    I just actually rewatched the fight .. really enjoyed it .. Quarry still had a lot left but was not in great shape and was not the guy have was a few years ago .. this was one of Norton's best fights .. he certainly got hit by a credible puncher and did not pull one of his freezing acts .. Quarry was never a Shavers/Foreman type hitter but he could wack and he did land and Norton took them .. fascinating fight .. maybe a prime Jerry does beat him maybe not .. it seemed cuts were always an albatros for Quarry to deal with ..

    Norton looked great vs Quarry. He also looked great vs Stander, who had a moment vs Joe Frazier.

    Quarry likely past his best doesn't take away from Norton's brilliance.
