...and Quartey's what, chopped liver?

Seriously, he'd do quite well today. Surefire titlist.

From what i've seen of Berto and Carr, it would be a close fight. Carr's class against Berto's power. I'd give edge to Carr but if they fought three times Berto would win at least once.

Carr was a solid contender type in a very strong WW era. He was unfortunate to be up against the likes of DLH, Trinidad, and Quartey.

I don't think he was anything special, just a good solid pro, but still better than some of the recent WW title-holders.

^^^ Yey this sounds about right. Id rate him in between say Berto and Cotto

Carr wasn't anything too special, but he'd beat the likes of Cotto imo and would still give Floyd and Pac tough fights - Pac in particular imo.
