    It's the same reason why I've become a fan on Chavez Jr, he can't help the ****ing way he gets promoted as the son of a legend. If anything he's shown he wants to create his own legacy by putting work in the gym and visibly improving with each fight.

    I sad all along that he is overrated here on ESB, there is plenty of guys that can and will beat him, thats why he tries to stay at 135!!!

    This is true, I would admire a guy who steps up and says I feel I lost the fight and he earned the win, judges are corrupt, I would like a rematch to prove I deserve a real victory.

    I felt the same about him until he started taking advantage of his position and being proud of it as well, mocking sergio and acting like he isnt ducking and a true champ.
    If he had said this isnt how I want to be king, give me the best, then it would be true respect from my part.
    People are often harsh on a guy who benefits from others' acts but if the fighter acts like he deserves **** based on those lies I lose sympathy for the guy.

    exactly I could see someone playing it up like they won if they had a highly competitive and close type of 7-5 or even 8-4 scoring open to interpretation fight that might not go their way

    but I don't like all these emmy award winning act jobs from guys like emmanuel or Rioz. They were just thoroughly schooled losing a 9-3 type of decision

    Same, Ann Wolfe as well. That sparring video of Kirkland had them on my **** list but their graciousness and humility after that fight crossed them right off.
