    The other day I was watching Doug Jones vs Bob Foster and my ****ing God Foster looks horrible, the way he evolved is really impressive. In this fight against Jones he looks like a guy that just hit the gym and was boxing for a few months. Then, later, we know what happened, he became a great fighter and a H2H monster.

    Monzón is also one guy that deserves sa mention.
    Who else ?

    Some good choices here.

    Bernard and MAB were the first 2 names that jumped to mind for me.

    I remember sitting with my Dad watching the Mayweather-Corrales fight and sat numb at one of the greatest performances I had seen against top-notch opposition. I turned to my Dad when the fight was stopped and said, "Dad, we have just watched one of the greatest jr. lightweights of all-time." Fast forward a few years later and I cannot express the boredom I suffered watching the safety-first, shoulder-rolling Mayweather in "action." What a difference.
