    Trinidad. By far.

    He really won but technically lost. Biggest fight at that time.

    Fernando Vargas and Shane Mosley 1 were his most exciting fights.

    His best boxing performance was during the first 8 rounds of the Trinidad fight. Him running the last few rounds kind of sours it though. Probably the Chavez fight. He tore JCC a new one and that win was highly acclaimed by most at the time, discounting the haters and loyal Chavez fanatics.

    Also against Quartey he got mad respect for proving his mettle in that furious final round, even if it wasn't a convincing win. I remember the Ring had it on their cover hailing him after that win. The Vargas fight as mentioned is right up there too

    It had two good rounds. Pretty much all of the rest of the fight was slow. The Vargas and Mosley fights were good all the way through.

    The victory over Ike Quartey, was impressive. Running from Tito, for 4 rounds was not.
