    As a boxer, pretty high, as a dope smuggler, pretty low.

    Great pure boxer. Not a helluva lot of power though.

    People recommended his fights against Eduardo Marquez, Daniel Reyes, and Bustos a while back (they've been on my to-watch list for a while now).

    Varela and Cazares come to mind as well. Segura 1 was a great fight although Ivan lost by KO as he was already in his mid 30s, ancient for a flyweight.

    Your answers are much appreciated. On a side note I had no idea about the drug thing. Just stupid.

    Lovely boxer, wonderful mover, I loved him. Went off the cliff like an absolute mother****er, you could kind of see it coming but it still stung. Even guys who at the ring up tended to get nowhere near.
