    I think guys like Sturm, Urango, Bradley, Guzman, Soto, Luevano, Yonnhy Perez and even Donaire to some extent are much better than people give them credit for...

    I can see that...I think he will eventually settle in at 147lbs.

    I think no one denys this ( i don't know bout BEST but certainly elite)

    His critics say hes boring, and thats legitimate and is not a put-down. Its a fact

    Persoanlly, i don't think Maidana is all that "Talented".

    He's Strong, Aggressive & Tough...But He was the Tough EXPERIENCED fighter against Ortiz...And Ortiz was a Raw Untested Kid...Ortiz just simply didn't know how to finish...BECAUSE HE WAS BOMBING THE HELL OUT OF MAIDANA.

    Ortiz is a very limited fighter, just like a Angulo or Valero. Guys who will look good against limited opposition but get taken to school by the "elite".

    I agree 100%




    Somehow "Cotto the Warrior" deserved a shot at Pac and his million$, yet Clottey shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as pac...:huh



    People forget how close these two guys were when they fought. and that Clottey actually beat Cotto the **** up and had him happy to get out of MSG with a judge-given victory....

    Irtony and sarcasm when you put them together is a thing of beauty because even if it is so obvious, no one notices it.

    Miguel Cotto. He went from elite WW to shot bum overnight. He's still elite. Not sure why people here think he is and was overrated. And he didn't lose to Clottey. He knocked him down, dominated him, and then had to switch up styles and stop engaging because he was concerned the cut might end the fight prematurely. Please stop saying he lost to Clottey. Clottey could've, maybe should've won. But he didn't.

    Dawson

    Abraham

    Valero (trust me, he's not hype!)

    Clottey

    Ortiz is a good pick too. He needs a good trainer. Maybe the Roach.

    Calzaghe was the TRUTH. No denying it.

    Donaire to an extent. I see some great stuff in him.

    J.M. Lopez because of his last fight.

    Tim Bradley maybe still not recognized yet by many for how good he really is. That will change though.
