    it would of been a very competitive fight, i lean towards Tito SD. Quartey had arguably the best jab ever but sadly thats all he had. If Tito off-balances himself and touches the canvas even once that would be enough to cost him the fight imo.

    this fight was gonna happen and was signed until DLHs people got on the way and convinced quartey to get out of the fight to fight DLH.. this wouldve been a great KO victory for tito i wish it wouldve happened... this fight and terry norris were two great wins that tito lucked out on having

    Tito by Ko in 10. Quartey is a Front runner and as the fight wears on is easier to hit. Tito would get him out of there no later then 10.

    Tito-DLH-Quartey-Mosley should have fought each other.

    Too bad only DLH fought all of them.

    Thats cause Tito never laid a clean punch on ODLH.

    Trinidad by Split Decision, in a controversial but very exciting fight both these guys go down. Ike does very well early surprising Tito with his strenght and quick counter punches and putting him down in the 3rd. Tito starts doing better with Quartey stunning him and started to match him evenly in the center and also pushes Ike and does well on the ropes, Tito picks it up in the later rounds and scores a KD. Many think Ike won cause of his dominating performance in the first 5, and many like Titos comeback and strong finish.

    You're definately not crazy. When I made this poll after the first 24 votes or so it was dead even...though it has been an absolute landslide since. However, I think most people who are picking Tito also acknowledge it would be a tough fight. Quartey was a tough customer for anybody he ever fought except maybe Winky Wright(which was Quartey's last fight and WAY past his prime).

    Tito woulda stopped Ike late. People tend to underrate a prime Tito and think that a jab is all it takes to beat him. But the real key to beating Tito was always lateral movement, and thats just not something Ike has. Ike doesnt have the height, movement, and range that DLH and Hopkins had... plus he was always vunerable to left hooks, and sometimes left his jab out too long as the fight carried on, which would get him countered. Ike does well early, knocks Tito down, but by the mid rounds Tito begins countering over the jab w/his right, and eventually lands the big hook which puts Ike down. But unlike DLH & Lopez.... Tito finishes the job.
