    A missed opportunity fight that could have happened between 1989-1991 but never did. Who would you have favored had they fought each other at the time? It would most definitely have been a wild one that's for sure.

    I think Villasana eventually gets to him

    What a fight! Villasana had an iron chin but could be outboxed. Paez was pretty tough especially at feather (never stopped) but struggled with weight. Definately should have lost the 1st Dorsey fight and arguably the 2nd but was brilliant in the 2nd Grove bout and vs Steve Cruz (even though he did suffer a knockdown though not really hurt).
    A fully fit Paez would take a war on points, Jorge from the Dorsey fights could well get stopped late or lose in points. Would be a classic.

    For my money Paez got hit too much to last against someone with a punch like Villasana. It would be a war for the duration though.
