I posted on this subject a while back. Here's my post & what I was able to find:
I did some research to find the exact reason why Quartey was inactive from his fight with Jose Luis Lopez (Oct.1997) to DLH (Feb.1999). What I found was that he was scheduled to fight Sweet Pea on 4/25/98 but Pea tested positive for coke & that fight was scrapped. Quartey was then matched up to fight the guy Pea beat in his previous fight but Quartey refused to sign the contract to fight that guy. He then went into negotiations & signed a contract to fight Tito in 98' but was sued by Main Events (I believe they had options on him) so that fight was halted & Quartey was offered the DLH fight. Ike had been out of commission for a over a year but was rumoured to be VERY sharp in training for the DLH fight. DLH then had an "injury" & the fight was pushed back & Quartey was out of action for almost a year an a half.
That's good info thanks. I always thought he was in some sort of mini retirement for thinking he was robbed in his last fight. It sucks the fight didn't happen.
We can also blame Winky Wright for beating Mosley and ruining the potential Mosley/Trinidad fight.
Your last resort because you don't have anything else to say. Keep dreaming of Tito.

Looks like I struck a nerve because of your love fantasy with Tito. I respected your opinion bitch; but the bitch in you can't debate when your points were shot down so you go & take it personal keyboard warrior. Learn how to debate & come back son because you don't know boxing.

i see tito koing him in the 5th.
its a forum and everybody is entitled to their opinion
Well when someone's opinion isn't completely based on facts or reason, others will definitely disagree.
If it was that easy to counter Quartey's powerful & FAST jab he would've been KO'ed a LONG time ago. Quartey stops Tito or wins a lopsided decision.i see tito koing him in the 5th.

they both would be pressing forward,so it's tito's power at welter over quarteys jab,i see tito duck a jab like did vs vargas and landing the left hook

Whether he was prime or not that's not the point & yes he was outboxed. And Tito can't fight going backwards; that's a fact. His whole offense is predicated on moving foward which is something he wouldn't be able to do on a consistent basis against a prime Quartey. He'd be eating so many jabs that he wouldn't be able to set his feet to land anything significant.

1 that was hopkins prime as an overall fighter,2 the way to beat tito is not to pressure him,is by boxing,its his achilles heel,not coming forward jab or no jab period,fact is he gets near tito tito's gonna hit him back.

actually.. ive seen at least 11 of his fights..
my man.. u really think tito would win? ok thats nice..
its a bias man.. "i guess its the puerto rican reflex" tito is not and was never a great boxer..
ike would picked him apart.. with his jab alone..
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Did you watch that fight? He out boxed Tito over the course of 12 rounds & went for the kill once he didn't see him as a threat. Quartey would be in Tito face ALL NIGHT. Quartey's more aggresive than Hopkins at that stage in his (Hopkins) career. Mid 90 to late 90's Hopkins was seek n destroy.

Hopkins wasn't as imposing as Quartey would be. And Hopkins jab is/was nothing like Quartey's jab. Quartey's jab was a power punch that could split guards & mark your face the hell up. And at Welter he was so much physically stronger than most that he was imposing. He had the strength to put Tito on the back foot & if you back Tito up you can beat him.
