    It's a blustery and damn right miserable afternoon here in London and as I scoff down my pear and blackberry yogurt, I decided I wanted to invoke a stir.

    So out of all the current fighters, which 3 - in your putrid eyes - boast the best resumes?

    Jones just retired last week though. Bradley retired thankfully. He was in Australia for the Pac-Horn fight and he thought he was in Argentina!! MOMMA MIA

    I was tempted to list Jones - but he's tentatively and finally hung the gloves up and says he's done barring a superfight with Anderson Silva.

    Yes, he very well accomplished that he lost to Mauricio Herrera.

    Well you didn't say that you were talking about Mikey. I thought you were talking about Danny Garcia who is also supposed to be have a "good resume" on paper.

    1. Pacquiao
    2. Canelo
    3. Danny Garcia

    Looking at the list, I'm not impressed by 2 and 3 at all. I can give Canelo some credit for fighting Floyd, Lara, Cotto, and GGG, which makes 2-1-1, where both a win against Lara and draw against GGG were arguable.

    So, in my opinion, the whole "resume" discussion is a bit overrated.

    He's overachieved considering he's a small MW who boiled off 30+lbs to complete and actually excel at LWW and WW.
    A 170lb ball of muscle that could not bust a paper bag but won giant fights and fought the best at 140/147.

    If he had power, his brain would be a lot better off.

    Small middleweight? He's 5'6". How many 5'6" middleweights do you know (barring Khurtsidze)? He could have been a lightweight if he'd just put the weights down and jogged a little more. That thirty pounds of muscle did nothing for him, since he still didn't have any power.
