    Hands down Cervantes. What a terrific fighter.

    He´s not the best fighter on the list but Fidel Bassa is my favourite. Seeing him getting off the floor (that 9th round is a classic) repeatedly to outlast brave Dave McCauley.

    Returns for the rematch and basically wins nearly every round. Ireland´s McCauley would hammer the undefeated (in London) to finally become champion and became a really good champion.

    Bassa made 6 defences with only one at home. Was a solid puncher, good boxer, solid but not great chin. Always made for fun fights.

    Split between Cervantes and Lora but I might have to go with Happy. One of the most entertaining defensive boxers IMO.

    Ha ha, indeed he was. Jesus. I am rusty these days. :lol: I could have sworn he had a Columbian flag behind him in the Hoko fights.*




    * I may have to call in The Mandela Effect. :D
