    no ****ing way

    got a lucky decision vs clottey. the only top ww he has beaten is mosley who was past it at his old age. he has fought 80 percent b level fighters in his career. almost got k0d twice by 2 b level guys and was outclassed in his losses in so many ways

    so overhyped and overrated

    If by "elite" you mean an ATG, then clearly not. However, if the term is taken to indicate a current A-level fighter, then I would say he definitely was over the past few years. We'll see how he looks against Foreman.

    it should say "you're"

    and if you wanna talk about another boxer, do it in your own thread
