Quarry VS Marciano

You´re sad that Marciano, with a record of 49-0-0 was white, right? Get over it, boy, find some new excuses because of the losses of your man Tyson...

 

It is one thing to beat each of them under the same conditions. Quite another to beat all of them under the same conditions.

 

Yeah limited lateral movement spells curtains for the old girl.

 

Rocky destroys quarry,just a bad bad matchup for jerry all around

 

dave krieg doesn't like Tyson either by the way.

 

Well, it doesn´t interest me what fighters he likes/ prefers, but he have to stop writing such a racist bull****. He don´t have to love Marciano, but what he writes is really not normal anymore...

 

You forget Marciano fought those guys when they were near or past their 40s. Ezzard Charles being the youngest of them at 33 but was already past his prime by then. His 4 best opponents were:

Louis - 37
Walcott - 39
Moore - 41
Charles - 33

Career wise these guys are above Quarry as you said, BUT career and legacy wise only. But at the point in time in which Marciano fought them, they aren't in the level of Quarry, they were old and past it. Marciano's best weight was at 185+ and he feasted on Light heavy weights, Quarry's best weight was 200+ and duked it out with true 210+ monsters. With Quarry's chin, grit and determination he can easily prevail over Marciano. Quarry had enough power to match Marciano, add to this Quarry could box, in terms of being more of a pure boxer Quarry was the better man. The only thing Marciano has over Quarry is power, but its not as if it was overwhelmingly more power than Quarry, as I said Quarry had more than enough power to match Marciano, not to mention is the more naturally bigger man. Everything else Quarry had the advantage or was equal. If Lowry could go the distance two times(it is documented in the first fight Lowry actually beat Marciano) against Marciano, im betting Quarry could too, and win the decision too. 12 or 15 round UD for Quarry. Despite having great power I don't think he could knock Quarry out which would be the only way Marciano could win.

 

Quarry by mid to late tko.

 

I would see this fight unfolding along the lines of Frazier-Quarry I, with Quarry boxing and countering well during the early rounds. As Frazier took everything Quarry threw and kept coming forward, I believe Marciano would do the same, grinding Quarry down to a middle-rounds stoppage. Quarry had very good skills and posted some impressive wins over top contenders, many of them being upsets, as with Mac Foster, and Ron Lyle. But I think Marciano would out-tough him, although if Jerry started trading it could produce fireworks while it lasted.

 

Old woman in wheelchair wins 80% of her fights against Rocky's opponents.

 

Pretty much agree.

Anybody that thinks this is a mismatch in Marciano's favor is way, way off.

 

Actually, I think this would be a competitive, exciting fight tho I don't see Quarry coming out on top. I've greatly admired Jerry since reading about him the first time after his draw with my beloved Patterson at the Olympic in June 67.
My reasoning is thus:
1) I've always maintained that Jerry's punching power is a bit overrated. Outside of Shavers (a fight I still consider a bit of an anomaly) what legitimate ranked contender did he ever knock out?
We all know the Rock could bang, hard enough to stop Jerry? IMO no but by the end of the fight, I see the Rock putting the hurt on him.
2) Jerry was prone to cuts, outside of the split nose thing with Ezz, was Marciano ever in any serious trouble cut-wise?
3) IMO Rocky was a better boxer and defensive fighter than people give him credit for. Jerry could box....until he got clocked big-time and then all that went completely out the window.
I see some great toe-to-toe action early on but tho Jerry may have the whiskers to go the distance (if not cut) he certainly didn't have the power to get Rocky out of there...
Result: Marciano UD, probably wide with no one disputing the call.

 

I think that Marciano would overwhelm the brave Jerry in a firefight, but ultimately the Rock would be the victor.

 

Quarry was convinced he would have won this fight,I never have been.
I think Rocky eventually stops him in an entertaining brawl,a slightly slower version of the first Quarry Frazier fight with the same outcome, but maybe a couple of rounds later.

 

I think this would be an exciting fight but with an air of inevitability about the outcome pretty much from the start. Jerry Quarry would not beat Rocky Marciano, period.

Marciano was tougher, a better puncher, just a better fighter all round, with a better defence than given credit for. The Rock by mid round stoppage, and Quarry would never be the same again.
