He whips Judah and knocks him out.

Mayweather wins. Quartey isn't physical or busy enough. He has the jab to give Floyd a bit of trouble, but ultimately loses a decision.

Again, Ike may not be physical enough to beat Pac. He hits hard enough to keep Pac honest for a bit, but I don't think he has the movement to prevent Pac putting his hands all over him with those angles. Tough call. Pac probably wins a decision.

Margo is pretty even probably due to the pressure factor. Ike beats him to the punch and obviously outboxes him, but he probably starts getting beat up the later it goes.

I could be underrating Ike here, and I think he has a great chance to beat all but Mayweather, but I'm interested to hear what others have to say about this.

He absolutely breaks Zab and clearly beats Margarito. On his best night, he could give both Mayweather and Pacquiao hell, and possibly sneak a win against either. I'd favor them though, but Ike's about as good a true welterweight as those two can beat.

[Saltzy]

He has one of the best jabs ever, very hard and quick. His right hand didn't have much as his technique when throwing it was a bit off but did have a monster left hook.

I say he beats Judah.
Makes a close fight but loses narrowly to Mayweather because of his workrate, same with Pacquiao.
The Margarito fight would be close, just a bad style for Ike imo, I could see if going either way.

[HawkFan16]

Beats the crap out of Judah for a TKO win. Probably makes him quit too.
Beats Margarito by close UD in a war.
Has a very close fight with Mayweather that could go either way. Judges probably give it to Mayweather because he's a bigger draw.
Loses to Pacquiao by UD. Pacman is a bad stylistic matchup for Ike.

he stops Judah in 6, Floyd outboxes Quartey. Loses to Manny by decision also, and loses by late knockout to Margarito.

Knocks Judah out within 6 rounds.

Outpoints Mayweather in a close one.

50/50 fight with Pac.

Beats the prime out of Margarito over about 7 rounds.

Mayweather's workrate at welterweight is nothing to write home about. He'd fight at just the pace Quartey likes it.

Even if he was down on the cards I doubt Floyd has the balls to stand in and push a higher workrate on Ike.

[PhillyPhan69]

Not bad match-ups...

He should be Judah fairly easily and I imagine stops him in the late mid rounds...tko 9

Floyd would find a way to win a solid UD

I think Ike would be to big for Pac at ww, and much better/stronger than anything Pac has faced in that division.

Margarito...50/50 for me, but I will fall off the fence and take Ike by a close decision.

[salty trunks]

I could see him losing to all those fighters, but I could see him beating Margarito and Judah. Some guys are overating Ike, especially the guy who says he outpoints Mayweather JR.

Yeah Pardon me,

I'm merely picking a guy who arguably beat DLH, Jose Luis Lopez and Crisanto Espana at the weight.

Didn't know he was up against the conqueror of Judah, Baldomir and Hatton.

And none of those guys are in the league of Mayweather, no not even DLH. Mayweather was and is a lot better handling strong one dimensional guys than DLH and Lopez, who would just stand in.

Even an old ass DLH was in Mayweather's league when they fought each other.

The one that faced Ike, I'd take him over Joy as well.
