No - in the same way Hearns' rapier-fast jab didn't either. Even though Quartey might be seen to have a better chin than Hearns, he never met anyone as multi-dimensional as Leonard. Leonard late.
Ike's footwork was pedestrian. His jab was booming, but Ray's left hook and better movement would give him a decided advantage. He would also time the jab with his right. Ike's chin rarely let him down, but Ray would hammer him all night.
I do. I could easily see him landing that flurry that DLH landed on Quartey in the 12th round, but for a much longer time and at a faster and more accurate pace with harder shots from both hands.
Leonard stops Quartey almost for certain. DLH nearly pulled it off, and Leonard was several cuts above.
Ike was very durable. De La Hoya was never close to stopping him. I agree that ray would do it longer and faster, but disagree that his left hook was more powerful than Oscar's. If Oscar had nothing else (except pretty boy looks) he had a wicked left hook.
Then you're a fool. If Ray got Ike in the same type of trouble Oscar had him in (which he would), Ike would be a goner. Leonard in 10.
If only boxing was that simple. With your logic Leonard shoul dhave stopped Hearns in their 2nd fight in about....say...three rounds. Considering what Barkley had done to Hearns.
Leonard via TKO 12 He's too fast and too powerful, and his stamina was better than Ike's also. Quartey would be competitive and he'd have some success but he gets beat by the better guy.
Leonard not only gets Quartey in the same condition DLH did in the 12th when he had him on Queer Street, he does it earlier and he finishes the job... Leonard was a maniacal finisher. And I think Leonard definitely cracked harder at 147 than DLH did, and he did it with two hands
