    How much can you guys tell me about Serrano, as he has slipped under my radar? He won the WBA SFW belt in 76 and held it till he lost to Uehara in the upset of the year 1980, won it back the following year untill Roger Mayweather stopped him in 83. Recognized as ring champion 6 out of 7 years rated in their top 10 for 9 consecutive years at SFW.

    Yet he never seemed to meet any of the other top flight SFW's of the day. he missed:
    Arguello, Everett, Escalera, Limon, Chacon, Baltazar, Navarrete, Boza Edwards, Rosario, Camacho and more.

    Why did he not ever get a fight with any of those guys....for those who know him how do you think he would fare against them? How would he compare to say a Brian Mitchell or john John Molina type?

    Thanks in advance for any info and/or opinions!

    I have watched and was rewatching his fight with Roger, and really don't know much about him outside of this...since he was 31 and on the tail end of his career i don't want to misjudge him based upon this fight alone.
