    Gives ward and calzaghe their toughest fights yet his career has gone nowhere ?

    I think especially in his fight with Ward the scorecards were a disgrace one could even argue that Sakio beat ward and calzaghe

    The guy threw more than ward and matched him punch for punch I could easily argue he beat ward

    No,you cant argue that he beat Ward.

    You can argue that the scorecards were too wide, but absolutely no way did he beat Ward.

    He didn't give either Ward or Calzaghe their toughest. He was probably in each man's bottom 5 nights at the office, but not their absolute toughest.

    Correct...and they really weren't too wide to the point of griping about it...

    He is a phenomenal talent.

    He took on 3 of the best fighters the divvy has seen in the last 10 years..two of them 2 of the best fighters the division has ever seen..and gave them tougher fights then most have before or since.

    I don't really want to rewatch the Ward fight but I might have to just to be fair and not rely on my half arsed initial viewing.

    But at least Zaghe and Bute beat him clearly...Ward I thought so to..Nobody beat him impressively mind you but I think it will be a while before we see anyone do that to the Scorpion.

    But punches landed were almost identical and he was busier than ward all ward did was land the occasional counter and it was 120-108 ???

    Sakio Bika the biggest underachiever?

    Not guys like Michael Nunn, Ricardo Williams, Bernard Mays, Hector Camacho Sr, Ike Ibeabuchi, etc......but Sakio Bika?

    Compubox means **** all by the way.

    It's a shame about the Beyer fight because I think in hindsight he would have been able to put Marcus away...but a headclash was always going to happen in that fight, should have put money on it.

    Sakio has had plenty of chances since though..He has achieved about as much as could be expected given the calibre of opponent he faced for the titles he went for.

    Overachiever. He's crude, dirty and not that skilled or talented. But he's tough and can punch.
