    OK, I missed the Vargas reference there. But generally Taylor draws a lot more ire than Vargas.

    Just like Pacquiao beat Marquez, Alexander beat Kotelnik and Matthysse.

    But if you want to be Mr. Double Standard, then go for it, you have been ever since I've been on here.

    bojado was a showtime guy I disagree about Taylor. Is may not been an atg but he was a quality fighter.

    Surprised no one had mentioned camacho Jr yet. They hyped the **** out of that kid. I remember when they were taking about his power like it was something out of this world then he fought some guy whose name I can't remember and he said that he had been hit harder by featherweights. Also Joe messi.

    Vargas had potential, they just made the mistake of feeding him to the lions to soon. Trinidad ruined him.

    I wouldn't count Reid either. His career was aggressively managed because of his known degenerative eye condition.

    Was put in with Trinidad way too early, but he's one of the few fighters I never fault for trying to cash out.
