    Ok so because ush believes Napoles is greater than Whitaker....that makes Whitaker overrated?

    Is that what is happening here? :-((

    It's bs like this that make your stock and opinion be taken with a grain of salt. No boxer in Pea prime weight was EVER EVER leagues above Pea. ****, no boxer in any weight was leagues above Pea in terms of skill. No way no how. Say what you want about his resume and all that stuff.. but as far as skill... nobody is leagues above Whitaker.

    Whitaker is one of the five or six best boxers I've seen, ever. If style preference or natural bias isn't involved, he could easily be #1.

    Ushvinder has so little of a clue he thinks Chavez would beat Arguello (who was a matador) but not Pryor (who would allow Chavez to fight his fight)

    This guy is un-****ing-bearable and one of the worst we've had in a long while.

    I appreciate him fighting his case with some knowledge though. Fair play, he's getting annihilated and hasn't had the customary nervous breakdown yet.

    It's so sad to see sweet scientist just pick Napoles apart piece-by-piece, but had to be done. Don't ever **** with this guy where resumes are concerned. I figured that out before I even registered. :scaredas:

    Yeah, he loves Napoles as well :patsch

    Mental thread, feel a bit sorry for the OP even though it's clear he came on here to stir **** up he does have a fair few ganging up on his moronic opinions, which can't be nice.

    I couldn't name one fighter leagues above Ayub Kalule in skill.

    hyperbole is a mighty tool on the internet though.

    Arguello lacked Pryor's durability and athleticism. Sit your little ass down.
