    Quarry lost to a lot of good guys, but that's about it. Joe would blow him away.

    It should be noted that Louis broke his hand in the Farr fight and had it in a cast for some weeks after. It could be argued that he did well to maintain control of the fight enough to take the decision.

    Also although Louis does not look like the killer of legend during this fight he did actualy bust Farr up prety badly. Moreso than you would have thought watching the film.

    Incidentaly Farr unlike Quarry is a fighter who might actualy have been a fairly short shot to win the title in the mid 30s. None of the champions of that period managed a particularly emphatic win over him.

    This fight is a mismatch. Louis was better in every single category. I do think that Quarry would give him a tough fight because he was extremely tough, he would just be outmatched here. The style of Louis is all wrong for Quarry because both inside and outside, hes at a disadvantage.

    I agree that Quarry was all but made for Louis. He just doesn't have an eccentric style which might have confused Louis for a while. I see this one as a brutal and fairly early knockout, depending on how long Jerry can take it.
