    It was odd, I must say. I will add that it is very hard to see how and where Mayorga sustained the 'injury'. But it's just too un-Mayorga like for me to fathom. Maybe it's me in denial, but I just couldn't ever imagine Mayorga quitting with so little time left in those circumstances. It makes no sense to me :conf.

    At least this pick was actually controversial :D

    The Pascal being 'green' argument makes no sense to me. In what way was he 'green'? He's not really different at all to the guy who fights now, if anything, he's worse now, based on those horrific showings against Hopkins. He looked to have regressed if anything, I mean stamina and output wise.

    Terry Norris is one of, if not the best 154lbs'ers ever.

    Omar Narvaez's defense would be extremely lauded if anyone gave a **** about him.

    Nothing controversial about that. He's definitely in the top 3. Only bettered by Hearns and McCallum.

    Vitali Klitschko would give a prime Mike Tyson all he could handle imo.

    Some would deem it controversial because of his tendency to chase smaller men. Which, granted, he is guilty of, but it doesn't eradicate the fact that what you said is most certainly the case.

    I'd put Kalule above Norris.

    If we get the fight, Pacquaio's punch output against Mayweather will grind to almost nothing.

    Amir Khan's biggest problem - regarding popularity - isn't a race issue, it's that he's devoid of personality and has none of the charisma of a Bruno, Hamed or Hatton.

    Nothing is actually "...killing boxing". It's doing pretty well and we've had a great year.

    Steve Cunningham would have clearly beaten Troy Ross had it went the distance, and the success Troy Ross was having early on is massively overrated.

    The man had 21 fights and several 12 rounders. He was NOT green. Improving fighter on the way up, yes. Green no.

    My most controversial view is probably that Pacs style is much worse for Floyd than vice versa.

    You are a complete ass. Dirrell's best win is over AA, you moron - where does that put his overrated ass?

    David Hayes CW resume whilst decent, is often overstated

    Adam Booth has only shown good tactics on 1 occasion, and as such is very overrated in my eyes

    Miguel Acosta is, and always has been, a superior fighter to Michael Katsidis.
