    Wimp? Yeah, so says another keyboard tough guy. Go **** yourself.

    Williams, as I said, hardly got blown away. He got hit with a Suzie Q sweet shot. It happens. Williams also laid a hell of a lot more leather on Martinez than Barker did.

    Let's review: Barker, for the most part, came to survive. Williams came to win.

    Getting hit with a one-time home run shot is hardly getting "blown away."

    Williams is not a true middleweight, now is he? When he fought at his ideal weight, what happened? Oh, yeah.... he beat Sergio.

    Barker's ideal weight is 160lbs. And remind me what happened?

    You are right that Barker is scarcely the best in Europe.
    It wasn't that close, however. I had Martinez up 6-3-1 or perhaps even 7-3.

    Barker is a legit middleweight; Williams is not. What happened when Williams fought Sergio at his ideal fighting weight? Right-- he beat him. And what happened when Barker fought Sergio at his ideal weight?

    That is a steaming pile of bull****, and you know it. Most American fans gladly recognize the talent of, say, Pac and Marquez, to name a few. Why? Because Americans appreciate talent and courage, irrespective of where the fighter hails from. Do American fight fans discredit Roberto Duran? Ummmm... no. Sal Sanchez? Ummm....no. Julio C. Chavez? Ummm....no. Are you noticing a pattern?

    And none of the aforementioned are Americans.

    Many Euros, on the other hand (and particularly those from the UK), have been over-hyped, middle-of-the road type talents and have been called such by my American compatriots.

    Trust me-- many Americans will love Proksa and Vasyl Lomachenko (my current favorite fighter on the planet, incidentally).

    Read what I wrote, and the part I highlighted. All the fighters you note are foreign fighters that have fought alot in America.
    Now tell me about the foreign fighters that Americans rate that dont fight in America?
    There have been some great fighters like Maske, Michalczewski, Ottke, Calzaghe, Erdei etc who have all been underated and underappreciated by America because they didnt have to build their careers over there, yet all of these fighters have stunning records, fought top comp and bar Erdei due to The Ring bending the rules have been the man of their respective divisions at some point

    Well Alien, Im not qualified to make any Chinchecking assessments. As an original Team Elite member, my speciality is discovering hype jobs before they have been revealed to the world.
    I was hoping to let you guys (The Chincheckers) apply your science and give me an idea of how good his chin is.
