    Title says it all.
    Really he has the skills I don't think he is on the same level as cunningham but I definatly think he could take out Marco Huck or anyone else in the cruiserweight top 10. :bbb

    He has to show it first.
    Beating a blown up Epriano Mendoza doesn't really show too much.

    thats my point he has the skills why the hell hasn't he steped up his competion. I mean darnell wilson is the best fighter he's fought and that was in what summer 08'?

    If I were BJ Flores I'd be gunning for a fight with Matt Godfrey.

    I was one of the folks thinking that Godfrey was something really special (who knows, maybe he can still show that side). But I couldn't believe what I was seeing when Godfrey fought Shawn Hawk.

    I think Godfrey would be an easy opponent for BJ Flores. And it's a fight that would established Flores a bit more at cruiser. Because I think there still are alot of people that are impressed with Godfrey's boxing prowess.

    They both fought around the same time for their lastfight.

    Maybe he realizes that being a studio announcer is a LOT less painful than being a boxer. And that isn't bad, just a personal decision. He can do TV work forever, his boxing career is temporary.

    I don't to take too much away from his fight with Mendoza.
    That was Mendoza's first fight at cruiser.... but the guy is no slouch.
    If you didn't have him beating Lacy, then you should probably rewatch that fight.

    Mendoza filled out well at cruiser and Flores had a very easy time with him.
