    I only really got into the guy recently after stumbling across a documentary of him on Youtube. The Frias, Kim and Chacon fights were outstanding. Was also really impressed with his performance against Arguello considering he was only 20 at the time, it was very close after 10 rounds then Arguello pulled away.

    He's definitely up there. It amazes me how he would rally back after being rocked.

    Prince Naseem for me.

    Currently Haye and Pacquaio. The Valuev fight was a one off.
