i'm sure there are a ton of no name middweights who wouldn't mind getting a beating for a nice pay check
Clearly it's Joan Guzman and has been for years. Joan, as well as myself, only recognize the traditional 8 weight classes. It is true that a medical condition resulted him coming in overweight for Nate Campbell at 135. He's sorry about that. Technically, he was also over for the Funeka rematch. However, it is my belief that Guzman became aware of Funeka's shenanigans late in his training camp. I don't even believe that Guzman thought the fight would come off. You cannot take issue with Guzman here, as he was facing a cheater. He wasn't over for his latest fight, no matter what you've heard. Guzman simply doesn't recognize the JW division, or any stipulations stating he has to make 142 or 143. He is his own man and makes his own decisions. He's a full fledged welterweight and should have been given the Pacquiao fight.
It's hard to say. When one has to really think about who's the most feared then there probably isn't one. When Tyson was around it wasn't a doubt who was the most feared, he had the HW division by the balls. There's no one today that I could think of that possess that same phenomenon.
Vitali & Wladimir, in that order. Haye's been avoiding them, Povetkin abandoned his mandatory shot, Adamek said "no thanks," Valuev has been hiding...............
Seriously it's gotta be Wlad even though I'm not a big fan of his current style. He's got half of the heavyweight contenders waiting for him to retire. He's beaten the **** out of the other half.
I hate Wlad and I have to admit it's him by miles. His top 10 is so afraid to face him they'd rather shack up and eat burgers, let alone fight each other
Still contenders, fans, and many people still don't shut their faces about that one punch they need to throw to shatter him... Khan has to put a Wlad like dominating performance to erase that memory. (I don't mean he has to jab jab jab, but just dominate his opponents like Wlad) It took Wlad 6 years to achieve this most feared status and to demoralize punchers they can reach his chin with a lucky punch :happy
