    Jem Carney deserves a mention.

    Very good wins, and an almost freakish ability to do better as the fight progressed and wear down opponents.

    Padillia was very good and its a shame hes forgotten. Olson was of a caliber where it is unsurprising he is forgotten.

    Boza was in the top 10 by then.Wanted to see him get a shot at Bramble. Unfortunately he fought Camacho who was a horrible matchup stylewise for him.

    Also Howard Davis and Frankie Randall.

    Blake was on the way down after 83.

    Brilliant shout. Excellent little fighter which, at featherweight, I'd say is solidly in the very good-great tier of fighters. Like Morales and Barrera. I'd actually give him good odds of beating both.

    Shows you how good Ernesto Marcel was. Another semi-forgotten great.
