How do you think this fight would go down? I think if Quarry's Irish got the best of him and he tried to slug it out he'd wind up getting TKO'd or KO'd around round 4. He he boxed smart he might be able to get a decision but would probably wind up TKO'd around 8-10.
Jerry would be in WAY, WAY over his head in this one. If you thought Frazier got the better of him, the beating he would have recieved from Marciano would have exceeded any he got in his actual career. A 6 or 7 round stoppage with Jerry being on the deck at the end. The key factor would have been the intense pressure from Marciano and Jerry's tendency to want to slug. Slugging with Marciano would have been suicide for Quarry.
Marciano would bust Quarry open and win on a blood stoppage in four or five rounds against the ridiculously brave, but outgunned Bellflower Belter.
Quarry just doesn't have the power to do much against Marciano, nor is he even much bigger than Marciano. Few pounds, and that's at Quarry heaviest.
Bad fight for Quarry,Marciano would love a slugfest(Vingo) In this fight you may see Quarry take the count like Layne
Quarry knocks Marciano out with a right hand after a slow paced jabfest on the outside. There'd be lots of feinting and dancing; a fairly dull fight, really.
I don't know if Quarry would be able to weather the storm against Rocky, but he certainly had better credentials than just about any prime opponent that Marciano beat. Jerry had impressive career wins over Shavers, Lyle, Mathis, Bodell, Patterson, Spencer, Foster and Zanon all of whom were ranked contenders when he beat them. In my opinion, Jerry had a better resume than just about anyone who never won a world title, and even better than some lineal champions.
Quarry went on record as saying he was positive he would win this one,I can't agree,Marciano had more power in both hands ,was at least as durable as Jerry ,had phenomenal stamina,and strength. Quarry had the edge in hand speed ,but so did most of Rocky's opponents,Rocky grinds the Irishman down to a walk,stopping him in the 10th,after a gutsy display by Quarry.
Absolute piffle. Walcott Charles and Moore were all a league above Quarry. Even sombody like Rex Layne could theoreticaly be ranked on a par with him.
If neither fighter gets cut badly, I see this fight going to the cards as both had tremendous chins and hearts. I'm not 100% sure who would take the decision but I'm leaning towards Marciano.
Marciano fought only shot, washed up LHW´s, whether Quarry was in the godly Ali era, so I would say Quarry would easily KO that bum Marciano in the midrounds after a bloody massacre Rocky suffered...
