Did Foreman duck Quarry

Been curious myself as I feel George would win. Quarry was t tough mofo
though.

 

I don't think he really did...if he did, it would have been for nothing really, as I think Foreman would tko Jerry within 4.

 

Seems ludicrous that George would duck Quarry, except maybe in the first two yeas of his career. Jerry was a cruiserweight. He would not have been much trouble for Foreman at all.

 

you are clearly trolling here with this thread

 

insinuating that jerry quarry would beat foreman is just laughable haha

 

Let's take Foreman at his word. He said that he had ducked Quarry.

 

so avoiding him because foreman was green at that time and quarry had much more experience and his team did not want risks AT THAT TIME is it = being scared?

 

foreman was scared of frazier also and all we saw what happened

 

No. Did George duck Frazier?

Jerry isnt slick enough, quick enough, elusive enough (Jimmy Young) to trouble George

 

I didn't say anything about Foreman being scared.

 

I have never been of the mind that just because a fighter or his manager " calls out " someone, that the refusal to fight is necessarily a duck. For the brief period Foreman was champion he fought the elite of the division which was Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, and Muhammad Ali, with a stay busy fight against a weaker guy in Jose Roman ( something most champions do at least once. ) Doesn't seem to me that he had much time or room to fight Quarry as Frazier, Norton and Ali were the top dogs. Was Quarry's style as palatable for Foreman as he would have liked? Probably not. But George was sure eating up the division while Quarry was beaten by Ali, Frazier, Ellis, and Chuvalo.

 

Best posting on this one! Well said.
