry. He rates Quarry high among heavies who never won a title, but, Quote: "Jerry was a counter puncher who gave sluggers hard fights." That's it.
George was ascending to a title fight while Quarry was descending into pug hell. Study up!

Shame is, Quarry ain't around to set the record straight.

A Quarry/Foreman fight was in the works at some point when Foreman was champ, but it never happened. Foreman was at the fight where Quarry beat Shavers in one, and supposedly, Foreman said, "There goes your title shot."

I'm not drinking kool-aid, dickhead. This fact has been established for some time, if you bothered to look it up. Foreman even said "I dodged him, purposefully."

In the years that George turned pro, Quarry was KOed by Chuvalo, Ali, Frazier, and Norton.
