    Sum up ONE fighter with just a few words.

    Marco Antonio Barrera
    A great featherweight amonst a great generation of featherweights. A truly versatile fighter in both temperment and style, who brawled early in his career and boxed at the end of his jab towards the end. His greatest accomplishmet was his two wins in a trilogy against Morales and his win against a yet undefeated Prince Naseem.

    Roberto Duran

    One of the greatest lightweights of all time, who was able to win titles at higher weight classes. Combined great technical skills with a fast, ultra-aggressive, animalistic, versatile attack. Also possessed the reflexes and defensive skill to take less punishment than most aggressive fighters. Defeated fighters such as Sugar Ray Leonard, Ken Buchanan, Esteban De Jesus twice, Iran Barkley, Carlos Palomino, Davey Moore, Ernesto Marcel, and Pipino Cuevas.

    Mike McCallum

    Avoided like the plague until the day he retired, Mike "The Bodysnatcher" McCallum was a consummate professional. A throwback fighter if there ever was one, McCallum relied on no one particular skill, but excelled at all. One of the very most underrated and avoided fighters of his generation.
