    Greg the Flea Richardson beating Jibaro Perez deserves mention.

    I quite like Richardson as far as pure stick and move stylists go and wouldn't call him mediocre perse.He had a nice busy rapid-fire jab and a good workrate, just not much strength or power.

    That said, he should have been nowhere near beating Perez, both as a stylistic matchup and purely ability-wise.It showed how far the party animal Mexican had slumped during his reign and it only got worse for him from here on.

    Haven't read through the whole thread. But Jaime Garza was on a serious streak and being talked up big, before Kid Meza stopped him in a round. He never really recovered.
