    With apologies to Mantequilla...Who is Cuba's greatest fighter?
    15 rounds.

    I love you dpw!

    Gavilan greater. LMR and Gavilan would be a tremendous fight by the way.

    Flea Man is the man...far as I'm concerned! Appreciate you putting up that Starling/Brown fight awhile back...Wanted to see that thing for years..haha!
    I go back and forth H2H...(agree that Gavilan greater overall career...but maybe not if LMR would have gotten the correct calls IMO) Cheers!

    Quite possibly....or if Benvenuti hadn't thrown the best punch of his career!

    That's true...Gotta give Benvenuti credit, he did pull it out...But LMR at that time had considerable mileage.

    No doubt, but with his incredible middleweight resume he deserves to be ranked alongside Burley and Williams as one of the best to never win a world title there.

    That's an affirmative from this side too...Totally agree. But I'm an admitted LMR apologist too...:lol:
