January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

pinches a round but in which fights? I know some rounds he did throw that many
punches but every round? I have most of his major fights and Frazier, in his
major fights, is throwing more punches than Rocky is. One thing going
for Rocky is his very accurate punching from in close and Frazier could be hurt,
as seen by Foreman, especially early in a fight. Frazier lost the first round
in just about all of his major fights and often the first two rounds. Frazier
also was most vunerable to being knocked out before round three, when he usually
started to "smoke" full steam ahead. This can be seen by Frazier getting
knocked out by Foreman in round two in their first fight and by Bonevena
kncoking down Frazier twice in round number two in their first meeting as
well.Ali, prime agaisnt prime, would outpoint Mariciano on the basis of
keeping Rocky at a distance with the use of the left jab. Ali would win by
number of punches landed but he would know he was in a real fight as Rocky would
land some savage body shots and if people think Ali was feeling it after taking
Chuvalo's body attack all night long, just think how he would feel after taking
those shots from Rocky! Who would win, Ali or Maricano, also would depends on
who is judging the fight. I don't see anyone getting knocked out in this one.
Both fighters had great chins. Oldtimers would give Ali less credit for moving
away much of the time and they may side with Rocky's better quality of power
punches over Ali's quanity of punches. They would also view Rocky's pressing
the action in high favor. Latter day judges likely would go with Ali's volume
of punches landed. I don't see Rocky landing very many head punches agaisnt an
in prime Ali. Rocky would land short punches to the head whenever Ali would try
and rest and hold but Ali at this best didn't do this as much as he did later
stages of his career.|

without my reading glasses. I just can't read very well or notice typos without
them. Of course, I meant 100 punches a round, not pinches! |

vs. Ali, I think Ali would win on a cut eye TKO. Ali had real cutting power
with those sharp, fast punches.|

learned that I am related to the Quarry clan...after doing some research I
wanted to post to say how wonderful I think this site is. Some of my family
doesn't know this site exsits, but I did show my mom and it brought tears to her
eyes. This is such a great foundation. There is a lot of respect shown for all
of the Quarry boys here...It is absolutely wonderful. Great Job! :)|

it easy on anybody. It was not his nature in the ring. Kent, I can see how you
could give Jerry a good chance over Marciano. Jerry was an excellent boxer,
could move in and out, had a good jab and was very fast. He also, as we know,
had great punching power. But as RS pointed out, Jerry had a tendency to go
brawling when things got hot and heavy, which they would vs. Marciano. Jersey
Joe lasted because he stayed away, for the most part, although he made Rocky pay
