Jerry Quarry vs. Micheal Dokes

Not worth starting a thread Russell, but thanks for the effort.

 

BIG DEE HERE= Quarry by 7th rd KO, Dokes hasn`t the punch to keep Jerry off of him and also the chin. Quarry carries the punch, speed, chin and boxing ability to KO Dokes or Dec. him.

 

Woddy Here= Dokes beats Quarry to a bloody pulp.

 

BIG DEE HERE= Your dreaming as usual. Dokes barely beat Tex Cobb and got the **** beat out of himself by Gerrie Coetzee. Quarry would have used both for punching bags in his prime.

 

A young Dokes makes a competitive fight, and either wins a close decision, or loses one. After Coetzee, Quarry stops Dokes late.

 

Dokes at his very (rare) best (ie: from the '89 fight against Holyfield) would have a great chance of defeating Quarry. Other than that he was generally too erratic to make a clear fave, despite possessing quick hands, respectable power and his fair share of ability. His lifestyle and drug-use negated his career, though and like so many it's a case of "what might have been" in terms of what he could've achieved given more consistency and discipline.

Close'un to call, but overall Quarry was the better fighter.

 

With all due respect sir, has anyone ever explained to you that you don't need to anounce who you are everytime you post? Your name is written as clear as day to the left of the typing field.

 

Welcome aboard, mate. Good post and thanks.

Hope you enjoy your stay in the forums (the Classic section is the place to be for a good debate). :good

 

Depends on how much coke Dokes had crammed up his nose that morning.

 

Could be a very good fight...entertaining anyway...I would take a quarry UD although a late stoppage would not surprise me either.

 

89' Dokes vs a prime quarry would be a good fight... until quarry knocks him out late

 

this fight was first brought up in an issue of KO mag which Quarry was selected as the winner (Edge given to Quarry by W). I think Quarry could take Mike's best but I don't know if Mike could keep it up for 10 rounds. Off what I saw in the 1st Weaver fight, Ultimate Dynamite Dokes takes out Quarry in 8. Prove me wrong.

 

So you think the ref is going to stop the fight prematurely, huh?
