Prime Jerry Quarry (1967 1970) vs Prime Ike Ibeabuchi (97 2000 ¿?)

Ike tears him apart ... while he did not prove himself in the ring (yet) to be the man that beats a prime Lennox Lewis, I feel we did see enough to determine he would have had the size, strength, chin, power, speed and stamina to overwhelm Quarry ..

 

Quarry already shows how he responds under pressure...

Ibeabuchi via either cuts and/or TKO.

 

In top form I'd have to favor Quarry.

 

I know Quarry seemed like a Giant Killer-in terms of power fighters he took out-but Ike had an Adamantine chin. He Grant (I upgraded him to caps ;-)) is right.

If Tua who hit him endlessly for 12 rounds, likely more volume than Quarry ever threw, often flush, & harder than Quarry ever could did not end him...
Ike is going to be taken out, latest in the middle rounds.

 

I'm now even more confident in my pick.

 

Has to be Ike. I don't fancy a little guy trying to slug with Ibeabuchi. Yeah Quarry beat Lyle but I think Ibeabuchi is bigger, stronger, better and with more stamina.

 

The Ike that banged out with Tua would stop him.

 

This, if Tua couldn't faze Ike Quarry won't either. Be a great fight but Quarry drops a UD or gets stopped

 

Quarry might have been the better overall fighter for various reasons but stylistically I think Ike might be a bad match for him
