Why the smileys? Nothing written was incorrect and you started the Erdei Tribute thread. You obviously cant counter what was written and now look a bit of a c#nt for starting the thread
I like how these fools try and mock Bailey, yet cannot dispute any of the facts he lays out. For example Erdei has a better resume at 175 then Dawson (irrefutable) and Dawson was hyped to the hills by the Yanks and considered at top 10 P4P fighter, whereas Erdei is looked upon as a joke.
Thankyou Predator. Coming from an elite poster like yourself I feel very flattered to read such praise, especially from one of ESBs finest chin analysts :happy
Bailey, while the fact you vehemently defend some of Erdei's opposition to the extent you do is admirable, I find it quite odd, considering the fact that Erdei himself openly wanted to leave Universum in order to fight better fighters.
I look at the facts of what has happend. No doubt Erdei wanted more, but this post below is just of what has happend, and what has happend isnt terrible Zsolt Erdei is another who deserves more repsct and credit, hes an undefeated former 2 weight world champ that had a better LHW resume than Dawson who was a recent P4Per. Completely off subject but read below. You may see where I am coming from Erdei beat This content is protected Ring #2 LHW who had just contraversially beaten Michalczewski Erdei beat undefeated This content is protected twice who went on to become WBA champ and has a victory over current WBO LHW champ Braehmer Erdei beat This content is protected who has only lost to undefeated fighters and was scheduled for an int WBO LHW title shot, with the winner to be full champ if Braehmer is forced to vacate. Lakatos had to withdraw Erdei beat This content is protected the world rated former WBA LHW champ who had only lost once. A very good win. Erdei beat This content is protected the European LHW champ Erdei beat This content is protected who has a victory over Ulrich When This content is protected backed out of fighting Erdei, This content is protected Erdei gave away 17 lbs at the weigh in and went up a division and fought away to win the WBC CW title off of This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected . Think Dawson hasnt beaten a fighter rated above #2 by the Ring as Hopkins hogged the #1 spot for ages, and Erdei has a win over a fighter that beat Johnson, who nearly beat Dawson and that was Dawsons big win. Santiago who Erdei beat is now having another title shot and lets remember how Erdei has just easily beaten Americas best SMW of the decade B Mitchell :good We should also note how Hopkins will avoid Erdei, as Hopkins has a style weakness to fast 2 handed fighters his own size, as results show ie Jones, Taylor twice, Calzaghe and Pascal 1. So as you can see Hopkins will want no part of Erdei. Enjoy :good
I've seen the post Bailey, that's what I was referring to when I made that post. I'm not disputing it, nor am I saying his resume is in fact horrific(as some people make out), but I sometimes feel as though you don't acknowledge the fact that he did fight some absolute clodders.
We should also note how Joe Calzaghe ducked Erdei in order to fight overrated American bums like Hopkins and Jones.
There was more money in fighting Hopkins and Jones then, and I think Calzaghe knew he was lucky to get the fights as they had ducked him for so long
