Who is the most protected, established, world title holder out there today?

Ah, Euro 2000.

That wouldn't happen to be the last major competition you actually qualified for would it?

 

Don't forget Felix Sturm.

 

No,the last one was Euro 2008,you know....the one you guys didn't?:smoke
You know....draw with France,dominated Italy in a draw.Got unlucky with Holland.:tong:good

 

:roll:

3/4 last fights Taylor 2x and B-Hop at 170. He's not ducking anyone.
And he'll fight Abraham who's certainly not as dangerous a match-up as
Taylor or Hopkins.

 

Valuev
Sturm
Eurobums always hide out

 

definitily not none of them....

but i'd say one of the east asian fighters, such as Chris John (but he's coming over he to fight Juarez so that might change), Naito, Hasegawa, Kaovihict, Valuev, and Kesslers been pretty protected since he got ate up by Calzaghe

 

Seriously, who is erdie?what weight division and what title does he have?

 

Arthur Abraham has to be near the top of the list. Sauerland has steered him clear of punchers, accomplished fights, and tall fighters. Punchers, he has only Miranda whose offense is extremly sloppy. Accomplished fighters, he has the same version of Eastman that Miranda sparked in 7 rounds, and that's it. Tall fighters, he has only Ikeke who has done **** all in boxing. Arthur has built a career around knocking out small, feather fisted, prospects. People love to criticize Arum for considering a Pavlik/Duddy fight, but John Duddy would be a top 5 name on Abraham's resume'.

 

Thai boxers

 

Mundine when he still had his WBA title. Could be the most protected fighter in the history of boxing.

But as of now it has to be Erdei. When Hugo Garay is your best win and you went back to back against Danny Santiago and George Blades your pretty sad.

 

lol true

 

Erdei

 

Have to disagree - simply because Mundine never was the WBA champ. Anyway what a waste of boxing talent though :-(

 

Nobody beats Sturm in this category!

 

he was wba super middleweight champ
