    Junior"Poison"Jones,Kennedy McKinney, Kevin Kelly

    Why don't they get much talk. These guys were great fighters and all put on great fights in they're time but it's like all anyone remembers is Barrera and Morales.

          I'm pretty sure a good amount of posters didn't see them fight... Full fights

          Those little guys and naz made possible for little guys today to be main events


          Can't forget vuyuni bungu, welcome ncita, Zaragoza, wilfredo Vazquez, Orlando canizales Paul banks, etc 118-126 was crazy before the late 90s and they were all retired or shot

          122 alone pre Barrera/Morales was in a golden era. Man USA, ESPN, HBO always had good lil man scraps..I was only like 8-10 watching those guys with my uncles

            They were before my time as a fan but i look at the fights on YouTube and i can't see why these guys are forgotten. You never hear any mention of these guys anywhere.

            I'll have to watch some of the guys in that third paragraph. Love watching fights from that era.

              Apples and oranges.

              You're comparing guys who held titles, had a few big wins, but whose careers (at least as contenders) were done by 2003 or so, to two legendary fighters who were fighting right up to the end of the 2000s.
