Ok there are a bunch of good fights I thought Quartey would have done well in. One fight that I thought should have been made with is Trinidad. I thought DLH lost that fight, even to this day, in fact when I rewatched it recently I found it ridiculous and a gift. Quartey won 7-5.
We have all learned that Trinidad has problems with a good jab and tight defense(Winky Wright). Quartey had one of the better jabs I have seen from my lifetime(I am a young buck). His jab physically hurt fighters at 147. He also hid behind his defense really well early on(pre-DLH). He had nasty power in both hands, I have seen him knock down fighters with either hand. He dropped DLH with his left hook. His chin was solid(I'd say his arrogance got him hurt a lot), he would get knocked down. I never seen him have to genuinely hang on except when he was exhausted. His stamina wasn't great. It was good till a couple of fights before DLH.
We all know Trinidad, was a decent boxer, with devastating power. Best power pound for pound in my lifetime. His left hook crushed people. His jab was solid, chin was strong, I did see him dinged from a prime Vargas(I do me Prime as short as that was). Trinidad got a some what dinged Vargas from a war with Quartey. His stamina was awesome.
What do you guys think about a prime Quartey vs. Trinidad?
I'd say Quartey could win a fight against him, not necessarily will though. Quartey had all the tools to win with his jab and tight defense. Enough power to stall Tito. He had solid speed and footwork. At any which rate it would be a hell of a fight I think.
