    Worst Trainer = Buddy McGirt. The only thing his fighters are good at are getting KOed.

    Pavlik loses one fight (in which he was on antibiotics for an illness) and he becomes the biggest bum in the world?!? He beat the crap out of Taylor twice and has taken out the top fighters at 160.

    Worst Mayweather impersonator = the dump I just left in the toilet. At least that sinks a bit less than Mayweather.

    Worst trainer- Buddy McGirt

    Most annoying Commentator OF ALL TIME - Harold Lederman "OK JIM!" is enough to make any man's balls explode. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SmM1pRVeFP0 this just makes it worse, it sounds like he's taking a crap.

    Point I want to make out regarding:

    Worst referee-Cortez for letting Hopkins hug Calzaghe all-night

    Why did he let Hopkins get away with it all night but not Hatton (v Mayweather, yes i know it goes without saying)

    Hell this turned out to be funny! When I say most over-hyped regarding Pavlik I am not saying he is a bad fighter, just the hype was way bigger than he was. I hope he fires that bum trainer!
