    Not his most famous win but Id say his best performance was against German Torres.

    Paul Ingle's fight with Naseem Hamed was very entertaining. Even more so his back and forth win against Junior Jones.

    John L Gardner was in some terrific fights in the late 70's / early 80's. Check out his rumble with the criminal bully Paul Sykes.
    British, Commonwealth and European Champion and a real good honest pro. Never gets a mention on here.

    Starling is a great mention. At his best he's not far from great in there. For me Donald Curry's finest hour was being too good for an in form Starling in their rematch. High quality pugilism.

    If Buddy McGirt wasn't still active as a trainer, it would be almost like he never existed.

    He certainly wasn't leading, he was put down twice in the first round or two. But he was certainly catching up at the time he was stopped.
