    Agreed. Whitaker's workrate and offensive variety often get grossly underrated by the casual fanboys who tend to think of him as nothing but a defensive cutie, mostly just based off the rehashed opinions of others.

    Locche's record speaks for itself...he was amazing. He was never really stopped and was a ring marvel like his countryman Monzon. I would put him in the top 5, maybe the best defensive boxer, and definitely between 20 and 30 overall.

    I rated him top 3 at 140, but also I would add that he is in my view top 5 defensive figher ever
