    Who you with? Two fighters I like to watch from time to time despite their underwhelming and lacklustre career.
    I think you can make a case that Ike is more proven, he arguably beat De La Hoya and was basically robbed against Forrest when he was pretty inactive.

    I think prime Ike walks him down. Both were big WW's. Ike is short but he would come into the ring over 160 and was one of the strongest ever at that weight. I like Spence a lot but I don't think he beats the Ike Quartey that fought Oscar or Espana.

    Spence is underrated these days, Crawford is just an ATG, genuinely think he’ll be in the top 10 P4P in history when it’s all said and done, Spence was considered elite and even P4P level himself before that.
    Spence on points here.

    I agree that Spence is underrated but I think Ike has a stylistic advantage in this matchup though. The way to beat Ike is to back him up, not box him. Spence is highly skilled but I don't think he has the physicality.

    Mid-90s Quartey batters and stops Spence, and i always liked Spence.
