    I would immediately telephone the police about the gunman, if that were possible. If that were not possible, I would try to preamble my answer with consideration of the possibilities out loud, thinking aloud to myself to try to read the gunman for his preferred answer - then I would give that answer, but cautiously, the idea being that i'm not expert and what do I know really? I'd immediately ask him what he thinks the second i'd delivered the answer then i'd make a point of silently considering what it was he had said.

    Beterbiev probably was a lean 195lbs at his best, size wise Beterbiev isn’t much, if at all smaller than Quarry.

    Most of the top competition Quarry fought and beat would beat Beterbeiv.
    Beterbeiv wouldn't have a significant size advantage. Quarry fought in a much more competitive era.
    Quarry would school and stop him .
    And yes, very easy.

    Jerry was used to fighting big, dangerous guys, despite being a natural cruiserweight. We haven’t seen Artur in with Ali, Lyle, Chuvalo, etc. This post is an insult to Quarry.
