These two get mentioned on here often, how do they match-up H2H? Quarry was a 6' 200 Lber with decent overall skill, fair power, and a great ability to bleed and lose by TKO vs. almost every TOP fighter he faced. He did beat a pre-prime Lyle by decision and knocked out Shavers. He was destroyed by Ali, Frazier, and Norton. A prime Bruno was 6'3" and weighed between 228-248 Lbs. in HW world title fights... always ripped. He had good overall skills, good power, exceptional strength, but was stopped by most of the TOP fighters he faced. Who ya got?
They were sluggers who came forward in a predictable rhythm looking for the knockout punch, Bruno was a boxer-puncher who had a versatile jab, could sit behind it rather than only being able to use it offensively like Lyle, Bruno could go up and down, change the rhythm of it and speed, Quarry couldn’t stay on the outside against Bruno, and when Quarry had to take it to an opponent, he was mid, and couldn’t set up attacks through level changes, couldn’t close off the ring and he’d just lunge at times, +he’s not having success up close since Bruno is much stronger and can just tie him up up close.
Ya don’t need to be forgiven for making a thread lol everything has been done before if anyone’s gonna be the “her der this again” guy they can feck off and just not post in the thread? I’ve probably been that guy and I realise how obnoxious that is lol.
I might too. While Quarry did very well against big punchers, Frank could jab and fight on the outside a bit which might reduce his chances of getting countered by Jerry. And I don’t see Quarry doing to Frank what he did to Earnie Shavers as it generally took a very strong and powerful come-forward fighter to make Frank fold like that… And even those guys got tough fights
