ike "bazooka" quartey appreciation thread

Didn't see much of him live but his reputation always preceded. I have seen his biggest fights and he was a quality operator no doubt. It's why, whenever I mention Oscar's best wins, Quartey is always up there. You don't beat a guy like that without being damn good yourself. I wish we could be talking about a Quartey/Oscar 2 but I guess Vargas killed a lot of his momentum.

Loved his fights with Vargas and de la Hoya. And I still think he beat the late great Vernon Forrest rather easy.

Quartey was a fun fighter to watch, no doubt. Random casual NSB trolls who DKSAB don't know about gems like him.

Underrated champion! His left hand would reek havoc if he were fighting today.

I enjoyed him but won't lie and say I was a fan. He was so inactive.

One of the best jabs I've ever seen.

The Great Wilfredo "Bazooka" Gomez!!! one of the greatest of his era. The original was a prodigy...not enough casual know about him except his losses n how much he kayoed mfs He was p4p one of the best late 70s-early 80s
