Heavyweights: Jerry Quarry (1969) vs George Foreman (1991)

[elmersalsa]

Who wins? Prime Jerry Quarry vs the second coming of George Foreman who fought the great Evander Holyfield?

[goose 5]

You thought of a terrific one ! I'd take Foreman by tko around the 8th round.

[f read]

George by knockout. Jerry is a tough game opponent but George would overwhelm him. The power is the equalizer. George stops him inside 10 rounds.

[oogiebe]

Old George would smash Jerry to bits.

Can this version of George Foreman, bigger, stronger, with better stamina but slower beats a prime Jerry Quarry of the late 60s and early 70s?

What could Quarry do to win this fight? Fight like Evander Holyfield and Tommy Morrison did to him? Can Jerry fight that way?

Quarry outboxed Lyle without any problems. He could deal with the old version of Foreman.

Yeah, Lyle was a pro for all of two years when he lost to Quarry. Great comp.

[elmersalsa]

Even if Jerry Quarry goes toe to toe with Big George, (no matter what version) it would be suicide. I think that Quarry's best chance is to box and move side to side like Evander Holyfield and Tommy Morrison did. I don't see him beating Big George in a slugfest.
