    Some others: Frazier, Moore, Galindez, Benton, McCallum, Locche, Dupas, Benitez, Curry, Starling, Canzoneri, I. Williams, Whitaker, Chocolate, Sanchez, Pedroza, M. Ortiz, Rose (schooled Harada in the pocket), Herrera, C. Castillo, Lora, Canizales, Espadas, Chang, Yuh, Zapata, etc.

    All to some extent have really impressed me with their skills in the pocket.

    all those names and no Roberto Duran. I wanted to say Locche but there you have it. Marc Johnson wasn't so exclusively in the ocket but he was sweet in there.
