    Only seen very little but I love the way he operates. Just a professional.

    Great fighter. One of the best at his weight, maybe the best. One of my favorites.

    Eddie reminded me of Sammy Goss in that he did the basics so thoroughly well. Fighting a who's who from the jr welter and welter class of his day the only fighter who really outclassed him was Jose Naples and theres no shame in that. A solid champion who doesn't get much writ here on East side.

    Class fighter. A real road warrior too, his record puts Glen Johnson to shame.

    I believe he holds the record for most countries visited by a fighter. I think it's 23 and several of them more than once. His loss record has to be taken with a grain of salt with so many on the road.

    His fights with Loi were B.S. decisions. He won all of those.

    I havent seen the first one but the 2nd and 3rd Ortiz/Loi fights were Ortiz IMO. I like Loi a lot. He had a fun style and was a tremendous fighter but he didnt beat Ortiz or Perkins.
