Daniel Zaragoza - Jan 2017
BEST JAB
Carlos Zarate: Loyal to his school style, he had a wonderful left hand.
BEST DEFENSE
Hector Acero-Sanchez: He had wonderful waist movement and he used also some clever side steps. He didn’t care about offering a show or about the fans; he only cared about his physical integrity.
BEST CHIN
Wayne McCullough: He was an offensive fighter, he wasn’t stopped by anything, he was always going forward looking for the victory due to his resistance.
FASTEST HANDS
Tracy Patterson: His right hand was explosive; you were not able to see it. Once you felt the first punch you would instantly feel the next ones.
FASTEST FEET
Seung-Hoon Lee: I allowed him to use all the ring; he had space to move away from me. His attack did not have a specific strategy.
SMARTEST
Erik Morales: He knew to wait for the perfect moment to conquer his first championship despite being that young.
STRONGEST
Jeff Fenech: He had great strength, despite weighing only 122-pounds.
BEST PUNCHER
Paul Banke: He never stopped throwing punches from all angles. He didn’t care if he received some (in return as long as he got his shots off).
BEST SKILLS
Morales: He was undefeated when I faced him; he was really strong and tall for the division.
BEST OVERALL
Morales: Because of his great (career) trajectory and for having conquered titles in four weight classes.

Lucian Bute - Feb 2107
BEST JAB
Badou Jack: It’s a good question. I fought many, many good fighters, many good boxers. I think, in my opinion, Badou Jack. He has a very good jab (and) good distance.
BEST DEFENSE
James DeGale: He has good skill. A southpaw who changes from orthodox to southpaw many times. (He has) good ability, good speed.
BEST CHIN
Librado Andrade: Andrade was the tough guy. I fought (him twice) and gave him good, good shots in the first fight and he never (went) down. He always came forward and is a very durable fighter.
FASTEST HANDS
DeGale: James DeGale had the fastest hands of anybody I fought. Good combinations, speed ?very good speed.
FASTEST FEET
DeGale: DeGale was very difficult to catch. He is slick but as the rounds go by, I can feel he is not so mobile and takes many shots. He hates to get hit.
SMARTEST
DeGale: DeGale has the rings smarts and an ability to survive. (He’s) very clever for a fighter. I gave him too much respect early and I guess that is what cost me the fight. Plus, his tactics to delay the combat by spitting his mouthpiece out and holding inside.
STRONGEST
Carl Froch: Very physical. Not good skill, not good ability, but very strong. Froch was very determined and physically strong. He took some early shots from me but he was not affected. He had a great night and I did not. I wish we would have a rematch.
BEST PUNCHER
Alejandro Berrio: Very good puncher. With Andrade, he had a good chin, (he) was tough, but (he) was not a big puncher. I think the accumulation of the punches made you tired. Froch has a good punch, good power, but I think it was Berrio.
BEST SKILLS
DeGale: He’s complete. He has everything. Like I said; skill, speed, movement, distance.
BEST OVERALL
DeGale: I think James DeGale was the best guy I fought (in the professional ranks). Speed, skill, power too. He was the best. If we include people I fought in the amateurs, I would say Golovkin. (Golovkin) is the best ?good background, good distance, movement, power, he’s the best overall.

Cory Spinks - Feb 2017
BEST JAB
Jermain Taylor: I would say the person that had the best jab was Michele Piccirillo…no, let me take that back: Jermain Taylor. Jermain Taylor had the best jab. You could tell he worked on it a lot and he used it to set up everything, so I had to basically try to take his jab from him. Piccirillo, he had a nice snapping jab. It was like a herky-jerky jab but it was a good jab.
BEST DEFENSE
Zab Judah: I would say Zab because we were both skillful southpaws and I had to adjust and deal with his defense. He had a pretty cool defense. It wasn’t that easy to hit him.
FASTEST HANDS
Judah: It goes again to Zab. Zab had the fastest hands; I would give that to him. That was one of his attributes; he had fast hands and a little pop.
FASTEST FEET
Judah: I didn’t fight too many people that had just as fast a hand and foot speed as me, so it has to go to Zab.
BEST CHIN
Miguel Angel Gonzalez: Rafael Pineda, I hit him and nothing (laughs). I was heavy and I kind of underestimated him and didn’t train as hard as I possibly could. When I got in there, I wished I did (Laughs), very good chin, strong body. I made it through that one but it was tough. I hit him with everything and he wouldn’t stop coming. He fought one of my idols, Pernell (Whitaker) and that got me a little pumped but he wouldn’t budge.
I hit Miguel Angel Gonzalez with everything but he wouldn’t go nowhere. I would say he had the best chin because I sat down on a lot of shots and he did not go anywhere. He didn’t take a foot back or anything; I give that to him. Mayorga had a decent chin when he wanted and wasn’t acting silly but I would say Miguel Angel Gonzalez got him though.
SMARTEST
Judah: I really didn’t fight a person who made me do things they wanted me to do because I was a smart boxer. At first I thought Zab was. He was a smart fighter at that time, at the top of his game and we had two wars.
STRONGEST
Ricardo Mayorga: He was very strong,. A lot of his punches weren’t straight. He packed a mean punch. I was in tremendous shape but I could tell when I clinched with him, I could tell he was probably the strongest person I fought.
BEST PUNCHER
Mayorga: I weaved some of them punches and I swear I heard a whistle. He can punch.
BOXING SKILLS
Miguel Angel Gonzalez: He had smart tactics to fight a southpaw but he was an older fighter but I could tell he did his homework and he came with a gameplan and he tried to execute it but I was being a little hard-headed, at the time.
BEST OVERALL
Taylor: That’s a toughie. I would have to say the ones that accomplished the most, Mayorga, Jermain Taylor, Zab and Miguel Angel Gonzalez. I would say Jermain Taylor. He knew what was his best and he used it to win the fights and that’s his jab. He had a terrific trainer; Emanuel Steward taught him how to use it even better and he perfected it and it made it real tough to get past his jab.
