Decent forgotten world champs of the last 20 years

Maybe when he twice spanked Azucar in the vicinity of HIM being the recognized #1? :roll:

 

THat's a bit of a stretch. Is that your only argument?

 

Agreed.. Since when can a fighter become P4P#1 based off 1 fight?

 

I'm waiting for Butt to come back and tell us how it can be argued that
Mayorga was "PFP king" for a while.

 

Have you purposely ignored his wrestling tactics and own low blow on Johnson which initiated Johnson's responses? Cortez reffed that fight. It reminds me of the **** job Cortez did in the Calzaghe Hopkins fight when he allowed Hopkins to cheat and spoil throughout. Have you watched the Holyfield 'loss' to Ruiz? Have you watched the Thunder fight?

 

#1 WW, not #1 P4P King.

After beating Shane twice in a row he got beat twice in a row. :roll:

 

he drew with nelson in 93
beat him in 94
lost to him in 96
beat him again in 98
yes its on the far side of 20 years, but i still think hes got some great wins in that time frame.

 

Henry Maske. Not an ATG; but a decent champion.

 

Yeah fight night on itv with jim watt and reg guterige .Thursday's late if I remember correctly.

 

"Wrestles a bit," lol. You're kidding, right? However, I don't have any empirical proof, but I have my eyes and ears. Its not just the mauling, wrestling tactics. It's the faked low blows, the dubious decisions in the ring, court decisions going in his direction. Lennox Lennox gets stripped and Ruiz gets a shot. Funny part is, Ruiz blamed the ref for not letting him 'fight his fight' (mma style lol) when he lost to chinny, natural middleweight Roy Jones. Talk about hypocrisy. Btw Ricky Hatton got away with murder in Manchester when he fought Tszyu. Dave Parriss put on a clinic on how to be corrupt, biased and incompetent as he let Ricky do whatever he wanted. And it certainly wasn't pretty.

 

Would you honestly say that Popo's forgotten, though...?:think

 

He was listed in the p4p Top 10 after beating Forrest. Forrest never reached number one, but was listed in the top 5 or so after beating Mosley twice.

And in both cases, that would be reasonable. There have been a number of instances where fighters have entered the p4p rankings on the basis of one big win.
