Muhammad Ali vs Jerry Quarry 26-10-1970 2-2

Round 3- Ali sets down on his punches more this round and the fight looks like it's really starting. Quarry Wings left hooks and connects with some body shots. The fight looks like it's gonna get interesting, but all of a sudden after an Ali punch blood starts flowing from Quarry's eye. Ali punches the eye and it's a real mess. Ali's Round 10-9 (30-27) Ali

Between rounds 3 and 4 the doctor stops the fight because of the cut to Quarry's eye.
Ali-TKO 3

This fight really was never given a chance to get going. Ali seemed to have his speed still but his endurance wasn't tested. Quarry was apologetic almost that the fight couldn't go on, but his old nemesis the cut was causing problems again. Quarry would get another chance at Ali in another year and fight many more top fighters. Ali proved he still had skills, it was still a question to see if he could come back to his old form and beat the new champ Smokin Joe Frazier.

ali had 2 b the greatest boxer, he never fought a bum, jerry quarry was 1 of the best boxers in his time had to b in the top 10 of the 60s and early 70s

Yes, he stopped Shavers in 1. Ali looks better here than against Bonavena and Frazier for sure. Mind you, Quarry was a counter-puncher, those other guys went right after Ali and crowded him.

@PeekaPeep the man slugged with shavers and KO'ed him, nuff said, lol only flaw he had was bad skin, he get cut easy

[PeekaPeep]

@jihad129108 At his absolute peak ('69-'73), only Ali and Frazier were better than Quarry. Even Foreman knew better than to face the likes of him then, especially after what he did to sluggers like Mac Foster, Ron Lyle, and Earnie Shavers. He was also far and away the best counterpuncher in the heavyweight division back then. I agree with others on here that his size would've made him a natural cruiserweight today and most likely would've gotten himself a world title. He certainly had the goods.

Ali looks great here, after 3 years off, and for a heavyweight he still moves super fast and can still move.

@boscobear33 You are right,if there was a cruiserweight division then.He would have been champ.However he was a tough 195 pounder.

Ali should have a fin on his back like a shark.Count how many shots he hits Q uarry above the eye after he cuts him.Ali was a great finisher!!!
