Tommy Hearns vs Jerry Quarry

Quarry KO Hearns quick

 

man, what's with all the quarry threads?? especially against smaller cats!

quarry walks over hearns to get a hotdog from a vendor in the crowd in the first round

 

Next thread is Quarry-Hagler, or Quarry-Duran, or Quarry-Benitez, or Quarry-McCallum.

 

i can handle those but when it's quarry-ricardo lopez, he's going down:twisted:

 

Wasnt there talk of Tyson-Hearns

 

oh man that woulda been scary...

 

Some current thread starters are sure taking Jerry Quarry kinda cheap.

 

If Tommy resorts to the defensive stick and move of his amateur days, he might survive a few rounds but he lacked the endurance to sustain this for 15 rounds against a serious aggressor who could take his best shot in stride. Jerry's body work would crush him in short order. Hearns would need a substantial speed advantage to play with the big boys, and his edge over Quarry in this respect was not that great.

 

Hearns has a chance in this fight.

In this match-up Hearns stands a little taller and has a 6" reach advantage. Hearns carried 190Lbs. well. Quarry's best weight was 195-200Lbs.

Hearns was much faster than Quarry and the far superior boxer.

Quarry had fair power but was not a huge puncher, 32 of his 53 wins were by KO. Hearns had great power, even at CW... 48 of his 61 wins were by KO.

So, what would happen if they met in the ring... prime Quarry vs. almost prime Hearns?

Quarry wouldn't have much problem dealing with a single shot from Hearns but he would have problems dealing with combinations from Hearns. Hearns was fast and accurate. Hearns also had a great jab. Hearns could cut Quarry.

Hearns could be hurt by Quarry but Quarry wouldn't be able to land more than one shot at a time very often... not cleanly anyway. We all know Hearns had a questionable chin but could Quarry crack it enough times cleanly to make it a factor?

I think Hearns wins by decision in a great fight.

 

I'm going with Quarry in this. Tommy was great at his weight, but in over his head with Quarry...in my opinion.

 

There it is, folks, exactly what this thread was looking for... a raving lunatic.

 

Hearns has a fair chance? Of what coming out alive?
This would be over very early 2/3rds at best.

 

Hearns might keep him off for a bit. Far superior boxer, for sure.

However, Quarry, despite his cuts, was durable. Lasted long enough with the likes of Ali and Frazier that I think he would walk Hearns down with his punches. A couple of clean shots and Hearns is done.

 

Sorry,but I find the idea of this match up ridiculoulsy one sided. As soon as Quarry tags Hearns properly,the Hitman goes. Probably by round 5.
