    Quarry beats them all at his best. Sleepy Quarry like when he fought Chuvalo could get beat by Baer Scmeling or Sharkey at their best.

    I love Jerry but I think versus Schmelling he would be out of his depth.
    My man Max outboxed and outpunched Joe Louis; thus, I am confident he beats the best Jerry version handily, and slaps silly any other version.

    Against all the others, Jerry has the uppoer hand.

    Some of the old-timers oversell Quarry a bit for mine but he could certainly fight. Box, punch, & take it. He’s a great chance to beat anyone on this list. Perhaps only Schmeling would I favour. It’s debatable with Baer & Sharkey though.

    Sharkey outboxes him as well.
    Carnera's long jab is quite the hassle and Carnera himself could go 11 rounds taking nuclear bombs from Baer and on a broken ankle, I don't think Quarry does the job but he has a chance.
    Baer is dangerous but here Quarry's counter punching style truly finds it's mark. I see him both winning and losing against Max depending on what he gets hit with. As sloppy as Max was, in 15 rounds he could land something.
