    What about the boxer who wnet life and death with Steve Foster jr?

    Alex Arthur is a mediocre, protected domestic leve fighter waiting to get exposed.

    Was waiting for Haye to come in here. Mate, im finished with you in previous threads, youre opinion is rendered worthless in my eyes. I will not respond to you from now on.


    Oh, and if someone thinks it was a life and death struggle against Foster you are tripping. After the first two rounds Arthur schooled Junior like a hurt Rabbit, but just so happened to get knocked down in the last few. Fair enough, but if you think that was a life and death struggle I suggest you watch it again. Alex won that convincingly with ONE scary moment.

    In fairness neither Arthur or Mitchell would make it as serious world champs. Neither has the flash of brilliance needed to become a major player.

    That's a tautology.

    I said they all had big heads, not that they were big headed wankers. All top class boxers have huge egoes, but some check in their ego at the door and some trash talk. You have to be delusional to be a world class boxer, but you don't have to be a wanker and spout out your delusions to everyone else. There's the difference between, for instance, a Muhammad Ali and a Joe Louis. Joe Louis was sure he was an unbeatable unstoppable legend who was the greatest of all time, but he didn't ever talk about it.

    nothing special about arthur, i don't see him being a champ for that long considering the lower weights are full of talent, and that title was given to him like a candy. He's lucky though and should thank God everyday as long as he has that title

    can you imagine Arthur v Khan - the battle of the overrated fighters

    though Khan is clearly better of the two and the bigger man

    Khan KO Arthur

    Over rated? :D

    Valero is another untested belt holder . . . so why not fight a unification? This would be a good one.
