Ike Quartey at his best

good find jimmie

He almost looks as good as Clottey.

 

:rofl

 

:nut :nut :nut

 

Almost? You're overrating Quartey.

You have to take their skills into account. Clottey has a vastly superior jab (just about everybody has a better jab than Quartey for that matter). He also had better timing and more power. I could actually see Quartey dropping a decision to the Corrales that Clottey fought. And then factor in their performances. For Quartey, the close loss to De La Hoya. For Clottey, the close loss to Margarito. Which one do you hold in higher regard? To me it's a no brainer. Margarito > De La Hoya, based on overall accomplishments and H2H. I'd be scared for De La Hoya's life if he fought the current Williams around the time he faced Trinidad.

 

What a nuthugger!

 

All kidding aside, Quartey was similar to Winky Wright in the sense that he used the turtle shell defense, walked you down, and kept an active power jab in your face at all times. I think they knew eachother well from when they fought in Europe and Quartey influenced Wright's style a little bit.

He's an underrated fighter and should have wins over Forrest and De La Hoya.

 

Ike had a sick jab

 

Me a nuthugger? No, you're just delusional. Time to wake up and face reality.

Clottey is special, not just some overhyped, physically strong, light puncher like Quartey.

You have been DISQUALIFIED

 

I wouldn't pick any current WW over prime Ike.

 

:rofl

 

Neither would I.

Think he beats Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Quintana, and the rest of the guys.

 

Careful, we might be losing some people with the irony. But I'm dying over here...

Obviously Clottey crushes them both on the same night, but who would you have taken between Ike and Tito at 147?
