    In terms of inactivity, lack of commitment to training, injuries, drama, etc.

    Two HWs from the same country with the same number of wins and a similar pattern of behaviour.

    Solis

    a guy with so much ams success and experience who puts McD's and KFC in front of boxing is much more dissapointing

    Solis and i dont think its actually that close. The guy has the credentials to give Vitali and Wlad absolute fits... yet he just doesnt give a ****. That for me makes him infuriating, give me his talent and i would at least go out there and give it a go.

    Both disappointments, but Solis more so: every fight of his with any meaning falls through these days, it seems; and Perez is at least fighting a top 15 HW in a week. Also Solis is a gluttonous pig.

    Well Perez has a fight against a decent HW in a weeks time.

    Solis(who i beleive to be signifigantly more skilled) is doing God knows what

    :-(

    Well for me it's still Solis as I rate him much more highly than I did Perez

    Bigger waste of talent

    If Perez hadn't pulled out of the Chag fight, there would have been no reason for the thread.

    Your point on Solis is so true. Maybe the most dreadful pissing away of talent in HW history.

    I made that post prior to hearing of the injury. Disappointed but not surprised. :-(

    Solis
    People were more expectant of him.

    I don't think Perez is lazy just unlucky maybe there was a case for saying that at the start of his career but not now.
    I have never seen him out of shape.
    Certainly nothing like Solis who is in terrible shape.
    Perez is still only 27 so plenty of time to make some noise.
