    Jerry Quarry is one of my favorite heavyweights along with Joe Frazier. A true warrior and a soul who never gives up.

    I don't know - he's a good fighter for 6'0 72 inch -not sure if he has enough technique that could penetrate or close the distance an AJ or Fury can make. I think he'd have to rough his way in.

    He'd beat everyone upto the top 4. Then he'd be beaten imo.
