    What's a villain roll, is it a new move that one of Bruce Lee's enemies has perfected? Or is it a new sandwich from Subway?

    Sam Peter and Eddi Chambers were both beating him on my scorecard before he stopped them.

    Why should he thank his lucky stars that they didn't add an extra round that hasn't been fought since the 80's??

    Margarito vs Six Heads Lewis.

    That was when I was like "Man, if you put bricks in his gloves, he could be a real force in the division"

    Calzaghe v Lacy.

    I think people had there doubts over whether he was elite before that, hence a lot predicted he would have got destroyed.

    That fight put him right near the top of the tree.

    This is a fantastic idea for a thread. I can't imagine why it is not getting a lot more attention.

    Good man :thumbsup

    Ima pick a few more.....


    What about, Paulie Malignaggi vs Miguel Cotto? even though he didn't win, he showed substance, that down the road if he got another shot, that he would learn a lot from that experience and be able to call on that toughness in the future.

    I dont know, could we use Mayweather's fight Burton? I mean Mayweather had already won a title, but it might of been the first time he had, as a pro, had to dig down deep and call on any potential substance he had beyond his Boxing skills.
