Jerry Quarry v Henry Cooper 1968

bloody hell steve this is shommel territory.quarry would annhialate cooper

 

i think cooper would have done as well as bodell:?

 

I think Quarry would have stopped Cooper cold...no tko on cuts.

 

Body shot, body shot, body shot.

KO 3.

And they enjoy a couple of 'pints' afterwards.

 

no.cooper was too bad a loser

 

Is Cooper written off a little too easily here, he did better against Ali for 1 thing, obviously styles make fights and Quarry did better against an older Patterson who starched Cooper...I gave Quarry the edge like the rest of you but wonder if this maybe a style/level for Cooper to do well against

 

you blokes are NUTS ,
1 Cooper did knockdown Ali, bloodied his 1 nose ,
and did hurt him seriously .
QUARRY was toyed with , cut up , and destroyed twice by Ali !
I imagine , this would b 1 excellent scrap . 1 tht cooper wud surely win.
Ali of 63, was better then 1 post exile 1.
Fact. Cooper,
was 1 excellent fighter , who did beat good fighter in his prime .
Cooper by TKO.

 

gee with a name like sirhenrycooper was there any doubt who you would favor in this matchup LOL

 

In 68 quarry has an edge because cooper was just over the top, its no white wash though. In 68' cooper beat mildenburger into retiremant and the german was only taken out of the wba tournement on points by oscar bonnavena the previous year.

In 1968 quarry went the full distance with 4-8-1 willis earls and was only 94-91 on the cards with one judge against a guy who had already been knocked out 6 times in the last 12 months. so its not like quarry was hot **** that year.

The 1960-63 version of cooper would be a very even match.

 

choko,

Yes, Jerry was very bad with Willis Earls, who had earlier been flattened by
old man Sonny Liston.

Though Earls had a bad record, he was a wild-swinging club-fighter with power.
In mid-1968, Jerry suffered a water-skiing accident in California, so he was not
rushing into anything.
He was working his way back.
A late-1968 bout with Ol 'Enry may have been tougher than I thought.

 

"Just edged out"??? Have you ever seen that fight? Bonavena kicked Mildenbergers ass.

 

Yes,,,,,,,,,,OSCAR,,,,,,,,,clobbered Milde'.

The embarrassing thing, Karl was rated #1 by the WBA,,,,,,,,,atsch
