    If Liston lands a hard power shot, he stops him.
    If Foreman lands, he stops him.
    If Tyson lands, he stops him.
    etc etc etc
    Plenty will KO Quarry.

    That’s why Foreman didn’t fight him?

    Those are all valid reasons/excuses but collectively it still shows Quarry had great success against the slugger type. He also fought a lot of peak/prime contenders, regardless of outcome I think Jerry would be a tough out. Only Ali whose style was a nightmare for Jerry made easy work of him.

    when I mean KO, I mean no one would floor Quarry for the count. I completely agree. If Liston, Foreman, or Tyson (and plenty of others like you say) met Quarry, they could stop him fast. Afterall, he was stopped five times in his career. Quarry was just too tough to take a ten-count.

    Forget him Johnny B, it's not true anyway. You're a pretty good poster, and even if you don't make a lot of posts of have a pic for profile, doesn't prove anything. If he (or anyone else for that matter) can't take somebody else's opinion respectfully, the heck with them, right?

    Sonny was very long on the tooth in 68 and Quarry was prime .. I think Jerry has a terrific shot in this one .. prime for prime, Liston huge ..

    I have provided you with countless arguments and you can't accept any.
    And I didn't start any thread about Sharkey, someone else did when I said I could beat him.

    Again I put down every your argument and comment you post here with simple facts!But again when I do that you start insulting which proves that troll is the troll!
    You start with...I am bigger,I would beat him....yeah and I would beat Marciano...only in my dreams!
    You started with winning against HOFamer and not the ordinary but with HW HOFamer from the golden era who beat Wills,Schmelling,Goodfrey,Walker...gave Louis and Dempsey helll...yeah sure you would beat him!

    Only nobody did. Jerry took the count against George Chuvalo because he misheard it.

    George is on record as saying he avoided Quarry.
