    In recent years, even though these two aren't anywhere near the level of the guys I've mentioned... Taylor-Prograis.

    There's one example here I'm not sure about: DLH-Quartey.

    I think Ike was actually a bit past his prime when he fought Oscar.

    The Quartey of 94-96 was better than the 99 version Oscar fought.

    I was gonna say Leonard vs Benitez. Benitez's radar was amazing.
