1958 Ingemar Johansson vs 1969 Jerry Quarry, who wins and why?

@Tonto62 did you used to post here as "McVey" ?

 

Quality over quantity?

 

Mcvey was banned ,though it seems a small few missed him?

 

I don't think Mathis was ranked when Quarry beat him,hence I left him out.

 

Well you are a carbon copy of him, so as long as you're here no one can complain that they miss him

 

I'll take that as a compliment, even if it was not meant as such.lol

 

Neither a compliment nor an insult. Just an observation. Hopefully the real mcvey will be back soon to prove me right or wrong. You're a decent stand-in anyway.

 

Quality over quantity, yes, up to a point.

Like I said before, not all 'ranked men' are equal, and not all 'unranked' are unworthy of being compared to the ranked. There are many degrees.

 

He was banned for life.
I'll keep his place warm for him anyway.

 

I can't argue with that, different eras produce different levels of skills.
Personally I think:
Lyle
Shavers
Foster
Spencer
Even Mathis, clean up on all but a couple of the guys Ingo beat.

 

I'd like to have McVey back again!

 

Well hopefully I can provide a facsimile.

 

I don't think Ingo lacked courage but he had little variety and his technique was very basic. You're absolutely right about his chin against Jerry's power though.

 

Yeah. I miss the old curmudgeon. He has great insight from 60's and 70's ringsides.
