    The Efren Torres thread made me realise how many great fighters are hardly ever mentioned on here. Who would you like to see talked about given more credit?

    Masao Ohba. We constantly talk (quite rightly) about how Sal Sanchez's early death robbed us of an already great fighter who looked set to become even greater, how he'd have done in the mouth-watering fights which could have been made in the years ahead, whether or not he could have been the greatest Featherweight of all time etc. Yet here's another 23 year old whose life was tragically cut short, but who was also already looking like a great Flyweight champion and who we might be talking about as a bonafide legend had fate not dealt him such a cruel hand. Yet the lad hardly gets a mention anywhere.

    All good answers so far.

    I'd like to add Veeraphol Sahaprom, Emile Griffith and Gaspar Ortega. There's 1000s of answers, though.

    Basically, everything below HW but especially the LHWs. :deal:
