It’s hard to hear him saying Ali can’t punch while looking at that eye.
Came from a clash of heads in the third. Quarry force him against the ropes with a left hook to the body and ali ducked his head and Jerry ran into it. It was a terrible break, but that's boxing. Ali erased all doubt in the return when he nearly beat Jerry to death.
@@ponekingpetch3595 Ali socked him
Later in life after this interview he knew Ali is the GREATEST.
A punch doesn't have to be hard to cause an eye injury. Actually, Ali was never renownwed as a hard puncher. But his hand speed, accuracy and the cumulative effects of his punches are what made him so formidable.
He’s just playing up the sport of it all, he obviously was sort of gaming for a re-match.
He was just upset, Ali's power busted him up in both fights
Nothing happened in those 3 rounds that should make anyone believe that Quarry might have taken Ali out in the next round. Quarry took some clean shots in the 3rd that staggered him. He had little luck catching Ali with anything meaningful during those 9 minutes. So how does he sit there with a straight face telling the media that be could have scored a stoppage if the fight had continued? Does he think that no one saw the fight and wouldn't know how ludicrous his claim was?
he was still daized from ali's punches
It's boxing...you only need 1 punch. Quarry was a hard enough hitter to get it done. His defense stunk, that's why he lost. Marciano is the closest thing to good defense that could go the distance with Ali. Duck and move and get in close. Actually Frazier did that in his win against Ali. Duck, crowd and move. Quarry didn't do that and took a lot of shots. But all Quarry would've needed was one clean shot or a short combo and he could have finished it.
@@chadlpnemt that's true about any fight or fighter. It only takes 1 punch. But it's extremely rare that just 1 punch would take care of business against a fighter of Ali's caliber. Quarry had 2 chances against Ali. Here and again in 1972. He never came close in either fight to landing that 1 punch. There were no miracles to be had.
@@richardweiler3966 Tell that to Henry Cooper, one punch dazed Ali and if the bell hadn't rang Cooper may have gotten the best of that fight. One had to fight Ali with a strategy, like Ali had a strategy. Quarry didn't really do that. Ali beat Quarry, no issue there, but Quarry was no slouch.
@@chadlpnemt all I know is that Ali got up and won that Cooper fight. The bell had nothing to do with it because the count continues after the bell unless it's the final round. Ali was up at the count of 3. Other fighters (Sonny Banks and Joe Frazier) dropped Ali too, but like Cooper, were unable to finish him. One punch wasn't enough. When Ali fought Quarry in 1970, he was far stronger and sturdier than the young Cassius Clay who fought Cooper more than 7 years earlier. Frazier was the only man to knock down the mature Muhammad Ali (the bogus Wepner knockdown was just a blown call by inept referee Tony Perez) and Ali was amazingly up immediately after sampling a left hook from Hell. If Frazier's flush legendary hook couldn't keep Ali down, it's very very doubtful that Quarry had anything in his arsenal that would have finished Ali.
Well sir. Ali just made the ref stop the fight so you still had a Jaw to talk with.
You making a fool of yourself You got beat down and mohammad Ali is the greatest of all time and you know it
It's amazing how all of these commenters are sucking up to a guy that finished last
Quarry had a chin of stone and absolutely no fear. In that sense, Ali’s punches didn’t “hurt” him. But if the fight continued, a bloody and blind Quarry would have been pummeled. And if the ref wouldn’t stop it, Jerry would fight until he died. Still, he should have been more gracious in the interview.
he was good boxer rip quarry
His rematch he received a royal butt kicking...enough said...Ali should've made him kiss his hand & feet at the end😂
quarry was a good guy. he knows ali was better than him but no real fighter is going to admit that until they retire.
@jjosephdubya most do when they lose. In boxing, there's no excuse for not having an excuse. Few ever admit that they truly lost because the other guy was better.
love Jerry but he changed his tune about Ali a little ways down the line....Jerry Quarry was a very skilled fighter and would go through any of today's heavyweights like a dose of salts, but, Ali had that facility to make great fighters look ordinary
I have much respect for this guy my uncle knew him and was good friends with him
No likes haha😂
shame about the dementia he got later on
Quarry's pride took a greater beating than his face.
yeah, his pride in having a black man give him a good whipping in his own home state of georgia.
