    Guy fought for 20 years between 1987 to 2007 and was one of the few people in the modern era that I can think of who accumulated over 140 fights. He was stopped only twice and that was when he was past prime and fighting well above his original best class.. Even chalked up a few title fight wins too.. Pretty impressive career I think.

    Locomotora was an underrated fighter for sure. Game as the day is long. More skilled than given credit for. He would have kept on fighting but a car wreck ruined him.

    Reggie Johnoson get terribly robbed against Castro.
    Very tough fighter, strong but very limited skills.
