    Yes,agree with that.Think a peak Pastrano beats a peak Torres.Harry Carpenter said to Terry before the fight that Pastrano wasnt a puncher and was told that he "never hit a TV commentator".He also said at one time that Paul Pender could punch also.Got the Pastrano vs Johnson fight on tape and its a classic boxing match,cant pick a winner,though.I wonder how Johnson would have done against Willies UK opponents?I suspect that,at his peak,he would have beaten them all because of his punch.Sorry for going off the discussion.

    :goodThanks for that info TED..it's a well kept secret that those guys who weren't supposed to have any power could, if they so chose to, send an opponent to dream land. I guess throwing power shots interrupted the flow of their jab and move artistry. Pastrano is a favorite of mine.