Jerry Quarry won a lot of Big Fights, but not THE Big Fights.
Well said
Perfect yes
What else could he say? He was helpless against Ali, it must have been a total humiliation, especially as he did well against some of the top contenders of the day.
Jerry Quarry never ducked anyone
He sure didn’t
He was too brave for his own good. He should have fought at light heavyweight.
He never ducked a bottle of cheap liquor either
Quarry was a stew bum
That's true..just look at his eye
thats true just look at the dementia he was suffering from before he died.
"He (Ali) couldn't punch" Says Jerry with a thick and black eye.
I answered this in the above post it was from a clash of heads in the third when Ali ducked his head and Quarry ran into it.
Jesus ,it's a good thing it was stopped,totally outclassed
As joe bugner said after a scrap with Ali.....’they said he were fast,they never said he were like flamin’ greased lightning!’
He can't punch but my eye is swollen 😂
Unfortunately the cut was terrible and stopping the fight was the correct thing to do. Ali was never a heavy hitter but could bust you up with speed and accuracy of punches. He also knocked a bunch of people out in his career so as the rounds progressed it would just meN more stitches for you.
You act like you've been hit by my great Uncle
The great jerry quarry👊
He was great in terms of his heart and fortitude and overall toughness.
@jjosephdubya he was a great contender.
@jjosephdubya Jerry Quarry was an excellent fighter. Is that fair enough for you?
Hahaha...difficult not to believe him that Ali cannot punch but his face tells the truth.
topmark on Jerry's face a third grader could do that's not collateral damage on a professional fighter for God's sake come out of your mom's basement Irish was a warrior Ali was a runner counter puncher he never one to stand and sit in there and take it like a man but he ended up with Parkinson's anyway cuz the rope-a-dope really wasn't anything but making him a dope 💯 no hate Dolly never was the fan I like a warrior with stand and fight big George Foreman absolutely phenomenal Ali never beat him either lactic acid Beach big men George was out of gas💪🤔💥 in fact the punch all they hit him with my grandmother could have pushed him down by the time that it happened George and run out of gas😬 those big muscles are taxing on a big man now back to Jerry if you think that's a problem and somebody beat him up I could show you pictures that would make you just squirrel like a third grade school girl 🤔😁😂
@jjosephdubya now girly boy I'm not a keyboard warrior over 100 amateur victories in Sweden Hungary and many other continents mashing faces and replacing soul such a body snatcher a six-foot-five 265 lb war machine 67 x 32 Irish😁 was not busted up and if you think that's busted up I'll take you hiking with a third grader she'll bust you up now don't get your britches all Titan go take a nap down in Mom's basement you'll be fine sonwith that being said I want you to pace yourself this afternoon just start off with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and work your way up to some meatloaf 😭😉🤗🙄
And that being said quarry ran out of gas against Fraser watch the fight in detail little Irish landed some devastating body shots as well Little Joe had a little more in the tank but the Irishman he was given and taken as well you guys got to be fair there's given taken all fights all fighting is an opportunity depending on the road work the diet the choices you made weeks before the fight and the encouragement dedication and trainers that were there for some Viking might I'm just not brush a little Irish is food choices he drank too much you snorted cocaine and the women used to line up for little lrish by the shitload😘 as each fighter has choice but every time the little Irish went into the fight he gave his heart he ended up giving his brain but nobody's calling him a coward or without talent unless they coming facial Viking war machine and we'll just start out with Twinkies first 😁
@@swedenoble6083 keep dreaming , Ali is the best boxer ever , he destroyed Quarry twice , nearly killing him second fight
@@swedenoble6083 nah Ali never beat him but made sure the white boy got punch drunk with dementia.
