George Foreman vs Jerry Quarry

You know, there´s a difference between just making fun sometimes (for me personally it´s better) and what he does. Look also what he writes about the fighters, "Quarry was slow", etc...

I like both George and Quarry.

When George was training / fighting at the Olympics, Quarry was fighting in the WBA Hvywt tourney....Jerry was about 4 years ahead of George as a pro.
If they had sparred during that time it is not surprisiing Quarry might have come out on top.

But the window of Jan 1974 -June 1974 we are talking a different story.
Quarry should have got a shot at George after beating Shavers, but they gave him Frazier in June which was a bad matchup for him.

George gets the standard "TV" fight against Roman, then crushes Norton who many people thought beat Ali the second time.

The public wanted Ali-Foreman next.

If George had fought Quarry, Foreman would have been at the top of his game.

George is just too big and powerful....with 3 inches in height and 10 inches or so in reach advantages.

George in 5 rds....with Quarry trapped on the ropes when the ref stops it.
