These days, I have been watching several Ike Quartey fights and remembered how solid this guy was. That snapping jab he had, his come forward style, and his chopping right hand made for a lethal combination in the welterweight division.
On the other corner, we have Félix Trinidad. I don't think I have to describe Trinidad since almost every true boxing fan knows of him. Still, I will. Trinidad had explosive one punch power, determination, a relentless go forward style, and good skills when he decided to use them.
On paper, I think this has to be one of the most fascinating welterweight fights that never took place and I just can't pick a surefire winner. I think I could see Quartey giving Trinidad a lot of problems with the jab and taking an early lead until Trinidad starts to pick up the pace and TKO's him late. The reason why I think he could TKO Ike is because Quartey would stand and trade with Trinidad, instead of moving around, thus, giving Trinidad way more chances than he should.