Quarry had more guts than brains - he says Ali can't punch while looking like he got hit by a truck that backed up and hit him again.
you sure right about him having no brains should have seen him suffering from dementia
Ali was just too big and fast for Quarry. Their first fight, however, hadn't really warmed up by the time Jerry was cut. It remains to be seen how it would have progressed. Their second fight was much more one-sided and ended any arguments over who was better.
No match for the greatest
Cut too easy to really reach the top
Yes. With him being pummeled defenselessly against the ropes in the 7th round in the rematch in 1972. The ref mercifully stopped it.
He can't punch but your eye is swollen lmao 🤣🤣🤣
That fight wasn't even any contest. Ali was gone for 3 and a half years, came back and put a whipping on Quarry in less than 3 rounds. Quarry landed 4 punches the ENTIRE fight. Sore ( LITERALLY, look at that eye ) Loser.
yeah, quarry ended up punch drunk after the fight with dementia.
This is why there should have been a cruiserweight division quarry was too small for the heavyweights helluva fighter though
Bro got hit so hard he remembers it differently
Ali can't punch..but his face tell everything...r.i.p both legend ali n jerry
Boy stated how he really felt. He never had no respect for Clay. Even after losing to him. Ill give him his props for that
Ali didn't throw big bombs but he threw sharp, hard punches and caught his opponents flush on the mouth. It's painful and jams your neck back. It's damaging but more so demoralizing. Foreman said he could still feel those straight right hands 40 years later. In Ali's prime, those punches were very hard. He busted up Sonny Liston in the 1st fight like he was a bum.
Those liston fights were mobbed controlled
@@titsmcgee7800 The 2nd fight, Liston took a dive. The first one, Clay just whipped his ass.
Where did foreman say that tho?
and anytime you don't any distance in any fight and you're eating left jabs to the face the cheeks and eyes you're going to swell you're going to get cut up and your face is going to look like much but that has nothing to do with power and knocking people out nothing it's called a fight 👍💯💥
Should’ve moved dat head more‼️ But hey it’s not your fault. I watch that jab over & over again from Ali & MAN❗️ it’s quicker than a snakes tongue. Like it was almost impossible to escape his jab. He don’t have to punch 🥊 like a muscle man, he just hit you enough to where when you walk in the city, everybody that never seen the fight will think you got yo ass kicked. Jerry your a great fighter❗️ But Ali got you on this.
One thing people don't realize about ali he wasn't in the ring trying to fight like a cave man with one big knock out punch, ask Chuck wepner,,he would chip and pick his opponents to pieces, ask Forman, liston ,ernie Terrell, Cleveland, quarry and many more .thats worse than a fast knock out,by disassembling fighters
Ali was a showman. He didn’t go out and load up in the first couple rounds. They were jealous of him because frankly, he could get away with taking it easy and clowning.
People should know when they're conquered.
From the movie "Gladiator"
Quintus (played by Tomas Arana)
Well Quarry got a second chance, and Ali toyed with him before TKOing him in 7.
Well, you ''got a break '' in the second fight -- along with a sound ass-whippin that clearly showed you were not in any way a match for Ali.
I remember what Belinda Ali said. They took away all most four years of his prime and when he comes back they put him in with A white man?
@@trentcleghorn6840 at that time, an Ali matchup versus a white fighter was guaranteed to be a box office bonanza. That's one reason they wanted Quarry. Black vs white. Khalilah Ali knew this. She was just pretending to be naive. Before the fight, Ali privately asked Quarry to call him the N word during press conferences, knowing it would really help sell tickets. Quarry refused.
@James Williams Well, ali didn't kill him... wupped him just the same.
@James Williams Quarry had more than enough chances to become champ... just wasn't good enough.
Jerry Quarry was NEVER a sore loser. Just frustrated since his proneness to cuts impaired his magnificent skill set.
@jjosephdubyafr
Ok, bless his mouth!
Ali saves his life wtf
The Nate Diaz of boxing rounds.
