Miguel The Octopus In Quicksand Vazquez was ten years ago almost to the day, which began a run of fights that could be considered one of the toughest stretches of fights in boxing history: Witter, Cherry, Holt, Campbell, Lamont Peterson, Abregu, Alexander, Casamayor, Pac, The Provoglodyte, JMM, Pac, Chaves, Vargas, Rios, Pac.

In that run he took the 0 from Peterson, Abregu, Alexander (in a row), and Vargas. He defeated both Pac (in a close decision) and the man who Planquiaoed him. He defeated The Provoglodyte at the height of his career in an all time great fight.

Ramming Speed fought excellent, dangerous fighters at their best. While he did not fight everyone, I challenge all of you to offer up a boxer who has a superior list of fights since July 27, 2007.

Ramming Speed will enter the hall of fame.
Agreed with the hof. I'll take froch for toughest comp.i also think he'll fight again.

:clap: I knew that you would bring Froch (deservedly) to the conversation. He is the only one that has a legit argument, imo, although there are a few others that are close.
