    Chucho Castillo. Extremely under-rated batamweight. Took Ruben Olivares 0.

    Mustafa Hamsho: beat Czyz. Would’ve won a title if Hagler wasn’t in his way.

    Oba Carr: fought and lost title fights to Trinidad, Quartey, and Oscar.

    Rocky Juarez: just couldn’t get it done against the very best.

    Orlando Canizales seems to get the knock that he never fought anyone or was in a weak era, but I think he had the skills to compete at a top level in any era. Not saying he would beat the top in any era, but if he lost it wouldn't be a shutout or a one punch knockout.

    I take the view you win the World title you have proved yourself top dog, numero uno, respect is merely anothers opinion or feeling, so i say is very secondary.

    Do i want to be the Champ or be respected.......give me the belt everytime, if nothing else being the belt holder earns you the biggest purse.

    One of the most pleasing style boxers I've ever seen. He's actually the fighter that Loma kinda reminds me of.

    Mike McCallum. He was every bit as good as Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard. Would have loved to see him in with those guys.

    Bradley definitely. Holmes was as overrated as they come.

    he didn't think anyone could take his power back then. sadly obese 80's and 90's Foreman had vastly superior stamina to 70's Foreman.

    Adonis Stevenson. The best 175 resume currently belongs to him, even before Alvarez took out Kovalev.
