    Give me some recommendations on some underrated slick fighters to watch. Examples are McCallum or Pedroza.

    Joey Giardello - as slick as a ****d ice cube. Saoul Mamby never got stopped and kept good company. He had his last fight at 61 years of age.

    Eddie Machen tried to be on the slick side. Harold Johnson is overlooked.

    Excellent choices...I would add Willie Pastrano and Joey Archer.

    Terrific choice. So slick we've almost forgotten him but a cracking little champion.

    Duilio Loi was another little guy who does under the radar a bit but had a great record despite decidedly average power.

    Willie wasn't half slick (ib and out of the ring, apparently) apart from that night when he rightly said that he was 'in Madison Square Garden getting the sh*t kicked out of me'!

    Apparently he sparred with a young CassiusClay who made him look a bit poor. More a reflection of Casius being amazing than any sleight on Willlie.
