Yeah, he had a lot going for him Swag, didn’t he? Actual 100% desire is such an important component to a boxer’s game. We only have to look to the performance of Buster “For One Night Only” Douglas for the best exemplification of that fact.
At their respective best ? Quarry is all wrong for Joe. Jerry is going to sit back and counter, timing Bugner's jab with lead rights and follow up left hooks. On his night, Bugner could have a fight, but he's not handling Jerry Quarry inside. Good, fast paced fight between two really excellent Heavyweights but a fairly clear nod to Quarry I reckon.
JOE BACKPEDALS IN last round of BOUTS he's losing, no way he beats Quarry. Common Opponents QUARRY'S LIKE 13-5-1 (7 ko's) vs Bugner's opponents , Bugner like 6-7 (2 ko) Vs Jerry's!
I get what you’re saying but most of the rounds were hard fought and pretty close, but that Bugner wouldn’t be getting as pressured against Quarry as he was against Frazier. I still take Quarry though, but I think it would be close.
