    Ike would beat the living shit outta Thurman. He'd even beat a prime Thurman, so given that Thurman is faded now, Ike stops him.

    I'd also take Ike over the current Pac. Prime Pac beats prime Ike, but not the current Pac.

    That leaves Crawford and Spence... not sure. Neither of those two have faced a guy on Ike's level. Quartey certainly presents problems for both, but its difficult to say who would win. Crawford and Spence are too good to say that Ike automatically wins, but I wouldnt rule Quartey out.

    I'd pick Ike over Jermell Charlo, Hurd, and J-Rock without thinking twice. Those guys are decent fighters, but nothing more. I cant pick them to do what Vargas did, cause Nando was a helluva lot better than all three.

    quartey would beat most if not all of these guys. Id probably favor crawford over him, but thats it.

    Provided he could handle Ike's power...

    Buds chin isn't great. I'm not sure who wins that one.

    crawford has shown he can take punches. one shot isnt gonna hurt him bad enough to take him outta there. youre gonna have to follow up with multiple heavy shots to get rid of him

    I'll probably watch Quartey-Espana tonight. I havent watched it a few years. Love that fight.

    crawford is smaller but a lot more skilled than espana. quartey got a bit better skillwise since then but he was stronger at the weight in 94 than 99

    Ike was probably at his true peak in the Philip's fight.
