        nnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooo...across the board.

        all were good fighters at one point (gatti being the worst of the bunch), but they are not great.

              Wat ya think

              1)FERNANDO VARGAS- Vargas has lost all of his BIG FIGHTS. He was given a gift decision over Winky, but he lost all his big,defining fights(Trinidad,DLH,Mosley,Mayorga)

              2)VERNON FORREST- Forrest definetly could've been a future all time great with two big wins over an unbeaten,top p4p at the time Shane Mosley. After this win, it was all downhill for Forrest as he lost two in a row (1 by KO) to cigarette smoking Ricardo Mayorga, he LOST to Ike Quartey(I dont care what the record books say),and the worst one of them all he lost to SERGIO "The latin Garden Snake" Mora.

              3)Arturo Gatti- Gatti might have a chance of making it to the hall of fame. Not based on any of his wins, but based purely on his style of fighting. Gatti was not a boxer, he was a street alley brawler. His fights against Rodriguez,Ruelas,Robinson,and Ward have made him material for the hall of fame. Sadly, in the words of PBF, Gatti WAS a C+ fighter, and he never did well against any of the elite fighters, but his style of fighting, and some of his dramatic comeback wins may well make him an all time great candidate.

              4)Jose Luis Castillo- Castillo is definetly one of the most underrated fighters of this generation. Castillo did alot of good things in the ring. His jab, his body punching, his head movement lead Castillo to some great fights. I can definetly see Castillo making the HOF. He was a great fighter, and unfortunately Castillo wasn't much of a fighter outside of 135, but he was one of the greatest lightweight champions of this generation.

                  Jose Luis Castillo and Vargas where involved in some of the greatest fights and had lots of heart, so I dunno what you would want to say. Castillo beat Mayweather once.
