            you gotta have Barkley in there. man was never in a dull fight.
            Arce seems to always be in barnburners. Katsidis as well, somewhat.

            Israel or Rafa Marquez should get mentioned once or twice. I havent seen a lot of Rafas career, but Vasquez was in multiple wars.

                    I was gonna include him, actually, but I felt like most of his real wars were on a stage lower than the other guys. Oscar Larios and Jhonny Gonsalez don't really stack up against the others...although his best fights were easily the Marquez wars. So yeah, gotta include him...maybe take out Trinidad?
