Bruseless: For the WBC #1 spot Corley: The same guy who nearly had Cotto out after a single punch to the temple, yes Cotto, the only major name in Margarito's resume Baldomir: Undisputed Welterweight champion Mitchell: Tune-up material in a new weight division, same guy who Williams had to beat to become Margarito's mandatory Hatton: P4P#10 at the time, #1 140lbs fighter and undefeated, beat Collazo in only his first fight at Welterweight, the same Collazo who is Mosley's only recent biggest win at Welterweight. You know who Mosley is fighting next based on that, right? Gatti: Think we both know where your username comes from Sosa: #1 contender for the WBC title and was also a tough close fight, have you even seen it?
Let me do it your style: Bruseles-and I'm actually not laughing but just put the emoticon there. Corley-journeyman.Merchant actually called him a ''tough journeyman'' during the fight,remember? Baldomir-one hit wonder. Mitchell-shot Hatton-no place at WW,LOST his only other fight at WW to Collazo. Gatti-shot Sosa-lost to Spadafora previously so he had to be easy pickings.
He has a trmendous chin and heart, and awesome OFFENSIVE skilz. But he is lacking in defense. He needs to come into the DLH fight in trmendous cardiovascular shape, and able to block, dodge and evade punches, as well as box circles around the aging DLH.
I never said that Corley is A class either, he is a journeyman and a tough one at that, Merchant's comment was hardly insulting to Corley as he proved the point against Cotto. Baldomir might be a one hit wonder but still he made it there and beat the undisputed welterweight champion, correct? Mitchell is definitely shot, I never denied it there, that's why he was tune-up material at that point. Gatti being shot or not had absolutely no chance in hell against someone in Mayweather's class. This is a guy who went life and death with journeyman Micky Ward for God's sake. Mayweather fighting him for the WBC title was only just for that, you know very well about his attempts to get Hatton in the ring so I'll leave it there regarding this division. Hatton still holds a win over Collazo, whether you scored it for whoever it was still a close enough fight that many could argue Hatton won it. His performance against Mayweather proved that he DID belong in that fight. Sossa is journeyman level too, never said he's A class either but a tough one as well. Even though you mentioned the list of fighters there, surely you do agree that his resume and accomplishments wipes the floor with everyone you will mention as "better" than Mayweather or guys worth fighting. You know who I'm referring to, guys like Margarito and Cotto.
Corley wasn't suppose to be journeyman level then,he had like 2 losses I think.Nowadays he is a no hoper altough he won his last one. Anyway I see you don't even see the point,the guy said there are 10 people on Mayweather's resume that can beat Chavez which is a attrocity.
I've seen him fight and so far he's been ok. Dude is only 22yrs old, so he's still young, but he does have alot of fights under his name, like 39 or so. He's been somewhat impressive so far, but he doesn't look like something special. The thing that kills his rep is that his father is a legend and he's not looking as good as his father. But he can be someone making noise in the future. He could be a champ some years from now, its way too early to tell.
