What a finisher .....much respect.....Mr quarry

Although he'd just come off those two wins against Shavers and Lyle, I wonder if this was around the time when the many hard fights and tough losses finally caught up with Jerry. Just over a month later he lost badly to a faded Joe Frazier, putting up nothing like the fight he had against peak Joe in 1969. In this fight he again went down, suggesting he was slowing up and losing his punch resistance. In fact, the Alexander fight was the last significant victory of his career. By the time he took the Norton fight, he was an empty shell, taking the fight on 18 days notice.

Can't believe he lost to Ali...twice. But Ali moved around him and he didn't get a chance to use that left. Liston was no match for Ali. After the 2d knock down Liston was in the wrong corner. No wonder he couldn't survive that round. But Harris was game.

This Great White Hope fell to the Great White Coke! Drugs and alcohol were as much a problem for him as anything

Sonny was a gentleman

IT has been 34 year's when they fighted

I remember attending this fight and sitting near the back of the arena, laughing my head off for like 3 days straight at those people who paid over $1000 per seat (1986 dollars) for ringside seats to this fight which lasted half of 1 round! 😂 🤣

3:12 Who’s Joe?

Are you sure that it's a good idea to keep getting your head beaten in while attempting to pursue a career as a Harry Browne Fellow? 😁

Father like son.

Actually didn't know the great Keith Jackson ever did boxing.

When you take a victory lap... Get the victory first. Then take the lap.

I would have loved watching a Quarry-Foreman fight in the early to mid 70’s.

Just a shame there was no cruiserweight division back then jerry would have been champ

In his prime Jerry was always a top 5 heavyweight. He just couldn't get by Ali and Frazier

0:43

If I were to fight Jerry quarry in the 70s, I’d easily beat him for my experience

Quarry fought way to much, 66 fights by the age of 29 would destroy anybody. RIP Jerry you were a gr8 boxer.

Always liked Cooney. Quality dude. Wish he would of won the title.

I met him at p g a in florida he a good guy klithco was training there i told him i know he could have beaten klithco if he had a better situation

He almost had a fight scheduled with Mike Weaver but his management went for the Holmes fight. Huge mistake.

Jerry Quarry "Fearless Warrior"👍🙏💯

Het doed wel wat met je als je Sonny zo ziet zo gebroken en zo teluirsteleng

What a stiff Cooney was Eddie Greg just stood there like a mummy JOKE

A converted southpaw. So the left hook was his out punch.

I dont think Quarry was underrated he was a top contender that wasnt quite at the elite level. He didnt have all the gifts that the elite had but the fans understood that he would give his all. Very similar to George Chuvalo. Sad he paid dearly for being such a warrior

What a pier sixer! Now, I'm off to look up this Joe Alexander. Gave Jerry a really good fight.

Tough test for Cooney. He could have pulled a muscle or something.

Sonny Liston had an incredible talent. Too bad it was not developed earlier in his teens

Jerry was the great white hope that fell short.

Keith Jackson called the fight because Al Trautwig, originally scheduled to call it, had to remain with ABC's coverage earlier that day of the Indianapolis 500 which had been delayed six days by rain.

Poor quarry, too bad he couldn't beat the really good ones.

Jerry had a heck of a chin.

i would not quit fighting or anything to help out family or friends ...realize you got a life to live too ..omg ..i am not cold hearted but love is love ..but hurting you to get back way you were ,,,understand this

You could just FEEL the weight of Liston’s punches ending in those lunchboxes he had for hands-unbelievable build for fighting and good head movement…I disagree with the commentator that Listons style was to ‘take two to give one’. Very underrated as a boxer-he WASNT just a monstrous puncher-he had legit boxing skills.

In 58' I honestly don't know if Clay could have survived this fight. Sonny was simply from another planet.

He was a beast…against tomato cans. Put him up against any real fighter and you saw what happened.

This is from 1986 when Holmes was preparing for his rematch with Michael Spinks.

Liston passed away one year after this fight

Wouldn't Quarry vs Usyk at 200 pounds be interesting?

Sonny was great , my favourite boxer of all time

Cooney could really bang.

What dignity these men showed. A different time, a different set of values to their modern day counterparts. Liston was a beast. So sad his life turned out the way it did. Most only remember his defeats to Clay / Ali but he ws much more than that. One of the true Heavyweight greats,

THE classic example of a fighter that was protected and didn't need to be. He went 13 rounds with a prime Larry Holmes. Should have been no shame but so much was put on him, mainly because he was white. Gerry could fight and he could hurt whatever he hit. But after becoming the number one contender, they stalled him. He could have been a champion.

Gerry Cooney - hit like the freight train, stings like a dreadnaught.

7:43 YAY !!! Yay !!! WOOO HOOO !!! Cocaine Booze and Hookers for all of the hanger ons YAY YAY YAY Forget training for Spinks it’s COCAINE HOOKERS & BOOZE time !! 🍺🥃🍹🍻🥂🍷🍾🌨🌨❄️❄️💨💨💨💨👠👠💄💄👄👄💃💃💃👯‍♀️🥃🥃🍺🍺

6:09 Look how tiny he makes those gloves look. You can see Greggs demeanor change after the first 1 or 2 exchanges. Cooney hit NASTY FN HARD

Cooneys left was a wrecking ball. I don’t think people realize that here (mid 1980’s) he’d be damn near 👁 to 👁 with modern day Tyson Fury. Nasty left hook. I wish he’d have Eddie Futch or Manny Steward in his corner.

Jerry was a great fighter , very brave. He will always be my favourite boxer.

Finally I get to see a fight that Jerry Quarry actually wins! He fought some of the greatest to ever lace em up!
