In 2004 Zab Judah captured the Undisputed Welterweight title when he knocked out Cory Spinks in dramatic fashion in their rematch. At this time he sported a reccord of 32-2 (24KOs). Most of his victories were at 140 but none can deny that he made his mart at 147 this day.

In 1999 Quartey faced De la Hoya for the unified WBC WBA Welterweight title. At this time he had a reccord of 34-0-1 (29KOs) and had defended his title successfully 7 times. His power left jab is still the subject of envy among other boxers.
