    that logic makes no sense what so ever, this is the worst title holders not the most undeserving.

    Dunne is a very vulnerable title holder at 122, he wouldnt be able to retain his title if he were to match-up with any of the top 10 fighters in his weight class. There are even a handful of fighters at bantamweight I would favor over Dunne.

    He might struggle with Cabellero's height and JML's power but otherwise SBW is wide open.

    Dunne's an easy target because of the Martinez loss, but you're ignoring the manner with which he won the belt. Coming off the deck twice to KO a legitimate title holder whilst behind on the score cards.
    Saying that he is over-reliant on heart sums up your ignorance, his natural boxing ability has always been his bread and butter and his heart never even came into it until the Cordoba fight. Admit it, how many of his fights have you seen? 2?

    Thanks for proving my point and contradicting yourself :good

    Cordoba was outboxing him nicely and Dunne could only score if he were to drop him or hurt him.

    Either way dont try to spin this as though Im a Dunne hater, Im hoping hes the lucky one that gets to have the Caballero fight because stylistically that is the most winnable fight for him with the highest reward. 50/50 fight imo.

    :patsch God almighty, there is a difference between having heart and being over reliant on it. Your original post said that it was his heart and not boxing ability that was his main quality and as I mentioned earlier the Cordoba fight was the first instance of him having to demonstrate it.

    And as far as Cordoba outboxing him nicely he was maybe one round up on most peoples cards and not by the wide margins that the judges had.

    must be kotelnik as frank warren doesn't put any of his cash cows in with the best champions so he's been strategically picked as the weakest by warren. whether that turns out to be correct only time will tell.

    Klassen is pretty decent. He's certainly not the worst title holder in his own weight class.

    Your comment on Cristobal Cruz is all wrong. He was never a decent fighter before. He was a low-level gatekeeper who suddenly started throwing 120 punches a round, and when he started that, he started winning. He's better now than he's been the rest of his career.

    Off the top of my head, some bad current titlists:

    Carita Lopez
    Victor Emilio Ramirez
    Nicolai Valuev
    Paulus Moses
    Vyechislav Senchenko

    I agree about Dunne also. He'd be very prone if he fought any of the top guys at 122 right now.

    So having one flaw puts him in the "worst" category?!
    He proved he can pull out an impressive win despite this flaw. He definately does not deserve to be on this list.

    and yet, no one argues about Valuev.

    Sure, he can win, but he's barely top 10 in the weight class. He has a lot more than just one flaw. I like him, but he's not that good relative to the pantheon of beltholders.
     

  13. Yea almost a year ago...

    Least Arslan fought 2 / 3 times a year. Jones isnt even calling names out at all. Jones is becoming a waste of a belt.

    Even in retirement, Slappy Joe Calzaghe tops the list.
