The only fights I have seen of the former WBA Super-Middleweight Champion are his two losing efforts against Marvin Hagler and I was just wanting to ask if anyone here has seen more of his fights and had any opinions on him?

Also how do you think he compares aganst todays Middle & Super-Middleweights?

He was a solid, good fighter who was very popular in his native Venezuela.... a fairly well schooled boxer with a solid punch... under rated and somewhat forgotten, lost among the superstars of the age, like Hagler.

Fully was massive for a middleweight. 6'2" and could really fight. He moved up to 168 and had sucess.

He would have given guys like Kessler and Clazaghe a decent fight.

He would have beaten the likes of Jermain Taylor at 160

How do you think Obel would have done against the likes of Barkley, Tate, Nunn, Q.Taylor etc?

I think he would have beaten all except maybe Nunn!

He destroyed Wayne Barker who was a tough British middleweight who had fought a lot on the bare knuckle scene as well
