    Great fights/fighters nobody talks about?

    What fights or fighters do you feel are very good/great but don't seem to get any recognition throughout the boxing community?

      Antonio Cervantes. Great 140lb champ, arguably the best overall, he just had the misfortune to run into the two greatest defensive fighters ever and a whirlwind in Pryor at the end of his career.

              Vicente Saldivar usually get no mention what so ever when people talk about great Mexicans and Southpaws, imo he's top 5 in both categories and no lower.
              Also his trilogy with Winstone isn't talked about much but is incredible, especially the 2nd fight.

                    I think I did a thread about Dixon on this forum, I'll see if I can find it and bump it.

                    Julio Cesar Vasquez to a lesser degree. He had some good wins including a solid beating of Winky Wright.
