    Gatti was the first name that jumped to mind when I saw the thread title.

    Siri Salido at 35 still fighting the best and been in several FOTY's. Not the slickest, strongest, or fastest, but he knows every trick in the book and make your nuts hurt for a week pounding them when the ref ain't looking. Underrated and underappreciated. Most fighters of his generation have retired, but he is like a cacaroach that only laughs at you when you empty a spray can of Raid. Salido should be a future legend that would make Thunder Gatti proud.

    I thought Montiel was pretty good a small guy who moves well and can fight on the inside. He is to ridiculously tiny though

    Nobody is schooling Beterbiev easily, the guy hits like a truck, and has a high boxing IQ Beterbiev will inevitably win a world title, he only has a few fights. :rocker:

    I scored that fight 7-5 for Mayweather too. Some people were talkign about Mayweather won 9 or 10 rounds is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

    Leo Santa Cruz- 3 weight world champ


    JuanMa Lopez- 2 weight world champ

    Zab Judah- 6 belts across 2 weight classes, undisputed in one, gifted title shots 1 after another

    Iran Barkley- 3 weight world champ

    Carl Froch- unified world champ, impressive resume for a man with his style

    Jermain Taylor- undisputed, 2 time MW champion, gifted decisions over Cory Spinks and Winky Wright

    Charles Martin- IBF Heavyweight champ without really having to do much

    Randall Bailey- 3 time, 2 weight world champ who won fights basically on his power alone. The Mike Jones fight was the biggest fluke I've seen in a while.

    Andre Berto- 2 time welterweight champ who managed to have a ranking and world belt in a stacked WW division, was fortunate that the Mosley fight fell through.

    Daniel No Mas Geale- Unified MW Champ

    Arthur Abraham- 3 time, 2 weight world champ. How he managed to be the top dog at SMW with a belt despite being shot to **** is still a mystery.

    Felix Sturm- too easy
