Jerry Quarry vs Max Schmeling

Schmeling gives Quarry a boxing leason.

 

I'm thinking Max would enforce the distance and tempo he wanted with his educated left hand and then pick his spots to punish Quarry with his brilliant straight right. Quarry had the edge in chin and good skills in his own right, but Schmeling sure knew how to stay disciplined with a game plan and he was better conditioned.

 

max gets the nod

Schmeling by UD

 

Quarry, close decision in a good fight.

 

Max was cooler, more disciplined and consistent, and the energy he displayed during and after his 15th round dispatching of Stribling surpasses Jerry's 12th round finish of Spencer.

I think Schmeling would be able to impose his counter-punching preference on an increasingly anxious JQ by steadfastly standing his ground and inducing Jerry to initiate, drawing him into Max's right. Schmeling would make JQ commit first.

This is going to be a chess match, and Max wasn't the guy one wanted to play that game against.

Based on what?

 

This is how I would call it also.

 

At his peak Schmeling weighed 194 whereas Quarry was at 195. Therefore, no size difference.

As for skill, hate to say it but the only way Quarry could stop a punch was with his jaw. Schmeling found a way to use his punch to KO Louis which is something no one else could do when the Brown Bomber was in his prime. People often overlook the fact that Schmeling started his career in 1924, had been boxing for 14 years, and was past his prime when he took on Louis in their return bout. We all know what happened next.

Quarry had his moments in his career. But I have to give the edge to Schmeling in this bout which, indeed, would have been very entertaining.

 

Here we go again. Quarry was a 6' 200 Lber... he lacked more than just size. He lacked durability. Yes, he had a good chin but he was stopped more than a few times. It doesn't matter how, he was stopped, you don't get a free pass on just because you are prone to cuts.

Quarry lost a lopsided decision to equally sized and past prime Eddie Machen. He was stopped by similar sized Chuvalo (not on cuts). He was dropped by a past prime Patterson and was lucky to get a draw and a win vs. the under 200 Lb Hall of Famer. Got his ass handed to him (twice) by the under 6' and not much over 200 Lb Hall of Famer Joe Frazier.

Quarry was good, far from great, and wouldn't have been in any era.
