Quartey-Trinidad

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.Comment

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.Comment

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..Comment

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.Did you watch that fight?

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.Comment

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 hookWhether he was prime or not that's not the point & yes he was outboxed.

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.Comment
