I really appreciate this fighter's technique and resume. He's got some very good wins and is one of the great H2H 140-pounders from what I could see. Shame he didn't get a few of the big names at the time that he could have. How do you rank him?
Always rated him as my #1 junior welterweight champ of all time. The Duran fight at that time would have been intense and I was waiting for it to happen. Alas, we as fans lost out on that one. Scartissue
He is definitely a top 5 jw maybe even as high as 3. I have Chavez 1 and Pryor 2. Depends in what order would you rate Cervantes,Loi,Locche Tszyu? I think those 4 are all very close.
Although Cervantes and Locche fought twice.... I think Cervantes had not hit his prime yet the first time.. And i think Locche was past his the second time.
Oh yes...and absolute prime for prime I think Locche would have beaten him, athough by a bit...just a bit closer margin.
I think prime for prime, he could have frustrated and outdone Pryor, keeping him at the end of that long hard right hand.
How they fit in a list, I don't know, as I don't make lists anymore, but to rank them respectively, I'd say.. Ross McLarnin Berg
Cervantes against a 140 lb Duran would have been a toss-up. Duran jumped past Wilfred & Cervantes at 140.
