    Tough fighter in Quarrey. Against the clubbing, hard punches of Tua.

    Please vote & explain reasoning. Please give predicted result.
    First Round. 10 Rounds.

    Tua KO Quarry.
    too GH'd hence (cause i know this is not enough here) too tough , strong , powerful , whatever.
    darroll wilson was also very strong and GH'd himself. had a great physique.
    but it didn't help him with tua.
    seeing this fight , it really seems wilson could last the 1st rd , but he didn't.
    brawling tua is not smart.
    quarry wasn't ibeabuchi's size , and ibeabuchi himself started a round or two with running from tua , which irroneously scored for him.
    ibeabuchi is not a good example of how to beat tua , cause his victory is doubtful. he is a bad example to how you can last tua if you have the physical attributes , and still a not recommended way.
    Quarry a small cw , gets KO'd by tua sometime fo sho..

    Quarrey did have the skills to beat Tua to the punch constantly. If he can stay out of the way of David's bombs, he might scrape by with a decision win.

    Quarry gave Frazier and Patterson all they could handle in the trenches, and they had mean left hooks too. He was also physically strong enough to back up the 220 lb Lye and land the harder blows. Very competitive fight, I would slightly favor a busy Quarry to take a hard fought decision. Otherwise, Quarry gets injured or gasses late leading to a stoppage loss; he was much more vunerable than Tua in that regard and it could be his undoing. Very tough call.

    How does Tua make a Heavyweight Tournament ?? He was one dimensional Shite, Laurence Clay Bey was way better than him, as was Ibeabuchi, Byrd, Witherspoon, Tucker, Dokes, Lyle, Moorer, Bowe ..

    Tua gets way too much props, its gota be that groovy haircut he had in the 90s ......

    Tua wins by TKO or KO in a brutal fight not unlike the first Frazier one, where he lands some good shots, but ultimately succumbs to superior firepower and durability of his opponent.

    I am not so sure David would win, If we are talking about a younger version of Jerry, Yes he was full of mistakes but the Quarry that beat Shavers,Lyle and Mac Foster was a master of beating the powerfull, slow punchers. Quarry may taste the canvas but I think he had enough of a solid chin and some good boxing ability to out manuver Tua...David is heavier but slower but also at 5"10 is 2 inches shorter than Jerry...Quarry SD 10
