I didn't. I just responded to the discussion, as I assume you did. But you are the one who plowed through Quarry's record to separate out black...
What is your point? Quarry was highly rated. So were Bonavena, Peralta, Mildenberger, and Chuvalo and all did better in the ring against the ATG...
If this is directed at me, I picked Quarry over Bugner.
You brought up the black and white stuff. Don't see most of the points you are trying to make here. Of the white fighters listed in the original...
"It's insulting" I don't see why it is insulting to Quarry to say I think he loses to Bonavena, Mildenberger, Peralta, and Chuvalo, but it is...
Thanks for going through Quarry's entire record to sort out black from white fighters. (although is the issue whether a guy is a good fighter or...
I think choklab's point about Comiskey and Retzlaff is well taken. The fighters listed by name appeared in the Ring Magazine Annual Rankings...
I rate Frazier above Dempsey, but it all comes down to "easily" doesn't it. Bottom line is Bonavena and Bugner gave Frazier much tougher fights....
My take is Quarry seems to be the most overrated fighter on this board. I heavily favor Marciano by a KO.
I remember an article decades ago in I think Boxing Illustrated in which Quarry said he thought he could handle Dempsey, but actually had a higher...
Something I haven't mentioned. There is a clock on the tape of the fight. Quarry goes down at 33:45. He gets to his feet at 33:57. I counted...
my bottom line is Walcott was competitive with everyone he fought after WWII. The best of this group, Ellis and Quarry, were not competitive with...
"I'm not arguing that Quarry didn't blow it." Hard to see what point you're making then. Both Clayton and Dunphy explained after the fight that...
"the other card had it 3-3 (gee I wonder whose card that was)" It wasn't the referee's. He was interviewed by Don Dunphy in the ring and Dunphy...
I don't see this fight as a fluke, but even if you do, the fault is entirely Quarry's. The referee did nothing wrong.
