I remember watching Espana fight. He was pretty tall if I remember correctly? Long reach. Good jab. Quartey was a real monster at Jr. Welterweight, though. And Meldrick Taylor's career was like a blazing meteor! I always thought he would have beat his friend, Pernell Whitaker if they had met in their primes. At his best, his hands were so fast he could hit anyone! Of course, he was there to be hit too, and therein lay the problem.
