It's probably because of his short reign that people aren't too familiar with him...

For me he just caught Napoles at just the right time. I think a prime Napoles takes him out inside of 5 rounds. If memory serves me right Napoles dropped him in one of the early rounds. Can't remember which one right now.
Napoles was there for the taking, all the signs of wear and tare had began to show as he almost always had bad cuts over his eyes.

Stracey went on to beat Hedgemon Lewis in his only defense I remember that and he was beating Carlos Palomino until Stracey started to gas out. Palomino rallied back to get the TKO win. Stracey also has a solid win over top contender Ernie "Indian Red" Lopez.
