    The best version of Quarry vs the best version of Jack Dempsey. Would Quarry have been champion in the Dempsey era?

    No, this goes a bit like the Quarry Frazier fights except Quarry wont be standing when the fight is over.

    Yes Quarry could've won a title then, I just don't favor him over a prime Jack. A Tunney Jack, sure.

    If he focused more on boxing than slugging, he could have more of a chance.

    He didn't have 20 pounds on Dempsey. Quarry in his prime was 195-200 contrasted with a 185ish-190ish Dempsey

    Why would you think Dempsey did not weigh in for fights?
    There are photos of him on the scales for the Sharkey,Brennan,Tunney ,Carpentier,Firpo fights.
    There is footage of Dempsey v Brennan,Willard,Carpentier,Gibbons,Sharkey,Firpo Tunneyx2.
    Plus his later bout with Luttrell and quite a bit of sparring footage.
    How much footage would you need to form an opinion of him?

    "Whats Willard's prudentials?" Love it!!!!lol
    Quarry fought Alix2 ,Ellis,Frazier x2 How many of those did he win?

    I never suggested any of those names can whip Ali,Ellis etc. WTF?
    I've seen photos of Dempsey weighing in for Sharkey Tunneyx2 ,Carpentier,Gibbons,Firpo.
    You implied such ceremonies did not take place.
    ps Patterson drew the first Quarry fight. Scrap Iron Johnson wow!lol

    Well at least you are amusing.

    The gentleman with me in my avatar thought very highly of Quarry.

    Jerry feasted on guys that came to him?
    How come he lost to two,Frazier x2 and Chuvalo.
