He was never the same fighter after the 1st Vaca fight for some reason but I really believe that in 1986/87 he would'be beaten Breland and Starlon, he was a shot fighter when he fought them both.

Any thoughts?
Up until he became undisputed welterweight champion he was a very well schooled boxer. once he won the title he didnt box as well but became more of a brawler. This style led to his downfall. If he had stuck to his pre title style he could have beaten anyone including mccallum at light middle.
