    And Matthysse got robbed against Alexander and Judah. Stop being a fanboy.

    No he didn't it was a draw at best, but I think Mauricio edged it.

    Wlad, Foreman, Duran, AND Manny ALL STILL HAD MAJOR POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT after losing. Chris doesn't and ydksab if you think otherwise. Hate to say it but all he has going for him is being a white pretty boy. His style is boring and he couldn't break glass.

    Please, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Before becoming the oldest HW champ in history, Foreman was a fat slow old man with a punch who made 2 attempts trying to win a belt, losing both by wide UD. After getting embarrassed by the white kid with a blonde mullet from Rocky 5, NOBODY thought he could win the belt again. As a matter of fact, throughout the majority of the Moore fight, the HBO crew was actually laughing at him. He dug deep like a true fighter though and defied odds. Even though ydksab, I'm pretty sure you know enough to understand the struggles and adversary the other fighters went through.

    Algieri is a one dimensional fighter with a very limited boxing trainer. Even so, he's tall and rangy, has a decent chin, incredible will and still holds a strap at JWW. If he really wants it, he can achieve success if he switches trainers and uses his height to his advantage.

    Only a weak minded clown would retire after collecting a paycheck when they spent the majority of their life training in combat sports.

    He already quit kickboxing you goof.
    His style makes for **** fights as he doesnt like to engage. His trainers can only do so much to embellish the positives (which aside from his height and reach he is lacking), and what happens if he gets in there with someone his size? He is a mediocre boxer with limited skill and shouldn't have been put in the position to fight manny in the first place.
    He cant beat the absolute best, so there is no point in collecting brain damage.

    Close fight , but majority felt Herrera lost to Ruslan .

    Same exact thing happened with Algeiri .

    Ruslan doesn't have luck with the judges when it comes to close fights .

    I personally don't feel Ruslan lost to either Herrera, Algeiri, or Bradley .

    The Bradley fight should have ended in a Draw yet the ref chose not to count that knockdown giving TB the W .

    No I don't believe Algeiri should quit .

    I can see him being a champion @ 140 .

    Hes talented and can box exceptionally well .

    I'd like to see him fight Khan or Bradley actually. He'd probably have a better shot with Bradley right now. Or I'd like to see Khan fight Bradley. Mostly, I'd like to see Khan shut up.

    No way. He's got his fanbase, make some dough there. Tho he's not a puncher, like Malignaggi, he's got heart.
