    Actually Ryder is the far more skilled guy. Which is precisely why I picked him to beat Smith. He beat Fielding and Arnfield easily and could have drawn with or arguably beat Saunders by a point. That being said, Smith is overrated and always has been.

    Your point is correct but Ruiz Jr was never really a top guy. He'd been 'exposed' (for want of a much better word than that) previously

    The only thing Spence showed is that he couldn't hurt a lightweight coming up to see him and he couldn't do it in 1,100+ punches. Broner hurt Mikey in the last round.

    I'll bet you $250 that if Pac fights Mikey, he'll hurt him badly with and without VADA. Pac's hurt or dropped every opponent under VADA testing.

    Callum Mundane Smith was exposed against John Gorilla Ryder . Exposed as in showing an inability to use his height and reach advantages against a much smaller opponent resulting in a loss or a draw at best if the cards were not written by Sky. Smith would be taken apart by Canrlo and I'd also fancy a fit BJS to school him.

    Pac might hurt mikey early with his speed and catch him with a shot he doesn't see. I won't take that away from him pac is still very dangerous early. Btw spence did hurt mikey in that fight.

    What is so exposing to go in a close fight with Porter, I just don't get it?

    Come on mate that wasn't a robbery. Close yes, robbery no. Parker won the fight once he decided not to stand and trade in the pocket with Ruiz, similar to AJ's change of tactics in the rematch. Ruiz is fairly clueless once fighters fight off the backfoot against him.

    Ruiz is about a lower end top 10 contender, no more.

    Guys can't wait to come on here and be the first to declare that a fighter was "exposed" News flash....Sometimes even top fighters get hit and hurt. If they have been so "exposed" then don't watch them

    Callum Smith definitely got exposed.

    Thurman was just nowhere near his best in 2019, not exposed.

    Joshua was exposed but those flaws were known already.

    Mikey Garcia was exposed by Spence.

    Gvozdyk was somewhat exposed by Beterbiev....He just isn’t very durable.

    Marcus Browne was exposed.

    BJ Sinus was exposed.

    None of these men were "exposed".

    Crawford had some early trouble and proceeded to walk down and impose his will and ultimately stopped a sturdy undefeated fighter.

    Spence went to war in a fight of the year candidate with one of the top 5 in the division, dropped and decisioned him.

    Joshua (who there were already questions re: chin/stamina) was stopped and avenged his loss in a performance so lopsided no one wants to see a third fight.

    Tete was coming off of a severe injury and hadn't fought in a year. And it's not like he was some undefeated phenom, he was just on a good run.

    You guys have to quit using the word exposed.........
