http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjTHLPmfBCQ How good was he? Very underated and forgotten about these days
I was fortunate enough to see him fight in his prime...to me he's a top 15-20 p4p of all time and i'd probably put him only behind the great Roberto Duran as far as LW's go...I truly believe he was the greatest defensive fighter ever- that's including Willie Pep- and if he had more pop in his punch, he probably would've went down in the top 7-10 ever..he made fighters look really, really stupid
And he called him "forgotten". Sorry, but as big a Pea fan as I am, he's about the last fighter I'd consider forgotten or underrated on this board.
Huge sweet pea fan here and I agree that its ridiculous to think he is somehow underrated on ESB. beautiful stuff to watch though.
