    He's one of the toughest opponents Alvarez had at or near his best weight and arguably nicked him in a fight that should have been for THE Junior Middleweight Championship. That's nothing to scoff at. He also schooled Trout and debatably defeated Castano before the latter went on to fight for the Lineal crown. Add in a smattering of quality wins and I think he's done well for himself. I just don't think he's done quite enough to warrant Canastota enshrinement. I do think he's one of the great 154-pounders, however, and 160 is weak at the moment. Maybe he can beef up his resume.
