    good matchup. once tito gets going, i think he stops ike late or wins a wide decision. quartey would have success early vs the slow starting trinidad. might take tito 3 or 4 rounds to start timing that bazooka jab of quartey's.

    Quartey could give Trinidad a lot of trouble especially with his shot gun jab but its hard to pick Quartey as he was never able to come up big and get the win against the other great fighters he faced though showing well and taking them to their limits. Perhaps if he had fought Tito it may have turned out to be his career defining performance. But its hard not to go with Trinidad as he was truly great in his prime and was a devastating puncher and Quartey could be hit. The only thing I'm really sure of with this match up is it would produce a very competitive and exciting fight much like Quartey's fights with De La Hoya and Vargas.

    I thought Quartey beat DLH but I think Trinidad at Welterweight was a different type of fighter. Oscar really didn`t know how to attack a full fledged Welterweight Tito was more natural at being aggressive.

    This would have to be a brutal fight. Ike had alot of physical strength, not just power he was strong and able to move guys when he touched them. Trinidad was the more explosive puncher IMO with quicker hands and an overall better skillset.

    That big Jab of Quartey would pose problems for Tito. I think he would take some punishment before breaking through and hurting Ike Quartey. Once that happend I think Trinindad eventually finishes Quartey late in the fight.

    Tito would've stopped Ike late. Quartey tended to fade late, and was susceptible to left hooks. Neither one of those weaknesses bode well for him against Tito.

    I like Felix by decision, though I am a minority on the poll. Quartey would give him a good fight and probably end up surviving the distance, but Felix outworks him.
