    Quarry has a real chance to make this an epic and close fight. I see Quarry doing about as well as Walcott in the early going. The Rock will be as close to being koed as he ever will be, from Quarries speed and power.

    Sadly, he will trade with the Rock, and Marciano was one of the hardest hitting men ever. Quarry would have The Rock down twice by round 4, after that the Rock starts to get in his groove.

    No one would outlast the Rock, and Quarry will stand and fight. Marciano wrecks him and bust him up from round 6-9 and the contest is stopped by the corner or a doctor in the tenth.

    Rocky would be 50-0

    He had 38 fights under his belt when he fought Savold and was 27 years old.How about when he went 9rds with Moore and11 with Lastarza, was he prime then?

    Quarry puts on a gutsty display and has moments of success with the hook and counter punching, but the harder punches of rock gradually wears him down. Marciano stops a bloodied but defiant quarry in round 11

    Quarry would do good but eventually get broken down

    He probably has his face blown up by 6 or less.

    Rock had the stamina to go the full 15 rounds, nonstop. The bout would have been close for the early rounds but Rock's stamina along with JQ's lack of defense makes the difference. UD for Rock if not a late round TKO.
