    Emmanual Augustus: extremely skilled, but made a lot of poor decisions, took fights on short notice, got jobbed several times.

    Grady Brewer: Grady is 38 years old with a record of 26-11. He took a fight with Pavlik on 2 weeks notice. Went the distance with JT on 5 weeks notice. Got jobbed a few times, and generally made a variety of poor chocies. On the other side of the coin, he won the contender season two, holds wins over Bundrage, Forbes, and Anthony Thomspson, and has stolen zeros from 4 undefeated fighters. In his last outing he fought 18-0 Albert Onolunose, and knocked him spark the **** out in the 2nd round. At age 38 Grady now appears to be fighting better than ever, but I think it's to late for him to ever make any real noise. That ship sailed 5 or 6 years ago.

    Emmanuel Augustus is the first name that pops into my head. Tremendous amounts of style. Many high level boxers respect him too. PBF is one fighter i can remember that praises Emmanuel Augustus on his skill

    Whats wrong with Ricardo Torres Brawler? He was one of the names I thought of. He would need a awesome resume anyway to come close to his level of skill, but in reality there are few big names on his record. To be fair I don't know much about that division but I don't recognise many opponents, but there are no Carbajals or Gonzalez's on there.

    Ricardo Lopez's resume is excellent, IMO - and plenty of stoppage wins as well.

    The lighter guys very rarely engage in unification fights, tending to hide behind belts to make decent money.

    Lopez fought anyone and everyone willing to face him.

    Torres isn't all that though :lol:

    He had more chances than just about anyone. Where does this "could have" rubbish come from? Having handspeed and being flashy alone isn't enough to be a great fighter.
