    I think Derrel Coley is the only top 10 contender he beat. If Campas was still ranked, it was off past rep alone because he was awful in his with Carr and pretty much finished.

    Davis' win over Breland is better than anything he has. Davis also has close loses to Vazquez and Jose Luis Lopez which would've helped his career a lot. And good wins against Paz, Simon Brown, and Tony Marshall.

    The wins against Johnson and Jackson were legit then went up to cruiser and was a force. Too often relegated to just being a tough guy with a lucky punch.

    Julio Cesar Vasquez... Beat Carl Daniels, Winky Wright... and by any fair measure Pernell Whitaker. 10 title defenses. And now forgotten.

    He was so clinical in his approach. I actually felt bad for a few of his opponents.
