    Douglas was 1 of the best technical hw's I've ever seen,I'm really surprised he didn't achieve a whole lot in his career.

          True, same thing happened with Reid by Trinidad. Too early for that fight and that's what killed Reid's career.

          Ike and Panchito are my two favorites along with Reid so far.

                Bojado comes to mind right off the bat, and I watched Kendal Holt's first loss last night on ESPN. I don't know if you can count him, but he could rip **** when he wanted to. And I don't even think he threw that many punches in the Bradley fight, I mean he dropped Bradley, then he just stopped fighting after that.

                    Just mentioning cuz nobody has - David Tua. Loved watching him early in his career until he got fat and lazy. Dude was a freaking bulldog.
