    Jose Napoles, guy is so smooth, so calm, so effortless, beautiful to the eye

    You could legitimately instruct a person undergoing a panic attack to watch a bout of Jose Napoles to snap them out of it.

    Stevie Johnston, Reggie Johnson, Anselmo Moreno, Ivan Calderon deserve a shout. Lovely southpaw operators.

    Wilfred Benitez for me is right up there.

    Johnny Nelson is so soothing he could put a case of NoDoz to sleep.
