I first saw him in Sydney in 2000 (this was the last year i was in boxing at 17 before i quit) and i loved his peak-a-boo style, the way he would get off his punches from the guard really impressed me for some reason. His showing against Cotto was fairly decent but he didnt have the power to trouble him and Cotto sort of...mowed him down. lmao. But it was still a fighter i enjoyed watching during his brief career.

This was a guy i genuinely thought would be incredible, Mayweather Sr as his trainer, quickness, head movement, power, speed, i thought he had it all. He didint embody your prototypical mexican fighter, he was a student of the sweet science and didint rely on taking one to get one. Instead he ended up losing to Jesse James Leija (with mcgirt in his corner) and faded into obscurity, in 2006 he was supposed to have a comeback but i never heard from him ever again, biggest dissapointment since...

In a way i sort of feel for him because his showdown with Humberto Soto was actually supposed to setup a fight against Pacquiao, instead after dismantling soto (in one of the best fight posters i can remember) Arum wanted no parts and Pacquiao fought marquez for a second time, from then on weight issues and his eventual decline made little tyson little more than another fighter in a long line of inevitable dissapointments within the sport. I loved his shoulder roll, combinations and dominant ring generalship. However his dedication to the sport just couldnt hold up.
