    Quarry was certainly stiff to be born at the wrong time. May well have won a title in different company.

    Randall "Tex" Cobb....his chin, after 15 rds of abuse by Holmes, ran Cosell right out of boxing.

    That fight should of made "Tex" champion of something.

    How about Archie Moore????????????? He offered as much, if not more, than most HW champs pre- 50s. I think the late 20s- early 30s could have been welcoming him, as most contenders were in the same weight.
