Think it does the distance actually. Yes Cooper cuts bad but damn not every fight was stopped by cuts lol. Think it’s a split decision for Quarry. Quarry didn’t handle smaller swarmer types well. Frazier handled him rather easily and Patterson was a super close fight (many thought he won I haven’t seen it so I can’t say).
Frazier is a monster though, a swarmer that wont let you rest or set, Henry is weak in comparison. Quarry looks like the beast imo against Cooper, he could counterpunch hard in combination, hes defo cutting Henry up
Quarry could've easily been champ in some era's, he had the complete skill set. He just had the misfortune of coming along when some of the best heavyweights in history were in the division. Cooper was a good fighter, with a big left hook. But other that that he was ordinary. Both men cut easily. But this fight wouldn't come down to that. Quarry would stop Cooper within 5-6 rds. By ko. Quarry was just an all around much more complete fighter.
The only era I can think of is the 1890s-1910's era. Possibly 1920's-early 30's as well. But by the mid 30's, he'd have this fellow named Joe Louis in the way, by the late 40s-early 50s, he'd have Charles & Walcott to get past which he may or may not, I don't think he'd beat Marciano, Liston, a younger Patterson or a younger Eddie Machen. He may or may not have beaten Johannson. We saw him against Ali and Frazier so that's a no go. Maybe in the late 70's he'd have beaten an aging Ali that Leon Spinks beat. He wouldn't get past Larry Holmes in the early 80's, though he may or may not have beaten the version of Holmes that Michael Spinks beat. He may or may not have beaten Michael Spinks at heavy. A young Mike Tyson rains down destruction upon him. He's not beating Holyfield, Bowe or Lewis. Quarry may have captured a belt in the 80's to the current era but not been undisputed champion. He likely wouldn't beat the K2 Brothers. He likely wouldn't have beaten AJ, Wilder or Fury. Depending on the night, he may or may not have beaten Andy Ruiz. So basically, the most likely time that he is undisputed champion is the 1890's to early 1930's.
Everyone is picking Quarry, lol Quarry vs the Cooper in the first Ali match? Cooper. But then again, judging boxers purely by how they looked against Ali isn't credible...
Cooper wasn't a swarmer , he was a stand up fighter who boxed behind the jab , and he was taller than Quarry.Jerry k'os him.
Henry liked to get on the front foot and crack his jab into an opponent to set up the hook and he was always aggressive in big fights, looking to impose himself. Quarry had great counter punching ability and could take a man out with one shot. Poor Henry hasn't got a shout here I'm afraid. Quarry KO 5.
