I was just watching Ike fight Jose Luis Lopez(exceLLENT fight BTW!) and I thought of this fight. Plus,a while ago,I read on another site that Ike really does not like Joshua because apparently he used to be tight with Clottey and helped but Clottey did not return the favour and they fell out(something along those lines).
Who do you think would win and why/how?
I think a prime Quartey destroys Clottey. Hell I'll take Quartey to beat him today as well.
I think Ike would win too but I don't know about destroying him! They have pretty simiar styles but Ike has a far far better jab and far more. I think Joshua could have the better chin though.Quote:

quartey beats clottey with that long straight power and fierceness.which means clottey will have to had hurt his poor widdle hands on Ikes skull. ;D
If we are talking prime for prime then Quartey he would pick him off with that lightning jab and win comfortable decision although i think at somepoint Clottey may knock down Quartey but overall Quartey would have the best of it.Quote:

In 2007, I think I still pick Quartey to beat Clottey, although it would be a competitive fight.
YEA IKE WINS ud IN AN ENTERTAINING AFFAIR.
Two of me favorite fighters right here El G ! this would be one not to miss... Clottey is very strong for his size, i would give him the edge in power...Quote:

I'd say Quartey in his prime wins a wide decision, nowadays I still think Ike squeaks by with the win!
Ike Quartey better fighter all round. I also heard Ike did not get on well with Asumah Nelson, anyone shed any light?
I have to agree with the masses here...At prime Ike gives a boxing lesson and gets a UD....Clottey will have his moments though
