    Matthyse vs Garcia didn't even cross my mind, great shout! He looked like a world beater against Peterson.

    You might want to throw in Tommy Hearns after Hagler as well. The defeat to Leonard had various reasons for it's occurrence, but the Hagler fight was a pure war for the first 6 minutes, and Tommy couldn't possibly have hit anyone harder of more accurately, to no avail.

    Garza was the first guy i thought of. Yet another sheltered fighter with awesome power who was found out when the level of opposition rose. He was the next Gomez, hit ever harder than Gomez, etc etc.

    When he went in against Meza he was 40-0 with an incredible 38 ko's. To his credit he did actually drop Meza, who had never been off his feet from memory. He was just so wide open and straight forward tho. The power however.....

    Pretty sure Garza - Meza won round of the year in 84.
