    There's probably more men who'll come to mind, but I just really like exciting guys who made a fight out of it.

    I don't know why, but I've always had a spot in my heart for Howard Davis Jr.

    Don’t get me started. I’ve already realized I omitted Gaspar Ortega and Isaac Logart

    If I had to pick one — and only one — I’d probably go with James Scott.

    But it’s great to see Yaqui Lopez getting so much love here. Very high on my list, probably second to Scott (who, as I’m sure most here know, beat Yaqui).

    Also I’ll give a shoutout here to Frank Fletcher. Guy was an Animal.
