    too many belts thats how
    he has 3 wins in 6 years

    he was just knocked out earlier this year and is 43 years old

    He is very popular in germany, has no power and is a very nice guy.

    The fans are crying even today about robbery.

    I have to think it's his last one, he's had 3 in the last two years I think. Boxing is hard to take serious sometimes.

    Because Hernandez is a bum who wants no part of Huck. He ducked him afaik... The fight won't ever happen.

    Huck is going up to heavy after his next fight.

    he won the first Huck fight only to get jibbed. they had to have a rematch which Huck won by stoppage.

    yeah, it was a little surprising to see him get another shot at a title so soon, but i could see why. anyway, he put up a good fight against Hernandez and lost by a couple on my card. he ended up justifying the match in the end.

    so, apart from them fights, he hasn't been getting uncalled for shots.

    - is never in a dull fight against world class opposition, literally working his ass off every time
    - has a pretty big and vocal fanbase in Germany
    - holds wins over Virgil Hill and Grigory Drozd (only guy to beat him thus far)
    - doesn't demand as much money as other boxers of his caliber
    - only one title fight away from fulfilling his dream of becoming the oldest cruiserweight champion in history

    He's a good solid fighter who once had a belt he defended.

    He arguably beat Huck in the first fight as well.

    Top guys should be written off just because they lost... that mentality is so backwards.. and its' the one thing MMA get's right.

    The entire idea that a boxer who loses a fight is horrible needs to end.
