    Jorge Barrera was a journeyman and older brother of Marco.

    Jorge was stopped by Johnny Tapia in 3 rounds He went 20-9-1-8kos in the Jr Bantamweight division saw him fight at the Forum a couple times wasnt a bad fighter, but not that good either. Workman like Trialhorse type.

    Edwin,Adolfo Viruet

    Im watching Adolpho and Sugar Ray Leonard right now, not a big puncher but physically strong was a solid contender, But i think Edwin was better.

    How in the hell does he get the name "Sniper" if his punches had no precision?

    Both gave ATG's arguably their toughest fights; Hagler (said so himself about Kevin) and Bob Foster (damn competitive fight for Chris)

    How about The Flanagan brothers out of st Paul Minnesota Both had over a 120 pro fights, and are in the World Boxing Hall Of Fame. Glen was a world rated featherweight and lightweight contender and brother Del a world rated Welterweight and middleweight contender. They put Minnesota on the map in the 40s and 50s and fought them all.

    john and george feeney. No world beaters but did himself proud against ray mancini.
    Im surprised no-one has mentioned kirkland laing and his brother (who actually KO'd a world champion)
