Ike by UD. As many people have mentioned, his quick and stiff jab could alone have Cotto bleeding. Cotto is a strong and solid boxer, but Ike would out punch and outbox him.
Quartey by decision. That man was a really talented boxer, great jab, nice speed and despite the fact that he used to fade on the late rounds he had a lot of heart and somehow he kept throwing punches. Bad matchup for Cotto.
Just admit you weren't following the sport back then or have any clue what you're talking about. Ike Quartey at one point was considered to have one of, if not the, best chin(s) in the sport. But years of struggling to make weight - and inactivity - certainly hurt him.
Lopez dropped him twice, Oscar dropped him twice... need I say more. How can you say a fighter has the best chin in the business when he gets knocked down 4 times in 2 fights?
