Are we to assume Chavez comes in at 142 and McGirt at 147? That's quite a big size advantage for Buddy. Even without the use of his left hook that...
A fight with Oscar would have been one of those annoying could have gone either way DLH welterweight fights he is so known for. Buddy was hard to...
Whitaker was on the way to dominating Ramirez worse than Chavez did in the first fight but then he broke his hand midway through the fight. From...
Yeah but who unified and cleaned out their peak weight division? Oh, wait, never mind....

Consider that Azumah Nelson still performed better in that fight though than guys like Ramirez and Haugen, who did have solid lightweight...
I think like most reasonable, non-biased observers, I was shocked when Steele stopped the fight when watching it for the first time. Looking at it...
