Jerry Quarry (
May 15,
1945 -
January 3,
1999) was called by some the best heavyweight
boxer to never win a world title. He was durable and rugged and had a good punch and great chin. His one flaw was cuts, which stopped some of his fights and hurt him in others. Jerry had a good left hook and was a good body puncher and smart defensive fighter.
Quarry began his career in 1965 winning a decision against Gene Hamilton in Los Angeles, California.
Quarry died suffering of dementia. His brother, Mike Quarry[?], is a former boxer who once lost to Bob Foster by a knockout in round four for the world's Light Heavyweight title.
