We will be very happy with your subscription to the channel !! WOW!! WHAT A FIGHT - Floyd Patterson vs Jerry Quarry II, Full HD Highlights "Ng_Ayman HD" channel brings you summaries of professional boxing fights.
I was always aware , even though I was young, that Patterson was a very good boxer. What I didn’t take note of until years after his fights with Ali, that Quarry was a talented boxer who like other good boxers had to deal with being born in an era with so many gifted boxers. May they both rest in peace.
Floyd Patterson wrote in Victory Over Myself: *“I loved Cus, but he was not going to let me fight the best because he was afraid I was going to lose. I decided a Champion had to face everyone, even if he loses, and I felt better despite the losses."* Ironically, even though he lost to Liston and never regained the title, he is still ranked in the top 20 heavyweights of all time precisely because he fired Cus, and fought real contenders, rolling up a record worthy of the Hall of Fame. After he fired Cus, Floyd faced: Muhammad Ali Sonny Liston Eddie Machen Henry Cooper Jimmy Ellis Oscar Bonavena Jerry Quarry George Chuvalo *"I decided a Champion had to face everyone, even if he loses."*
Have really found a respect for Floyd Patterson. Have seen a few of his fights, with that leaping hook he always seems like he is moving forward. Jerry Q. is tough!
Need to watch his greatest fights Patterson Johansson 2, Archie Moore, and believe it or not his 15rd loss to Jimmy ellis at 36.He was robbed in that fight with the ref being the only judge. He surprised the Nay-sayers when at 38 he beat tough guy Bonavena who had given Ali and Frazier tough fights.
Dude... You ain't lying! I kinda didn't really pursue his fights because of his losing to liston in the first round. To my detriment! What a vicious, punishing, entertaining style!

After he fired Cus, Floyd faced: Muhammad Ali Sonny Liston Eddie Machen Henry Cooper Jimmy Ellis Oscar Bonavena Jerry Quarry George Chuvalo *"I decided a Champion had to face everyone, even if he loses."* (SOMETHING MARCIANO NEVER DID!!!!) *Marciano knew he'd have to eventually confront Cleveland Williams, Johansson, Patterson, Liston, Machen, Folley, Valdez, Cooper, Miteff, London, Mildenberger, Jones, Terrell, Chuvalo, Clay, Bonavena, Quarry, Martin, and Ellis just to name a few.* Instead he makes lame excuses like, "I just didn't have the feeling or desire anymore." If y'all listen to 'The Marciano Tapes' you'll quickly realize he was compulsive liar.
Fourteen months after Marciano fights Moore he calls the Patterson vs. Moore match ringside. *Marciano is flabbergasted at Patterson's blinding speed.* Patterson simply walked through everything Moore threw without blinking and KO’d Archie in 5. *Patterson destroyed Moore a lot easier and a lot sooner with less punches than Marciano did.* Marciano quickly realizes it would be pointless to make a comeback even though every sportswriter across America is begging him to come out of retirement. *Patterson's era was easily 5x better than Marciano's era.* Cleveland Williams, Johansson, Patterson, Liston, Machen, Folley, Valdez, Cooper, Miteff, London, Mildenberger, Jones, Terrell, Chuvalo, Clay, Bonavena, Quarry, Martin, and Ellis just to name a few would have simply walked through Walcott, Charles, Moore, Layne and LaStarza. Patterson himself *very easily* walked through Moore!
I'm old enough to remember Patterson well before he won the heavyweight championship. He was really a great fighter, but not big enough to prevail in a time when bigger, more powerful boxers were taking over the heavyweight ranks. If he had gone back to light heavyweight, his career would have been even more successful.
@@blackDavidFrost_Stout_Krout Marciano wisely retired after getting a very hard fought win over 41 year old Archie Moore, who was more comfortable at light heavyweight. I think he saw the future and got out while still undefeated.
To CHOPPY. How about showing us the actual highlights instead of this chopped up thing that you really don't get any clue how the fight actually developed or went. *sigh*
The first time these two warriors fought in June of 1967, they fought to a draw. This video was their 2nd fight which occurred in October of 1967, it was a controversial split decision won by Quarry. AP, UPS and several other media sources had Patterson winning the fight. BTW: The tale of the tape showed that each fighter was 6 foot tall, Patterson weighed 193 and Quarry 192. Quarry had a slight reach advantage 74" to Patterson's 72". Quarry was 22 years old and Patterson was 32 years old.
@@david-pb4bi He would have been the Goat cruiser at that time after beating the previous Goat cruiserweight if they had that weight class; Floyd Patterson
@@Godshonestruth Ye, loads of boxers in them days put on weight to fight at heavyweight because that was where the money was. Do you remember a boxer from England John Conteh he started at heavyweight but was too small came down to light heavyweight and won the world title.
Hey NG_Ayman, did u edit the fight??? If so, PLEASE TAKE THE VID DOWN and re-edit it. I can't see anything let alone enjoy the fight! Stop cutting away so much of the action!!!
Had never viewed this fight before. This one is slightly before I started watching boxing. However it's apparent that Quarry got the nod with the 2 knockdowns.
@@keithcampbell6806 Unless there was no 10 point must system at the time if that's the case than maybe you have a point but if not then there is no such thing as a robbery when you get dropped twice. Sorry.
Since about 1970 (or so) Floyd Patterson is NOT a heavyweight. A Light Heavyweight at most. Put him up against today's 170 pounders....He would be a killer.
When Marciano retired Paterson was light heavyweight champion. He entered the elimination tournament and defeated light heavy Archie Moore and Heavyweight Hurricane Jackson to win the title. He lost the title to Johanson and won it back in a rematch. Then he got crush when he fought Liston. He was a great small champion.
I agree.. this poster obviously duped us also, it is clear these are not highlights as Cosell would refer excitedely to a punch that happened right prior to what we saw.
I know Jerry was a better fighter than many people think, but I'm going to look up how old Floyd was in this fight. His recovery time after getting decked was amazing.
I am sort of a Liston fan. As a youth his criminal acts, and later his associations with the underworld, led to fans not accepting him even when he won the championship. I believe this was very hurtful to him. I think of Liston as a tortured soul - someone that started life off on the wrong foot, and was never allowed to atone for it. In the ring he had a formidable jab that set up his left hook. He was a physical anomaly with an 84" reach on a powerful 6'1" body. Definitely a top 10 of all time heavyweight boxer.
I grew up watching boxing on TV. Cosell announced all of the fights, I now realize how uneducated Cosell was as a boxing announcer thanks to the amazing boxing content on RU-vid which explains the details I was ignorant of. Now a question for educated boxing fans. Is Patterson considered Ali before Ail because of has speed and style ? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Actually Floyd never been ko'd out cold? He once quoted himself in an interview saying.." Im probably the most knocked down champion, but I also got up the most" lol He was very humble
THE ABSOLUTE , NO QUESTION ABOUT IT , WORST EDITING JOB I'VE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF SEEING & HEARING.... THE CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS EVERY 3-4 SECONDS , AT CRUCIAL POINTS IN THE FIGHT MADE ME WANT TO THROW MY PHONE AGAINST THE WALL !
This fight should have ruled a draw but wasn't because it was part of a tournament to crown a new Champion. They didn't allow time for rematches. I watched this fight several times and the 34 year old patterson won every round after the 4th.
I disagree. In fact, if you are saying Floyd won the last 8 rounds, well, I cant remember Floyd EVER winning 8 straight rounds against anyone, and I saw a lot of his fights. Quarry won the decision, and I thought he won it convincingly. My opinion
Learn to score and watch the fight without commentary. You will realize Floyd should've earned this decision as well as the fight with Ellis.Floyd was no joke.
There was a Canadian fighter who George Foreman says was the hardest banger he faced EVER, I cant remember the name (its going back a few haircuts now)but I thought Quarry but it is likely Chuck Wepner, whatever name it was Ali also gave the guy plaudits for his Big Bang..(Theory )
I believe you're thinking of George Chuvalo. He fought literally EVERYBODY, was Never knocked off his feet, he's still lucid and articulate to this day. He mentioned in an interview that he's had all the typical medical brain testing they give ex fighters/contact sports guys. He was saying the Drs said he showed no signs at all medically that he ever was a fighter. Individual's are unique.
A chiseled young Jerry Quarry . He and Floyd should have had a Cruiserweight Division to run but timing put them in the land of big fast heavyweights - something Marciano avoided by retiring young at 32 - with both Cleveland Williams And Sonny Liston looming on the horizon .
