blackrican23 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 yes or no? in 2003, Ring magazine listed him 46th on its top 100 hardest punchers in boxing history -- he also compiled a terrific record (36-1, 31 KOs), was regarded as the world's No. 1 featherweight for several years, was high on most pound-for-pound lists and went 10-1 with eight knockouts against titleholders and Hall of Famers. He lost a decision to an all-time great in 2001 I say yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBF OG mexfighter Posted October 29, 2014 WBF OG Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think he might have needed 1 or 2 more defining fights to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBF OG Neil_ Posted October 29, 2014 WBF OG Share Posted October 29, 2014 which fight do you think he lost ? i think he lost to barrera. but there were guys willing to face him who he didnt beat. anyone who was a highly ranked featherweight around that time was willing. including marquez who was his mandatory for like 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
