    Somewhat of a misleading comment seeing as Erik Morales was undefeated from 1993 too 2002. Beat only once in his prime by an A+ fighter.

    Never really been one to have favourites (just a fan of boxing as a whole and not particular fighters) but if there's been fighters i've had a soft spot for in this period then two come to mind and thats El terrible Morales and Tito Trinidad.

    well we're talking about this decade.

    and if you start introducing stipulations for losses, not being in prime, in shape, focused etc. then no boxer would have a competitive loss.

    Morales is my number 1, that's about as big a compliment as I can give him.

    I don't introduce stipulations, I introduce common sense. Your wording was misleading, not a big deal.
