    I like this performance by Archie Moore:

    Keep in mind he was in his mid 40's for this one. Really turned the tables on a fighter who had given him hell in their first fight.

    I pick Hagler, but if he got it wrong he could lose.

    Yes, at close range. I think Tiger's strength might play against him though. Nothing could compel Hagler to stay in there after he's been manhandles (or something like it) by Tiger.

    I'm not being sensitive at all.

    I agree with the KO pick but I thin it might happen a little earlier, in fact.

    Chalky Wright.

    And yeah, very good. 3-0 against Maxim for Moore, or the 5-0 for Charles, contributes a lot.

    Chalky Wright went to a majority decision with Cocoa Kid. Wright was a featherweight while Cocoa Kid was a welterweight. :good

    Yeh Wright was a solid fighter dotn know too much about him but he was a HUGE puncher i am led to beleive especially for a Featherweight. Bigger than Saddler (Pep says).

    Need to do some more research on Wright

    Orlando Canizales is about equal if not more skilled than half of your list. Go check out his fight with Seabrooks on youtube. It'll blow you away.
