    LOOK! Of course 1920 Demps. is gonna get the votes and probably prevail over a '70 Quarry in a time machine, but Quarry's style and size and skin color fits well into 1920s boxing..........
    :deal:bbb

    Prime Quarry is no picnic for Dempsey.... That has "WAR" written all over it... Dempsey's skin was tougher, so my guess is that Quarry would be the bleeder early on....

    Dempsey gets a TKO between rds 12 thru 15.... Quarry's game, but sliced and diced to ribbons...
    :yep

    Quarry certainly has more strength to get Dempsey off him and a great chin

    '20 Demps would be 2 to 1 at best over '70 Quarry..... Gamblers of the 1920s would be impressed had a 1970 Quarry been around back then.... Quarry would have faithful betters loading up on him.... No **** there...

    I know one thing - this has quite possibly the best first round I've ever seen in heavyweight history!! A Quarry on fire and really digging his heals in like this would be a tough tough fight for anyone

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqGZIYpOF9M[/ame]

    I'd maybe guess that Quarry's level was probably somewhere similar to Bill Brennan's best (shown below versus Demps) - and Brennan gave Demps a decent tussle

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFxcNfXMA60[/ame]

    on the whole I see Dempsey as far too good and far too ruthless and far to vicious - he'd do anything to win and he'd relish a slugfest - he might get a little frustrated if Quarry tried to box him but I think Quarry is to much of a tough guy to pass up the offer of a slugging match with the greatest slugger of them all - in the end Dempsey too fast of hand and foot, too ruthless, too powerful - but great fight while it lasted - Dempsey in 5 or 6 rounds

    Quarry would put up a game fight but ultimately he gets beaten up and knocked out.

    No, it's because he failed to fight the two best fighters of his time, was very inactive as a champ, and got thoroughly outclassed by the third best boxer of his time, twice. :good

    Frazier really kicked the **** out of Quarry didn't he?


    I think yeah, Tunney probably was the second best fighter pound four pound, yeah, and a better HW than Greb, so you'd have to rank it as failing to fight two of the three best of his time, very inactive as champ, throughly outclassed by the second best boxer of his time :lol:

    Excuses or not, the 1926 Demps. up in Pittsburgh was in decent / okay shape but claiming sour stomach prior to meeting Tunney in the ring there. A loss for Demps. was a given...

    BUT! In 1927 it is obvious that Dempsey was way better tuned and focused, but Tunney was just too spry for Dempsey and got the decision again....

    Doc Kearns pissed away a lot of Dempsey's money and stalled his career with inactivity. However, Dempsey had gone Hollywood by then and married Stella Taylor which was not good to his boxing career.
