I'm confident that Quarry wins by UD or late rounds stoppage. Remember how Quarry handled big Buster Mathis? I think this fight would unfold similarly. Willard probably hits the canvas a couples times before it's over.

Yeah, Quarry for me too. He would be giving away 6 inches and about 40 pounds but he was much more refined than Willard and I think he would get the job done.

I love Quarry and how he fought in the Golden Era of the Heavyweights, but I'm sorry there was one thing that Willard would beat Quarry other than his big size and that was a cut on Quarry's eyes. If Willard used his long jabs and right hands to cut Quarry's eye opened, then he would stop him in 10 rounds. However, if Quarry used his speed and counterpunching, he would take a decision.

Mark me down as another who feels Quarry's skills beats Willard's size.
