:bbbI challenge you on Pedraza with my Tolmajyan pick for the PPL's belt

 

I'll challenge any willing Pedraza backers, too. :bbb

 

:think Worth its own thread, you reckon?

Don't get me wrong, it was my pleasure to invest a bit of time in replying to you individually, but that seems like an interesting ongoing conversation to have (and this is such a fast-paced thread, the breakdown will get buried and forgotten in no time if not re-posted elsewhere) so with your blessing I'll present the inquiry to a broader audience.

Maybe tack on a poll to see who is generally viewed as having the stronger reign up through now? I should probably stick with Classic for that, actually - in General there would be too many disingenuous votes either way by the polarized radical Klitschko fanatics & haters. (both of which groups are probably completely ignorant of Holmes and DKSA his contenders...)

Good call, yeah - it's sort of a damned if you do either way scenario. There is definitely nostalgic bias in Classic (Jeffries KO1 Lewis! ) although for most of the old farts even Holmes might be classed along with all them newfangled "modern" prizefighters. :yep

At least in General we can hope the extreme irrational elements (pro and con K2) will cancel each other more or less out. :think

I'll give it a go in here. :good
