January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

spoon-fed most of his opponents, which makes him appear much larger in
perspective. From 1969-77 Foreman put it on the line when he had absolutely no
choice. All said, Jerry was tested to say the least. He was fearless against
Frazier 1, matched speed with Patterson, chased after Ali 1, came back against
Foster, handled Lyle and Shavers, but was careless against Ellis, unprepared for
Norton, lackluster against Frazier 2, an emotional mess against Ali 2. But he
came back many times before the end. However, after only the first loss of his
career, Foreman fell steadily apart, and in only one fight, against Lyle, did
Foreman show he had the stuff. Jerry would have stood a very good chance.|

by 8th round ko.Liston over Moorer in two rounds.Hey Bob Bumbera,formerly of
N.J.,I will take your advice and go to cyberboxingzone.Thanks for the info. on
Bevins,Harry Wills,Joe Jeannette,and Sam Mcvey.I've argued in the past that it's
impossible to compare fighters era's 2 or 3 decades apart.However,these
comparisons will always go on.Since that's the case,I'd like to put my 2 cents
in.In respect to Jerry Quarry's place the top 50 ,I would put him at #21,ahead
of Floyd Patterson.As far as I can determine, Floyd's claim to fame is being
knocked out by Johenson,avenging this with a knockout,and being crushed twice by
Liston. |
|5/31/02 03:17:57 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|I would have to put Patterson ahead
of Quarry - remember we are talking about a cruiserweight who beat many great
fighters - Hurricane Jackson (twice) - Archie Moore - Ingemar Johansson (twice)
- Eddie Machen (who beat Quarry) - George Chuvalo (who beat Quarry) and Henry
Cooper. Floyd Patterson was a highly skilled competitor - I have some footage of
his early bouts against Chester Mieszala and Dick Wagner and his speed and
combination punching ability is just awesome. I admit his chin was'nt great but
he only lost 8 times and importantly 2 times champion. I rate Jerry about one
place behind Jerry not just on ability but from the standpoint that he was
champion for a long duration. That his managers avoided some of the top
contenders does marr his reputation though. In the competition Norton and
Liston were clear winners and are through to the next round. The next draw is as
follows :- Joe Louis vs Cleveland Williams and in an amazing match Frazier meets
Marciano (all hell will break loose !!!!).|

Louis would be very interesting with Williams a live dog. I feel Louis would be
steady enough to withstand the prime Williams charge that would surely come at
some time or another. Williams usually lost by knockout and that wouldn't
change here- Louis KO 7. Frazier-Marciano is impossible to call with any degree
of certainty, but I will give the bigger man the advantage as the rest of their
skills are comparable. Frazier would be hit hard though as would Marciano and
I doubt this could posibly go the distance. Frazier KO 13 without any idea if
this would be accurate!|

the ages Joe Frazier wins by split decision over Rocky Marciano. Joe is slighly
busier in a battle that tests the heart and will of both men and since neither
will back down, it is one for the highlight tapes! Joe Louis uses his stiff jab
and combinations to wear down Cleveland Williams for an eighth round TKO. |

but Chuvalo did not beat Quarry. Clayton's decision to count out Quarry was
