    That maybe true but steve robinson who he fought at cardiff when he won his first championship had be champ for at least 6 years and nobody had stopped him. It hard to be critical of a british fighter if you are from america because you have not seen all his fights. Not having a personal dig but its the same in the UK I mean junior jones rarely saw him fight on british television. Oh his power was awesome he could knock you out with both hands.

    I would put Price top 10 All Time at Feather...Junior Jones was never big in the states..very inconsistent..In America if youre not great..you're getting left behind..no patience here. JJ and Mckinney never got love

    I think he could have been a damn fine boxer but leaving Ingle was the start of his demise. His arrogance finished him off. Over-rated *****!

    yeah, title defenses, its a sign of dominance in boxing.


    Hamed was a 122 lber too, that only fought at 126 b/c an opportunity presented itself. Bungu didnt accomplish much after b/c Hamed ruined him, just like what happend with Tom Johnson, Auggie Sanchez, and other fighters that felt his power.


    His best wins made him a 3 division world titlist, something accomplished by only a handful of fighters.

    no fighter is unbeatable. This argument iis ridiculous and can be made about ANY fighter outside of marciano and mayweather.


    actually his claim to fame was being linear champion and having a stellar record of championship defenses.

    official scorecards: 119-109/119-109/120-110...pretty close, huh?

    you repeating bull**** over and over again doesnt make it true. I listed the elite fighters he beat, long time champions, long reigning titlists, multi-division world titlists, and future titlists, and the actual scorecards with Calvo (i guess winning by 10 points is close these days, but what can I expect from someone who had margo clearly beating williams...:roll:).

    If you hate the guys personality, fine, but at least try to be objective when analyzing his record.

    Tom Johnson

    The only name is MEDINA who was respomsible for Linnear. Guess what? Linear aint worth a squirt of ****!! ALL hail Zsolt Erdei LHW linear Champ:hey Its no less accurate than any sanctioning body and in fact has more vacancies than Champions. Anyone following this system? Has to hate Boxing:-(

    Yes, a ridiculous amount of BULL****, but thats what they read. Couldnt have been some BOOS, because of it :huh

    :lol: Hamed was stir fried, fish n chips, drunk off the loss of his HYPE.