That is trash talk
Things were going Jerry’s way. He couldn’t land a clean head shot .... 6-7 body punches.....and the way it was going, Jerry was really getting to Ali’s left hand with his face. In fact, it was possible Ali could have broken his left hand on Jerry’s face after a few more rounds. Still love Jerry in spite of his poor sport rant here.
I met Quarry in Miami after the Rufus Brassell fight. I was a young fighter myself. Quarry wasn't very pleasant or polite. On the other hand, I met George Chuvalo after the Dick Wipperman fight in Ohio. What a nice man George was.
Quarry lol delusional. Ali won all 3 rounds, and the cut was so seep the ref said he could see the bone. Quarry couldn't take Ali out if he had a baseball bat with him.
lol
LOL
Look, I’ve analyzed the fight in great detail. Quarry seems bitter and blowing steam here. He was not in a position to beat Ali at this point.
Ali forgave him in there.
How stupid can a man be?. To loose against a man who can`t punch makes more weak.
He thought, he can take him out in the next round, lovl,hahahahahahahaha. He had no stamina.
And Quarry lost to Paterson who Ali wrecked.
He ant got nothing 🤣🤣 that jab was to swift for you dude
What's your excuse for fight #2 when Ali was toying with you the entire fight. Ali even called the Ref over so save you from further beating. You were a good fighter Jerry, but you were no match for Ali
Quarry is delusional. Quarry was the W. Hope they gave him that fight thinking that Ali was rusty since he was out of the ring for 3 years however Ali had a different plan.
There boxers with thick skulls small brain they fight..and there are boxers wich sting like a bee.
Ali put a hurting on quarry
'' He can't punch " ? Punched the shit out of you !
Ali wasn't a hard puncher. Floyd Patterson only lasted 2 rounds overall from his 2 fights with Liston. In his 2 fights with Ali Patterson went 18 rounds overall.
@@wonjubhoy I think ali carried patterson to punish him.
This guy is bloated arrogant...Ali was being a humanitarian with you, he could have annahilated you, but he didn't
He left that to frazier and norton
Jerry was an excellent fighter,one of the top during that great Era.
A fighter that kept getting sacked will always be remembered as nice guy that's it
Quarry was great but he fought in the golden age of the HW division. There's so many belts now he'd probably own one for a while.
Deluded
Ali couldn't break glass here's the fax I was at the fight Jerry quarry lost all his fights on cuts never being knocked out or going down except a few and none of them are Muhammad Ali when George Foreman went down for Muhammad Ali my grandmother push him down that was lactic acid muscle fatigue Ali is many things a big runner a big mouth a big puncher never was in fact he might be Mayweather the little girls Papa 👍🤗💯
George Chuvalo knocked Quarry down and out. Several other fighters decked him, including Frazier, Patterson and Joe Alexander.
You’re an idiot and know nothing about boxing. Ali won 56 fights 38 By ko or tko he’d have taken your head off key board tough guy lol.
even at that time frame Jerry was a small heavy weight but one thing Jerry always did he came to fight never lied about nothing and it's stacked a lot of broads in the swimming pools and such to he was a lot more of a womanizer the most people know and the boy like to drink a few such as well but what Jerry did he exposed his heart every single fight of his life even when he went into Alzheimer's dementia and worse the Irish little Jerry a fighter not a runner with a big mouth
well...that wasn't exactly inspiring...
To all these geniuses who make the “Ha Ha” bullshit remarks about Jerry Quarry saying that Ali can’t punch but his eye shows he can, you are missing the point by a mile. In his prime, Quarry could get hit by a baseball bat and would say the same thing. Quarry had one of the best chins (and fighting styles) during the Golden Age of the Heavyweights. Ali and Joe Frazier both had punching techniques that would slice through skin quite readily, whereas George Foreman, Ernie Shavers, and Ron Lyle had punches that were tremendously thudding and extremely heavy, but not cutting.
He's delusional
Admire his spunk, though.
😂 MAGA-tude
POOR GUY, NEVER SAW THE TRAIN THAT PASSED OVER HIM!!!
