Prime Quarry up against the 1991 version of Big George ? Foreman batters Quarry over the course of the fight ? Or does Quarry counter his way to a decision ? 12 round s.
Foreman KO2 Quarry Down for 10, a true KO. Not a TKO due to cuts. Quit overrating this guy for God's sake.
Not sure 91 Foreman would blast him that fast but I reckon Quarry doesn't see past 6. I take it ur Jerry s no 1 fan then ..?
A prime Foreman refused to fight Quarry. A past it George loses to a prime Jerry. And, yes Quarry is overrated, but so is Foreman.
Lol Foremans jab made the jacked 6'2 iron chinned Holyfield stumble backwards and rocked him whenever he landed flush. A 192 pound quarry who cut easily and isnt hard to hit would be covered in blood and stopped in 3 rounds or less. Styles make fights but when one guy is 3x stronger than the other with a significant size advantage you have to be realistic. Foreman doesnt need to mix it up or try to outbox quarry. He simply cross arm blocks and continues pressing forward to bully him with his piston jab and unleash his heavy blows to the body when in range. There isnt anything quarry can do to make foreman back off, holyfield landed a 10 punch combination on a fat old foreman and he didnt blink. Cooney landed a monster hook to the chest and couldn't even drop him. Horrible matchup. If quarry knew how to use his legs and didnt bleed so easily maybe he'd have a chance? You dont beat foreman by being a macho gladiator bringing the fight to him, especially if you're giving up like 40 lbs.
Quarry. Same as Moorer almost did. He just needs to be careful he doesn't suffer the same fate as Moorer. But seriously, Quarry by wide decision. ps Prime George blasts Quarry out in two or three.
Prime George definitely blasts out Quarry . There's not many I give much of a cat in hell s chance of beating young Foreman , and Quarry I'm afraid , hasn't much to help him .It would be short and sweet .
Foreman would probably knock him out at some point, but it wouldn't be easy and he would take a lot of punishement. One important thing to remember is that 1991 Foreman was better than George from Moorer fight. 1994 Foreman would likely lose to Quarry by decision, too slow at this point.
This. Foreman was made to order for Quarry and his trainers knew it. My trainer, who was a regular sparring partner for Quarry in the mid to late 60’s and talked about Quarry and Foreman sparring and Quarry toying with him. My trainer in the 70’s went on to become a sparring partner for Lyle and Lyle and his handlers assumed Quarry would be easy pickings, but my trainer said Quarry was a bad style for Lyle. On fight night Lyle found out the hard way.
Foreman admittedly was more experienced, but a clever fighter that was durable was Foreman’s weakness. I can’t see any version of Foreman beating Quarry, Jimmy Young, or Ali simply because they would always uses Foreman’s strength against him and wear him down. Foreman was very lucky Young started regularly showing up out of shape in the mid 70’s, since Young in top form would’ve stopped him.
Jimmy Young stop George Foreman? Really? Shavers wasn't half the fighter Foreman was... easy to hit and wasn't very durable but he had Foreman like Power. Young was stopped by Shavers in their first fight and they fought to a draw in the rematch. Young beat Lyle by decision twice. Lyle was a better boxer than Shavers but not Foreman... he wasn't as durable either. Lyle had power but Shavers and Foreman punched harder.
Styles. Earnie was better at sneaking in his punches than Foreman was and he wasn’t as slow as Foreman was, which is why Earnie was a harder opponent for Young. Young when he came in shape at around 200 lbs was a much better fighter and I’m confident that he would’ve wore Foreman out in 6 or 7 rounds and stopped him, but by the mid 70’s Young didn’t even bother to train that hard anymore and regularly came into fights out of shape. My trainer got to know Young pretty well in the 70’s and even train with him and said that Young was a complete waste of talent and most likely would’ve cleaned up the heavyweight division in the mid to late 70’s if not for his depression and alcohol problems.
Quarry. Im just going to leave this here: Alex Stewart and Tommy Morrison. Neither of those guys could box or counterpunch like Quarry. Now if Quarry got untracked and got out of his gameplan (which is possible) Itd be a different story. But I think Quarry would take it. Unless of course Bob Arum bribed Quarry to lay down like I suspect he did Moorer.
I just hung out with Moorer last month. He works as a private investigator and, quite frankly, sounded like money was pretty tight. It is unlikely he took a big bribe to lose to Big George. If he did, he would be more financially secure. Had he beaten George, his value for his next several fights would have been significantly higher. Fact is, Moorer just doesn't have a good chin. Never did. He got caught, plain and simple. No need to add a conspiracy angle.
