Jack Dempsey V Jerry Quarry?

This. Quarry was an excellent fighter, but Dempsey would crush Quarry. Dempsey is all wrong for Quarry.

 

I like(d) Quarry and enjoy his skill and body of work...but I don’t see him beating Fury or Joshua or even Wilder...not sure how he would be champ today...not in anyway I could envision.

 

Quarry by stoppage about 7th. He would counter Dempsey. Once he backed Jack up its all over. Jerry wasn't a big guy but he carried real heavyweight power without being crude like a Firpo or Brennan.

 

I don't think Brennan was crude at all. Firpo is a different matter...

 

I'm pretty much in agreement with the OP.

Quarry beat better fighters. Quarry beat guys who punched harder than Dempsey.

At cruiserweight, he could be champion today.

At heavyweight, it would be much harder and less likely. Quarry was a superb fighter but i agree he did not have the tools to beat Fury or Joshua. I could see him outboxing Wilder like he did Lyle.

 

With the plaster of Paris wraps? The horse shoes too?

 

Wilder may have trouble holding a job sparring with Quarry. If he can't hold his own then he can't stay in camp. Fury would be a tough matchup. He can box. Joshua? He has a good offense but I don't know if he could handle Jerry putting hands on him.

 

The Mac Foster fight was one of my favorites.

 

Dempsey. Quarry would take too many punches to land one of his own, not a good strategy against a puncher like Dempsey, who also had an underrated defense.

 

And the railroad spike.
