    very good fighter, he'll be an HOF'er but he's not an ATG.

    Pathetic poll options. I wouldn't consider him mediocre if my vote is "No". He's definitely an excellent gutsy fighter just definitely not ATG.

    No, he's not. But he was one of the best jr welters of his era and put on exciting fights and had a great career.

    This......crappy ****ing poll options.

    He's far above domestic level hype job, but he falls short of ATGness, due to his being in the shadow of about 5 superior fighters during his SHORT career. '

    I mean, he retired in what, 09, at the age of 32. He still had a few good fights left in him then. Shoulda been satisfied with a long break and a run at euro level fights, before stepping back up to the elite. He coulda racked up a few more solid wins, another title or two, and then retired and been a bit closer to top 25 L/WWs.:think
