    I'd say the Clottey fight (even though I thought Clottey won) Since he had to show some heart in that fight after losing to Margarito.

      I think his best wins are:

      1. Mosley
      2. Margarito II
      3. Clottey
      4. Judah
      5a. Malignaggi
      5b. Quintana

      I could see others rating them in a different order, but I am fairly sure those are his top wins.
      The first few rounds he was competitive but then he got dominated.

          judah & mosley were probably the most important.

          margs rematch was the most impressive... beautiful stick and move boxing.

                I thought Quintana was impressive! Personally. He demolished holms and at the time they bother were promising stars.

                  His wins over malignaggi and Quintana are underrated. He fought them both in their primes, beat them down and took both their 0's. Quintana went on to beat pwill and paulie has shown recently that he can still fight. Obviously his wins over Mosley/Judah were good as well. The win that probably means the most to him is margarito 2 tho.

                    That's how I see it too. I think beating Quintana (especially) was a great testament considering he was already at a disadvantage (if you can remember) that he had to make a tremendous effort to boil down at that weight.
