Well let's see, Won the title against a tough Mexican fighter Mario Martinez. Defended it Ten times succesfully. Against the likes of Lockridge,Laporte,Mayweather. Moved up & demolished Edwin Rosario. Unified the championship by defeating Jose Luis Ramirez. Moved up again by defeating Mayweather. All this and he was also undefeated in 80 something odd fights- I'd say that damn impressive- For any fighter!
Mighty impressive: Mayweather (twice) LaPorte Rosario Ramirez Martinez Even his second tier title opponents and non title wins were pretty decent Cortes Fuentes Vice An ancient Limon Carbrera Perez Bumphus Chavez post Rosario, was Tyson aside, as good as boxing got in the late 80s.....
Damned impressive resume. Even more impressive was the way he dominated most of his opposition. Julio Cesar Chavez was phenomenal. One of the best fighters to come down the pike in a long, long time. And it's the quality of opposition and the way you beat them that determines this.
