    Both of these names are henceforth banned for the week...That is right absolutely no more Quarry and/or Dempsey threads for a full 7 days and nights! Use of their names is also henceforth restricted as well by the above rule.

    But Dempsey wins quite easily....starting...NOW!

    COME ON! YOU Mother****ers NEED TO STOP!!! Quarry was a decent fighter, not a great one. He managed to get a few good wins over fighters who were either once good or would become good. IMO, he didn't beat any top fighter during that fighters prime.

    He drew with and beat a past prime Patterson.

    He beat Lyle before Lyle peaked.

    He stopped Shavers but even Ron Stander and Tex Cobb stopped Shavers.

    Who else did he beat? He looked like **** vs. the best fighters he faced.

    All you turds think Dempsey is **** so I thought it was an interesting fight for the forum. I know Dempsey blows him out in a few rounds but he also destroys most heavyweights.

    Quarry does push George Foreman's **** in though. Much more skilled and tough fighter.

    I officially retract my welcome in the post above! On a second note I have not uttered so much as a derogotory word against Dempsey on this forum!

    Well **** you then go have a cry you little *****. I didnt say you specifically but you know most people in here unfairly downgrade him which is such a shame.

    a straight forward, predictable brawler against a sharp shooting, master counter puncher and it's a recipe for success

    This is actually a good fight and noway 1 that Dempsey dominates, Dempsey probably has never beat an opponent as good as Jerry Quarry

    Quarry is better technically than Dempsey and makes less mistakes, his punches aren't as telegraphed as Dempsey's can be and he has a jab. Dempsey is the better puncher overall though and maybe has the better stamina. Quarry is bigger with an iron chin

    Dempsey has the better stamina here though, so for that reason he has the edge as the fight progresses

    Cut it anyway you want but Quarry probably beat better fighters than Dempsey and Dempsey also got dominated against his best opponent. He also drew against Miske, lost to Meehan and got KO'd by Fireman Flyn and resorted to cheating to beat Sharkey

    Also Quarry looked **** against Frazier? I take you haven't seen that fight, the bigger Frazier had to walk through fire to get the win

    If Quarry didn't have to fight black fighters to become champion and keep the championship how long would he have been champ for?

    And refused to fight the other two best fighters of his era.

    If Quarry didn't have to fight Ali and Frazier? Had an excuse to avoid black fighters in Norton, Ellis etc.

    Definite ATG.
