    I liked imam I just didn't like how people said he would smoke postol. They put him in there with a type of opponent very few prospects take on the way up, really tough mexican with a ugly record.

    Imam couldn't fight inside and that's why I had to wait and see if he could truly fight.

    That's why I'm not sold on a lot of guys today. Many have become champions and are totally untested and prospects from around the world are hyped too early. You have to learn and then hone your craft and that is being forgotten. Jmo

    THere is two ways of getting tested. In the gym if your gym have some talents in there, or in the ams. Almost all the big names have had a great amateur run in which they had to face the best over and over.

    Spence fought a tough guy and got hit with a few uppercuts and never looked shook. But he got caught. I need to see him take the next step to be sold on him.

    The pro game is a totally different ball game.

    FOTY candidate.....lots of drama. Kid gets knocked down first round, comes back to beat a prospect who had a title fight lined up. A little like Morrison-Bentt
