blah blah blah. . . . I aint no big Cal fan but he beat the guy who was clearly the best LHW today. You guys can pick knits for hours if you like, seems pointless to me. Cal is the best LHW today, cause he earned it in the ring.
Sorry man, i never meant to be insultin' , just jokin', didnt mean it derogatory. But the ring magazine in most cases does recognise what is the lineal title. The 175 pound championship case mentioned here is one that is an exception. Thats why the Ring created its championships, to sort out the alpha mess. PS - Sorry about the last post, really was just kiddin with that shiit!
What happens when a linear champ just retires? How is the next linear champ decided? I suggest we just start from scratch for the LHW division if Erdi continues to duck the other champs.
Not buyin it. I haven't rated Hopkins the best LHW for a while. Calzaghe may very well be and I would love to see him prove it by unifying the division or beating the other top LHW's out there.
Get your point, i personaly scord this fight for B-Hop though, im English, aint no bias here. But i thought he won it. Still though, i respect the decision, only because the fight was close though!
Thats cool man I respect your views. The Ring is probably the best guide to follow especially for people who do not follow boxing in the same way we do. It sorts out the mess for the casual fan.
If we're gunna be puriists, we'de just have to deal with Erdi, even though he would be the champ, others would go down in history in higher esteem than him if they proved themselves great but Erdi ducked them. Kinda like Ezzard Charles at 175 pounds.
I am not hating on JC I am just pointing out he has no real title at 175 and that should affect his next choice for an opponent.
does the ring belt actually mean much, at the end of the day it is only a magazine and a good one. when you look at the history books, people are only concerned about wbc/wba/ibf/wbo.
read any record book in a point i agree with. read any record book now or in the future and ring belt will not be mentioned.
I dunno what Joe should do next, I would like him to fight Roy then Kelly then retire. what should you do? STOP HATING
Zsolt Erdei is a good man. He is solving the unemployment situation in Germany by cleaning the bums off the streets. The UN has praised his humanitarian efforts immensely. Someone should photoshop the Cartman "I jumped over the homeless" picture from Southpark, into an Erdei "I win UD's over the homeless" pic. :yep
Its mad, for years i was so happy that the Ring was strugglin' to sort out the title mess, and now i see that even that has its flaws!! Boxing always has, and allways will, have problems were fighters gettin' their deserved respect is concerned!!!!
:tired Tarver was clearly the best LHW until Hops beat him. I aint no Hops or Cal fan but damn, whats right is right. Tarver was the best, Hops beat him - making him the best - now Cal beat Hops - making him the best. Some of you so called fans need to learn to give credit when its due.
