Its all good bro :good

 

Reggie Johnson
Prince Charles Williams


British:

Andy Till
Shea Neary

 

Your ratings are off! I dont think Breland deserves a 9 for his career if anything i think he was a dissapointment,compared to how well everyone else thought hed turn out.

Reid was very good but only for a short period definitley not at9

Guys who got lower scores than them but achieved more credibility in my opinion are
Molina,Manfredy.Simon brown,Stevie Johnston, Michael Nunn were all fighters held in higer regard than the Reid and Breland.

 

Guys who id put on here would be.

Hector Lopez- should have got the nod over a rising Kostya Tszyu, he lost a few close decisions that should have gone his way.

Zack "Attack" Padilla- Super tough and broke all the compupunch records,too bad he never got that big fight with Sweet Pea that was talked about, cause he deserved a big Payday and time in the spotlight. Had great Gym wars with Mosley,CHicanito.

Lupe Aquino- Great Puncher excellent Chin short time as JM champ. Hopkins once said that Aquino was the toughest dude he ever fought,and Aquino was already past it by then.

Livingstone Bramble- He was very good in his short time as champ,but after Rosario knocked him out he was not an elite fighter anymore and eventually fought as a journeyman and steppingstone for many years.

Oba Carr- Always put up a tough fight in title fights. Unfortunatly for him the guys he had to beat were all Upper tier PFP guys like Delahoya,Tito,Quartey would have got a world title if he had fought in other division.

Paul Banke- Tough dude had a big win over Zarragoza and a lot of heart. He ended up having to retire after getting Hiv but hes healthy to this day, from what i Here.


Many other guys but these ones are forgotten warriors that immediatly came to mind.

 

Wilfredo Rivera is another forgotten guy who was pretty damn good! I thought he was robbed against Whittaker in the first fight. His fight with Mosley was pretty even until Mosley came back to stop him in the last round. Put Vargas on his ass before Vargas came back. In his prime the only one to not have a tough time with him was a prime Oscar.

Crisanto Espana- Man this guy was very good and looked real impressive when he stopped Meldrick Taylor, He lost to Ike Quartey but gave him hell before losing.

Jose L Lopez- Best punch and Best Chin the Welter division has seen in Years!

 

Yey i liked him too:good

Gaby Canizales- was pretty awesome in his prime didnt have the boxing skills his little brother Orlando had but was a bigger puncher. He looked like a little Duran against Richie Sandoval,also gave ATG Bantam champ Jeff Chandler a run for his money.

Frankie Duarte- This guy had a lot of heart and very exciting. Was robbed in a title shot against Bernardo Pinango who i think beat Gaby Canizales. Duarte had a good run in his second career after getting Clean/Sober and coming back as a top tier contender.

 

Tony Sibson, Doug DeWitt, Juan Coggi, Juan Roldan, Henry Maske, Harold Brazier, Andy Ganigan, Roger Mayweather.

 

Harold Braizer was a good shout out I remember Al Bernstien use to bust a nut every time Braizer would fight The nuthugging that Bernstien did was embarrassing However Braizer did have a good set of technichal skills and was a throwback to the Blue Collar fighters of the past who fought anyone anywhere anytime. Almost pulled out a win against Roger Mayweather in a title shot.

Thomas Tate
Merqui Sosa-------Both these guys were very tough and put on some great fights.

Joe Hipp- This was one tough Indian with decent skills and a good chin to go along with a lot of heart decent punch but his defense was never too good. this was one Fat heavyweight that was well liked by the fans.

Bollilo Gonzalez- big bomber and put on some great fights
Sammy Fuentes - same as Gonzalez. Thought he was really skilled early on his career but was put in to quick and eventually became just a slugger but he was very fast and had good skills early on in his career.

Frankie Warren- Buzzsaw was only a 5-3 Jw and had some life and death fights with Buddy Mcgirt. Wasnt the same after that.

 

Can anybody post a vid of the thaxton ko, not seen that one, thanks i advance. also answer to thread, kirkland laing is brit. possibly scott harrison???

 

At a world level, it's my second fave fighter (after Lennox) lloyd Honeyghan. He should be a HoF-er
