    What does the number stand for? Title defenses? You're not going to tell me you think Danell Nicholson actually won a legit belt, are you? If you are, then how about Brien Nielsen, or Lionel Butler?

    Nah - I'm giving a very rough (personal) opinion of what mark out of 10 these guys managed in their fighting careers, on the potential their skills achieved.
    Wholly subjective, I know, and some of these guys, you may opine, over or under achieved.
    They're just fighters who, for one reason or another, I really took to....

    George and Tony Collins? You've got to be kidding, those guys were the definition of protected fighters with a padded record who got found out when they stepped up in class.

    Yes, but he will probably make it into the hall of fame next year, and his son may win a title coming up, giving him some much deserved shine.

    Scrap Iron Ryan was always going to be KO'd by the first decent puncher he faced.

    He was kinda like Julian Jackson but lesser power and a glass jaw.

    The shot that Jon Thaxton hit him with was THE best I've ever seen. Better than Jackson vs Graham and Pacquiao vs Hatton put together!!
