    I am a fan of Arty Abe, but he too is now well done..... His goose is cooked in 2011..... Abe can still obtain a little padding by fighting some rookies and a stiff or two, but his world class level is in question in '11...

    Last I saw of Eastman he was losing a pretty close fight to john duddy a few years back. Think he's now based back in Guyana where he's originally from. Still fights occasionally but at a far lower level than in his prime.

    He was a little past his prime when he thought hopkins,at 35.
    I don't think anyone was ever over hyping him, he was a good boxer just never elite or world champion level.
    It annoys me when someone saying that a boxer is good, who then loses a world title fight is overhyped.
    He went the distance with hopkins and abraham, and put joppy on the floor.
    I think he spent some time in prison but still boxes at a much lower level.

    He had his chances and he wasnt good enough, when youve had 1 or 2 pops at the big time and failed because your obviously not good enough you fall into obscurity pretty quickly.

    Got done for dealing weed in Guyana and did a few months/years. He is fighting there and recently lost a fight for a Guyanese belt.

    He was too slow....though he conned a few brits that he had imaginary "extra gears" he could move in to against better opposition.

    He should have at least beat Joppy however, but just threw it away. What an idiot.
