    A tremendous amateur fighter. He had a distinguished career there, beating guys like Vernon Forrest.

    By the time he turned pro, he was already a very polished, well-rounded fighter. He fought guys like LaPorte and Bramble very early on. I believe he was in Ring Magazine's P4P list after 14 fights.

    He beat Roger Mayweather easily and battered a shot Julio Cesar Chavez.

    He was on the wrong end of Rings upset of the year, being stopped by Vince Phillips. He came back even stronger and beat some very good competition while establishing himself as the best junior-welter on the world. Ruelas, Hurtado, MA Gonzalez, Mitchell and, most famously, Zab Judah were beaten in style.

    He had a stiff jab which he sometimes used as a range-finder for his right hand. His straight-right was a thing of beauty - his timing and accuracy was impeccable and it held genuine ko power.

    No matter your stance, style or speed, he would find a way to land that punch.

    He didn't go to the body as much as he should have, relying on the accuracy of his head shots. When he did go downstairs, as against Hurtado, he was devastating.

    He often employed a wide stance with his hands held low. It was unorthodox and he looked vulnerable but it worked for him. He could see the punches coming and could get full extension on his counters.

    At 35, lost a foul filled fight against Hatton, whose swarming style gave him problems.

    Despite a relatively weak resume for a Hall Of Famer, he was one of the best 140lb'ers ever who could trouble any other fighter from history at that weight.

    Good example of an effective Boxer/Puncher. Very accurate, tends to get either underrated or overrated depending on who you ask. Was the first to expose Zab Judah in hilarious fashion.
