Hatton- Tzysu, Castillo, Collaza

No. Castillo was a sitting duck. And Collazo beat him.

Tszyu, Malignaggi, umm, then it gets tough. Maybe Magee.

(Maussa and Urango were incredibly limited)

Robbie Sims is an underrated win for Benn. Knocked him out for the first time in his career.

I'll throw out John Conteh.

Ahumada
Lopez

Maybe I'm just appreciating him. Always felt he was a bit underrated.

Fair point on Castillo, big name but well gone, not that we knew it at the time.

Naz - Johnson, Kelley, Bungu
?

He had a few. Could argue Bungu was too small.

Maybe Sanchez then.

Without the benefit of hindsight, Lewis' mullerings of Ruddock, Golota and Grant were pretty special at the time.

Plenty picked his opponents in those fights.

Lewis is way under appreciated. My fav HW of all time.
