    After the exciting war he just had it's hard not to talk about Kirkland.. If Bute ever had that kind of fight he would be the biggest boxing media attraction right now.

    But the best fighters in the sport hit and don't get hit.

    Mayweather is the biggest boxing media attraction and he lives by those words.

    Yes, but only true boxing fans recognize the talent of mayweather and the science of the sport.. which is sad.

    Wouldn't call Alvarez overrated

    I don't see anyone rating him highly except his lovestruck Mexicans.

    He's overhyped for sure

    Going on recent history it's likely to be someone in the lower half of the top ten, usually a smaller latin fighter with massive hype (mijares, juanma). I say it's segura, his best win was a guy half his size who was shot. I expect Viloria to end the hype. And just watch, they won't put him in the top ten so easily.

    Jean Pascal -- the guy manages to have an incredibly low workrate and still run out of energy. But to hear B-hop and Slappy Joe supporters, that win was epic.

    In the thread you made to accuse Bute to have loaded gloves, you also said that you were a fan of him!?
