    jorge arce vs vasquez jr,
    mike maccalum vs James toney(he beated toneys overrated ass in all 3 fights)
    Pernell whitaker vs Oscae de la hoya
    michael carbajal vs jorge Arce

    eric morales vs marcos ''i'm really a bum'' maidana (everyone said morales was gonna die in the ring:patsch)
    Michael Gomez vs Amir King Con-a prime gomez would have sparked him

    I don't think most saw Quartey as washed up. At least not from what I read and remember. Just too inactive and past his prime days.

    Everyone expected Pavlik to do a number on B-Hop, Sugar Shane v Margo, Duran v Barkley especially after Barkley had stopped Hearns and more lately.. Morales v Maidana.

    barkley was an average fighter of that era, obviously if you cloned him and brought him to this eras middleweight division he'd probably haul allot of ass,

    Holy vs. Valuev. While a horrible decision, probably kept Holy from more damage from a top contender.

    Morales vs Pacquiao

    Morales had just clearly lost to a past prime Barrera, only 3 months later beat Manny Pacquiao!! His loss to Zahir Raheem further shows evidence that Morales had deteriorated greatly.
