Pastrano fought to become world light heavyweight champion in 1963 by beating Harold Johnson and holding on to the title for two years before losing the same to Jose Torres in 1965. Among the fighters Pastrano fought and beat included former champion Joey Maxim, Gregorio Peralta ( who would later go the distance with George Foreman ), Terry Downes, and heavyweights Brian London , Tom McNeely, and Willlie Besmahoff. He also had a draw with Archie Moore.
Mike Quarry was better known as the underachieving brother of Jerry Quarry who failed in his bid for the light heavyweight championship losing by 4th round KO to Bob Foster. His highest achievement was winning the American and NABF light heavyweight championships. Among other his losses were to Mike Rossman, Yaqui Lopez, Pierre Forurie, and Chris Fennigan.
Pastrano would have beaten Quarry easily on points or joined the list of KO winners over Mike.
