    1 wlad
    2 Vitali
    3 Cotto
    4 Oscar de la Hoya... By the HBO commentators.

    Also, when Juan Manuel Marquez was fighting Derrick smoke gainer, Lampley kept referring to Marquez's style as though it was like de la Hoya's lol.

    Right now in the USA, PBC is serving us helpings of Joey Spencer which many of us have difficulty not retching back up.

    HBO stuck our noses in Adrien Broner an awful lot when he was on his way up.

    Wlad was the longest reigning HW champion of all time and made like 20 defenses, against most of the best his time had to offer, besides Vitali, he got basically everybody hw needed to.

    I stand corrected, what they called him in the beginning, he absolutely delivered during his career. I'm not just saying that. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Fox PBC are feeding us rations of Chris Colbert these days. Something about being the next Mayweather...

    Chris looks good...but he's not quite an obvious "can't-miss" guy.

    Interesting, I'll have to boxrec him. Out of the current crop I enjoy watching badou jack. He is a real fighter and a throwback. Worth the buck and very exciting. I'm not so familiar with these new school guys, I still watch old videos of Wu Tang clan too. All this mumble rap with clown faces (tattoos) is terrible. Just like the avoidance in the new school fighters. That 0 is not meant to go anymore.

    They were hyping him in the UK back when he was fighting the likes of Sam Sexton, Lee Swaby, and Paul Butlin?

    Not necessarily hyping him, just force feeding him to us here in the UK. Him and all the other matchroom fighters.

    Matchroom have the exclusive for sky TV over here so fighters with other promoters get very little media exposure apart from the obvious exceptions

    Clenelo. The media suck him off while pretending that his matches aren't stacked like a warehouse.
