    Quarry vs Tony Tucker and Tony Tubbs. Not at the same time, in separate fights. Can Quarry go 2-0?

    I think Quarry would win over Tucker, but probably not against Tubbs, if all men are at their own peaks.

    Tucker is the Galento of the 80s, their styles are virtually identical. Only difference is that Galento is the superior athlete

    No chance against Tucker, but a decent chance against Tubbs, Quarry was better against guys who would come at him and try to knock him out, he never had much issue with punchers, he was a great counterpuncher, but these 2 wouldn’t really give him as many opportunities.

    I’d say Tucker outclasses him on the outside whilst he gets a stoppage victory over Tubbs with his better infighting.

    Tubbs was really slippery when he put his all into a fight. His biggest issue was inconsistency.

    Why do you say no chance vs Tucker?

    Same, I see him struggle against Tucker.

    That's fair enough. If Ellis could, why not Tucker? Though I will stand firm on my Tubbs pick.

    Too long of a reach and not someone who takes risks, and wouldn’t have to against Quarry, he could just stick the jab and not risk getting countered, all wrong for Quarry.
    Also he’s quality.

    I think both beat him Tucker stops him late. Tubbs blinding speed takes it on points
