Thanks for informing this immigrant. Im fresh off the boat and will take that life lesson to heart. atsch
Maybe so, but the Americans/American Based Fighters aren't doing so hot from Middleweight to Heavy. You'll get you're occasional one champ, but he aint worth to much. Im not even counting Light Heavyweight either, cause thats one of the poorest divisions, if not the poorest divisions, in boxing today.
An American is the Ring champ at 160. The universally regarded #1 guy at 175 is American, he's also top 3 pound for pound.
The alphabet organizations "title" belts are next to meaningless. Like I said, champions make belts - not the other way around. DM beat Hill first and with that victory established himself as The Man @ 175lbs. Roy's claim to the LHW throne was fraudulent....
<P> </P> Hello Axe and Pummler.I just don't agree.I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.I just don't see Hill being better than Hopkins.And when Jones and Bernard fought,if my faulty memory serves me correctly,they were 2 of the 3 highest rated middleweights in the world at that time.
Hopkins and Toney were great wins.They were just a bit irrelevant as to what went down at LHW since those fights took place at 160 and 168. Jones' resume is better that really isnt the discussion nor debate.
