    He was the next middleweight champion.

    The history books will record his name in that imortal lineage 100 years from now.

    Pacquaio definitely had everyone fooled, so did Felix Trinidad. I mean both are good but never P4P no1 level boxers

    Ricardo Mayorga defiantly flattered to deceive in a few fights sadly.

    Michael Nunn. The guy had SKILLS. Where did it all go wrong?

    JC just utterly ruined Lacy. It was a blessing for Lacy that for whatever reason Calzaghe resorted to slapping that he didn't haver any more pop on his punches..Lacy may never have even stepped through the ropes again..remember, all the experts were sure that Jeff was going to steam roll Joe.

    Well, in retrospect, nobody fooled us like Buster Douglas.

    Mayorga had a good style matchup against Forrest, but he was not that good. Nunn? Like Tyson. his prime was so short and he started to set down on his punches more and maybe he believed the Kalambay punch was legit. Either way he declined from 1988 to 1991 big.
