Jerry Quarry vs. Oscar Bonavena

Just as a side note: Gil Clancy said that when preparing for the second Frazier fight, the plan was for Quarry to outbox Joe like he did Lyle. All of Jerry's sparring revolved around moving away from the left hook and countering. Clancy said the very first good shot Quarry got hit with, he forgot all about the plan and tried to slug with Joe.

 

Let's not forget that Oscar was decked twice by Ellis, and often on the run against a Ellis as well.

 

Who got counted out and who didn't?

 

Let's not forget that Oscar took a prime frazier 15 rounds and gave him a good fight.. Quarry was torn to pieces in 5...

 

Let's not forget that Oscar lost to Floyd in Patterson's next-to-last fight, and that Lyle also beat Oscar. What prime contenders did Oscar beat? None, unless you want to count Chuvalo. Quarry beat Spencer (rated # 1) Mac Foster (24 and 0), Mathis, Shavers in one, and Lyle, who was undefeated at the time. Quarry was better.

 

Let's not forget that Oscar beat chuvalo who knocked quarry out.. Let's also not forget that quarry's wins over an aged Patterson were robberies.. And I think we'd be remiss in leaving out the fact that Lyke was more experienced when he met bonavena than he was against Quarry. Oscar beat Karl Mildenberger in the 1967 heavyweight elimination tourney suggesting he was ranked. He beat leotis Martin, Alvin Lewis, an aged folley, Larry middleton. He beat plenty of good fighters and lasted longer against common conquerors than Quarry did. Incidentally I already said earlier in this thread that quarry has the better resume . For me it's about styles.

 

bonavena stops him just like chuvalo did

 

:rofl :rofl idiots like this guy pick like a lotery but he does not know even who is bonavena

 

That's a very Jerry story. He and his family were some of his tooughest opponents.

 

The Chuvalo knockut was very odd, I dont give it a ton of weight. An example of him going Jerry.

 

WHO YOU TALKING IDIOT, THE MAN VOICED AN OPINION ****HEAD, NOT ANOTHER WEB INSULTER, COWARD , NOT ANOTHER ONE, YU HAVE NOTHING DECENT TO SAY TO ANYBODY STAY OFF, THE POST, YU BEEN TOLD, WHAT HE SAID WAS RIGHT, WHO'D FRANKENSTEIN BEAT, HE SURE WASN'T GETTING IN THERE WITH QUARRY !!! now he's a champ, to me he's the low life who bit the dust in Nevada, after shooting off his mouth, took his mouth to a gunfight

 

I do not know the full story here, and I wish I did. But I heard that Al Blue Lewis floored Oscar twice in Buenas Aires before friendly ref saved Oscar and disqualified Lewis. Cannot vouch for the story as I cannot find a first hand account of it. Lewis was a very tough guy and I personally heard Dundee say that he would never let Ellis go near Al. No one, seemed in a rush to fight him, but Ali did beat him in Ireland.

 

Lyle fought both and said Oscar hit harder.

 

you think Maybe Foreman hit harder than ALI ?

 

some good points:good
