Joshua Clottey vs. Ike Quartey - 12 rounds for the distinction of being the best Ghanaian welterweight of the last few decades

Miguel Cotto vs. Felix Trinidad - 12 rounds for the distinction of being the best Puerto Rican welterweight of the last few decades

This thread is a bit misleading

Paper bag vs. Plastic.

I'll play along. Trinidad and Quartey both win.

Ike by Decision, Tito by KO

I think Benitez toys with Trinidad and beats Cotto closer, but I would take Tito by KO and Ike by close dec.

Yes, Benitez, on-song, would do a number on both Trinidad & Cotto.

Amongst these matches, however, I don't think we'll see much variation in response.

Trinidad & Quartey would certainly succeed.

It's a shame Ike and Tito never faced off. Two of the top 5 welters of the 90s. I think Tito would have beaten him, but close. Ike was a bad man.

I never got into Ike. I think Clottey fights him a lot tougher than this thread is making it out too.

Of course Clottey also takes portions of the fight off and loses a UD, but he would be there to fight.

I think Clottey gives Ike an interesting fight. They are both strong, Quartey has more firepower and heavier hands.

Cotto doesnt see 8 rounds against Trinidad.

I've come to realize that I simply see a different fighter in Miguel Cotto than does the rest of the world. Therefor, Like Chris with JMM it's probably best I just abstain from discussing him. However, Clottey beats Ike in a close one, and even I think Tito probably beats Cotto.








...But Cotto beats Benitez. Fuck a sim.

trinidad by brutal 8 ko. ike by clear ud. clottey always finds a way to lose with the elite.

Ike wins a close but clear decision against Clottey and Tito goes down early and comes back to stop Cotto brutally in 8 or 9 rounds.

Tito would beat Cotto something awful. Bad style matchup imo.
