    What if Foreman fought Quarry instead of that farce with Jose Roman? Does Quarry become the one to beat Foreman before Ali gets to him or would Foreman ramrod forward unopposed?

    Foreman! Jerry had two tactics available against George. Attack and get whopped! Lay back and get hit and counter (his best skill). Unfortunately he wouldn't be able to really hurt George and, being drawn into a slugfest would be bombed repeatedly. Not to mention George would be jabbing him from the outset. It still amazes me how some posters think that Quarry would have a shot here??
