    He'd be revered if he was Pittsburgh Jack O'Brien.

    I, personally, don't know much about him. :|

    I'll do my research on him, I can promise you that. I see he didn't really get his hands on the middleweight title until late his career. Shame.

    Freddie Pendelton comes to mind for some reason. At his best, he was very, very good. Records can be deceiving.

    He isn't one yet, but in 5-10 years he will be for sure. Winky.

    Hah! Great minds think alike.

    Winky is definitely one, as is his one-time conqueror Julio Cesar Vazquez.

    The grab for the title in the post-Ketchel years was insane. Took awhile to establish a true champion.
