I would please like to know how good was Jerry Quarry's jab? Was his jab good, stiff or average?

Right hand

Thanks.

This sounds like fun. I don't know the difference between stamina and durability especially with chin in there.

Style 7
Skills 7
Left hook 8
Right hand 6
Power 7
Power Punch 7
Strength 6
Stamina 6
Durability 6
Footwork 7
Body Attack 8
Ring Generalship 6
Defence 5
Chin 6
Jab 5

I always thought his chin was overrated.

Thanks.

Quarry's jab was nowhere... Otherwise he beats George Chuvalo in a walk... has an easier time with Floyd Patterson... and stays with Jimmy Ellis.

Even Frazier out-jabbed Quarry. Eddie Machen out-jabbed Quarry... Machen was a 1950's Heavyweight who was fading... and he didn't have an excellent one.

Although he didn't have a jab himself, Quarry could counter the jab with a right or left hook.. If you put strength on your jab he could read it -- like Shavers, Lyle, Mac Foster, Tony Doyle, Buster Mathis, and Thad Spencer -- Quarry put counters on them.. Norton had a fair jab and Jerry couldn't read it.
