    What are they? Malignaggi's effort against Cotto is the only one I can think of at the moment.

    Vitali against Lewis is a good one. In addition to winning the event, Vitali redeemed his damaged reputation from the Byrd fiasco. He went from just another Euro bum to a world class hw in many people's eyes.

    Way too many to name, but since almost every single person on ESB seems to have nothing but bad **** to say about him, I'll give him props...Malignaggi really hung in there and showed some balls against Cotto.
