How could i forget the lone star cobra curry!

Even though i'm a brit, i was kinda gutted when he lost to Honeyghan. i loved watching the cobra at work. His boxing brain, and his ****in hand speed.

He was never the same after McCallum got to him.

if hopkins is going to be on there then imo james toney has to ahead of him, hopkins has perfected the style of a counterpuncher but toney was simply born with that boxing brain. also JMM, imo the guy still doesn't get enough cred.
