    He did unify, but I wouldn't rate his body of work above Winky or McCallum for that matter..

    I just made a thread about the greatest boxers in every weight class and at 154 i put Winky though it is still up for debate. I'm leaning towards Mike Mccallum

    I'd favor at least 6 of those guys over Norris.

    At least:

    Thomas Hearns
    Mike McCallum
    Winky Wright
    Julian Jackson
    Felix Trinidad
    Wilfred Benitez

    With guys like Vargas and Vasquez as possibilities. I don't think Oscar matches up well with Norris.

    Vargas beat Winky that fight was not a robbery by any means I don't get why people think that it is,Vargas took the early rounds and middle rounds people just think he might've lost because he was tiring in the 9th round. But Vargas won that fight fair and square.

    Vargas was getting his ass handed to him in that fight. Regardless, getting knocked out by Tito, Oscar, and Shane is not an achievement like the other poster suggested.

    A draw is the best I could see for Vargas, giving him every close round.
