Sailor Tom v Irish Jerry?

but nothing in evidence shows the type of power shots to body and head that Quarry showed us vs Lyle,Shavers,Mac Foster and others and lets face it Sharkey nor any of his contemporary's fought anyone one that could punch like Jerry or his trophy's = Lyle,Shavers,Mac Foster not even the great J.J.

 

Jeffries, Fitzsimmons and Maher couldn't hit as hard as Quarry?

Good luck selling that one, my friend

 

Remember that Fitz regularly stopped guys Quarry's size. No problem.

McCoy stopped HWs too (and from what I've understood that supposed 158 lbs was stated, not official). You will notice that nobody was questioning Sharkey's durability or chin after McCoy dropped him. No suggestions of "Maybe that Sharkey wasn't as tough as we thought...after all, McCoy dropped him...". Very telling.

Keep in mind also that these knockdowns happened after 3 rounds of McCoy- a brutal and precise timing puncher in the Fitzsimmons mold- pounding him while Sharkey tried futilely to "box" with his more agile foe. Let McCoy pound on just about any HW of that era for 3 rounds without a return and there's a good chance they will go down too.

 

Watch Quarry vs Brassell. Brassel who has but 5 ko's in 25 fights, really had Quarry in trouble in round one. I do not think Shavers lasted long enough to land anything significant on Quarry, and IMO the stoppage could be viewed as pre-mature.

I never saw Quarry vs Mac Foster, so no comment there.

 

Laughable, but your agenda is to diminish Jeffries and other white fighters of the time.

I pick who I think wins. Black, white, yellow or green do not apply.

 

Quarry was dumb as nails. His self awareness in the ring cost him, and he " forgot " to pay his taxes " during his career. Quarry was game and stubborn, but hardly smart.

Sharkey wasn't a rocket scientist, but he was a better thinker in the ring. Read his auto bio and you'll see he wasn't a dunce.
