    Buddy McGirt x 2
    Also Jorge Paez was a good one.

    I'll go with his unanimous decision win over Hall of Famer Azumah Nelson.

    Probably over Vasquez for the WBA 154 title, everything that happened after that win didn't matter. That solidified him as one of the greatest boxers in history..

    Vs. Azumah "the distinguished Professor" Nelson.

    Azumah was completely on top of the world, a long reigning two division champion and stepped up a division and got Sweet Pee'd

    It's between Nelson, McGirt and Vazquez for me.

    I did always think he beat De La Hoya, Ramirez and Chavez, though.
