Moore was 5'11 , and 190 when he met Rocky Marciano.
Quarry was six feet and 197 in his prime. He KO'd Earnie Shavers, way outboxed Ron Lyle, counterpunched to beat Floyd Patterson. Tough, very quick, very good boxer with some real pop. He almost KO'd Joe Frazier. Why does this this guy go unrespected?
Archie Moore went down three times to Yvon Durelle. He had over 20 career losses. He was never that good over 190 pounds, and he was strictly a puncher. How does he beat Quarry, a bigger guy who could box and counterpunch? Quarry was , again, a very tough chin. Ali never put him down in two fights.
