    Just watching Ledwaba defend his title on the Lewis-Rahman undercard. Man, this Ledwaba was a hell of a fighter. Quick, slick, classy and a great combination pincher. Was a reigning titlist and considered one of the top small guys in the game. Merchant is saying he could compete with any featherweight in the world .

    2 months later an unknown Pacquiao destroys Ledwaba . This is his first tremendous victory and this great win alone is better than anything Gayweather ever did. It just gets lost in the annals of his great career but I think this victory deserves to be ranked among his wins over Barrera, Morales and Marquez

    That fight always has and will remain his most underrated win. Ledwaba really was a fantastic fighter at that time.

    The only thing he deserves are more asterisks for his blatant roid abuse.

    Ledwaba and his KO win over the lineal flyweight champion Chatchai Sasakul in Thailand are two very underrated wins.

    Still more circumstantial evidence for Mayweather and JMM and NONE of them - Pacquiao, Mayweather or Marquez - ever tested positive.

    Mayweather's wasnt even circumstancial. He outright violated the rules, the contract and IV drips that could only be justified if he was either dehydrated because he's too damm big for the weight which we know is a lie or he was roiding.

    It's like coming home one day and seeing your wife in bed with another man but seeing as his d*ck is not inside her at the time, calling it "circumstantial evidence".

    He was caught. Short of him getting caught in the act injecting it on himself.
