    Fernando Vargas. The man put up a resume with Raul Marquez,Ray Joval,Shane Mosley 2x,Winky Wright,Ike Quartey,Ricardo Mayorga,Javier Castejllo,Felix Trinidad,Yory Boy Campas,Oscar De la Hoya all before the age of 30. Thats a ****ing warrior right there. Who else just pops right back up without even taking a 8 count vs DLH or Trinidad ? Fight Shane Mosley with 1 eye and still do damn good ? Or pull out a decision agianst Winky Wright even when he was sick ?

    De La Hoya and Hatton weren't real challenges?

    Winky Wright deserves a lot of credit. Ever since he lost to Vargas in 1999, he's been taking on any fighter that would get in the ring with him. After he beat Mosley, he immediately gave Mosley the rematch. He then fought Tito. He then fought Soliman, Quartey, and J. Taylor. And he took the fight to Taylor the whole fight despite being the noticeably smaller guy. And then, he moved up way over his weight limit to fight Hopkins and he was the guy coming forward in that fight also. I don't know what's up with Winky now but he's a warrior.

    Amsterdam, ol' buddy, I was very impressed with your initial post...on many levels. Good work there.

    ** I noticed you did infact even give nice kudos to fighters you have openly stated to "hate", very objectionable of you sir.

    pacquiao makes it on that list. barrera, jmm, morales one after another deserves massive credit.

    miranda is a nut will also fight anyone.

    kessler going after calzaghe last year, and figting everyone notable in his weight class is a good mention.

    shane mosley has fought wright and forrest in their primes, guys who no one wanted anything to do with. still seeks out the toughest fights.

    emmanuel augustus, what else needs to be said about him?

    Taylor is one of the first names I'd put on that list too... The guy will fight anyone I'm sure of it.

    Hopkins, Hopkins, Spinks, Wright, Pavlik, Pavlik...

    That's a helluva run, that's a career right there in this day in age.

    Fine post PoW, as I've come to expect from you on here. Your one of the tops, no doubt, even if we do finally find ourselves directly on opposite sides of the fence in the near future.:good
