Haven't seen this matchup on here yet. Who wins this battle at 147? Two warriors who haven't been knocked out, any chance of a knockout in this fight?

no but i picked ike... i like shane hes one of my mavorite fighters but ike fights in a similar fashion to winky wright with the peek a boo defence pop the jab... he is way more aggresive than winky but i think it would be just about the same fight as shane vs wright

Shane would be too fast for Bazooka.

you know i actually think ike would have a real good shot here.... mosley is ripe imo for the jab... and i can see ike truly fustrating him with it. Mosley would def make it a battle and close, and of course i could see him winning too... but i never thought of this fight before, and suprisingly im picking ike. id love to see this fight.

I voted for Ike.

Used to have the best jab in boxing and was beating DLH until the KD. (probably shoulda got the nod) Shane has obviously struggled against the jab before. Ike ain't getting KOed either. Plus Ike beat Vernon Forrest regardless of the judges decision, and i'm surprising myself in saying quite confidently that Ike would give Mosley fits and UD him.

Quartey beat him at his own game and was robbed of the decision. Quartey has a better jab, and fights like a lefty Winky Wright. This style is bad for Mosley, clear as day to any rational fan.

Bad style for Mosley. Mosley is not a great WW to begin with.

I agree that Ike was robbed of that decision, but I have no doubt that the Vernon Ike fought was far from the same Vernon that Shane fought. He still is not fully recovered from the shoulder, probably never will be.

Anyone would've thought Mosley would beat Forrest had they not fought, but now that we see his weakness, it's pretty easy to pick certain styles over Mosley. Quartey uses that style to the tee.

Ike was clearly outclassed by Winky, Shane came much closer to beating Winky (rematch).

I think Vernons and Winky's size advantage had as much to do with SHanes problems with them as their styles. Ike would not have the same advantage IMO.

But that was also far from the Ike that fought DLH.

True, but Ike did not have near the injury that Vernon had in his shoulder.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ike and Cotto.

Shane lost to 2 taller fighters with pretty good jab - and came very close to beating Cotto.

Shane wins this one.

Apart from the jab and a pretty heavy right hand Quartey doesnt have anything else that would trouble Shane, mainly because he doesnt throw enough leather( mixing it up, he fights pretty much one paced). Quarteys footwork isnt the best i could just see Mosley hurting him and stopping him late, to much speed and just enough power!

Shane wins this one.Isn't that the exact same style that Quartey is? And no, he wasn't close to beating Cotto.

Ike had the jab, the reach, and the style to neutralize Shane's boxer/brawler style.

I still think a prime (pre shoulder) Vernon beats Ike clearly.
Vernon and Winky had height and size advantage over Shane that Ike would not have.

Its a good debate and we'll never know for sure. . . but a match between Shane and Ike this year would still be a pretty good scrap.

No, this is just a fantasy match topic.

mosley's defense is leaky, where'as ike's is pretty tight..and he's too vulnerable to the jab, a punch that ike is very consistant with. I don't think mosley is more powerful and i absolutely don't think he's stronger either.

horrible matchup for mosley IMO

Ike UD

Man, and I just got through saying in the other thread how Quartey-Mayorga would have me emotionally torn! :lol::lol: :patsch

I can see reasons why either guy could win this honestly. And no that isn't a cop-out due to my not wanting to pick one. :yep

Ok thats old now. Why continue with it? Is it because you yourself is black?

N/E way Mosley would struggle against Ike

Id like Quartey to win in this fight and knock Mosley out but I think its not gonna happen. Ike and ODLH may have the same power and Oscar wasn't able to knock Mosley out.. So Mosley will win this one with his flurries but certainly wont be able to hurt Quartey.

I'm surprised by the one-sided poll.

Quartey would give Mosley hell with his jab and great straight right hand. I think he'd win a UD.

imagine if quartey was given the decisions against oscar and jose luis lopez, his stance as a fighter would have significantly changed. Hes the king of getting robbed.

Ike by UD. I think it would have more action then either Vernon Forrest - Mosley fight, but I think Ike would win a clear, but hard fought decision.

Obviously Shane Mosley is susceptable to the jab and Ike Quartey has the Bazooka I think Ikes jab would dominate Shane from about rounds 3 to 7. Quartey has always had a tendency to get one dimensonal and lazy late in fights and he winds up paying for it. Shane is always fighting at 100 percent he isnt taking any mental or phyiscal breaks and when Quartey would stop doubling and trippling the jab and start dropping his right hand Shane would make him pay with his speed and counter punching when Ike gets lazy or tired. Go look at a bunch of Quartey fights it happened vs Jose Luis Lopez,DLH,Verno Phillips and I think Shane would do the same and score a couple late KDs to pull out a close UD.

I presume this is a prime vs prime fight in which case I would pick Quartey. Mosley is great but I don't know if he can take that jab all 12 rounds. I think Mosley might take him off his stride but the jab bothers Mosley quite a bit. A fast stiff jab like Quartey can win Quartey the decision.
