    Avenging a loss doesn't mean a thing. Kostya Tszyu didn't vs Vince Phillips. Yet Phillips lost to Mitchell who Tszyu was beating on the cards before the injury. Then after Tszyu fought Mitchell a second time just after he beat Phillips, Tszyu flogged him. Fundora would maul Mendoza. Mendoza has suffered 3 more defeats since beating Fundora. And has been battered into now just being a cheque collecting journeymen.

    Any list without Opetaia is a joke.

    Worst top 10 p4p in God knows how long. Ever in my time watching the sport. Guys are either inactive, on the way down or have lost more than what their record shows.

    There's plenty of room for it to look good in hindsight between Inoue, Shakur, Bam, and Espinoza continuing to add to their legacies.

    Why would almost killing Zayas be impressive? You say that like its an accomplishment, but Zayas himself was gifted his belt just like Jaron the email Ennis. The most noteworthy thing about Zayas is that hes untested, with almost a complete resume of bar boxing, and he has very little power. Yet the soso-called best fighter from 147-160" still did the Bambi dance.

    Nobody is more tribal than black boxing fans. Ennis remains a prospect. A weak champion just like Zayas, except Ennis is slightly less weak than Zayas.

    There's a reason why Ennis needed a soft touch, even worse than a Zayas, in first fight at 154. There's a reason why his opposition has been so bad...and its not because hes the best fighter lol.
