He was an excellent Featherweight champ, but it was at Super-Featherweight that he was a true great. Beat some excellent fighters like Wilfredo Gomez, Jeff Fenech, Gabriel Ruelas & a prime Jesse James Leija.

His only losses in his prime came to ATGs Salvador Sanchez & Pernell Whitaker. He would then lose to Leija as his skills started to decline, although he beat him in a rematch, before losing to Leija again & the excellent Genaro Hernandez. He then had a bizarre rematch with Fenech last year, which I was glad not to watch, which he apparently lost in a boring close fight.

In his prime he was one of the best. I'd have him in the Top 3 SFWs of all time with Floyd Mayweather Jr & Alexis Arguello just ahead of him.
