    And in a slight twist on the subject,Barrera got a lot further than expected when he changed his style to prolong his career.
    And Jim Watt went a million miles further than anyone expected.

    pauli malignaggi, 2 weight world champ. incredible for a guy who lacks power and has an almost none existent right hand

    I'd say Baldomir & Malignaggi are both prime examples of fighters who pushed further than most ever expected.
