Answer 3

I was really shocked that Verno Phillips was able to pull the upset over Cory Spinks, especially at this stage of his career.  I thought it was a fair decision, and I didn't see the fight the way that Colonel Bob Sheridan called it- he only gave Phillips one round!  Phillips won because he put constant pressure on Spinks and he made it a fight, and he even rocked Spinks on more than a few occasions.  It was nice to see Phillips finally get a close one as well as a third world title.  My top 10 is like this:

1. Vernon Forrest

2. Oscar De La Hoya

3. Verno Phillips

4. Joachim Alcine

5. Cory Spinks

6. Sergei Dzindziruk

7. Alex Bunema

8. Travis Simms

9. Sergio Martinez

10. Roman Karmazin
