    Because the guy doesn't fight. He holds. He is shot.

    Mormeck did drop Haye a few months ago, and nearly had him outta there!!

    The post previous was a very good one - in terms of the definition of a shot fighter.

    Take Castillo for example - he beats Ngoudjo on a SD when unmotivated (not seen it) and is blown away by Ricky Hatton having lost two of three rounds (one even) and losing the fourth when cut in half - now to me he didn't look that bad, more past his best rather than shot.

    He stood his ground against Miguel Cotto but it was not enough. So yes, he would beat everybody but the king of the welterweight division as of now is Miguel Cotto. We will see on the morning of July 27th if he remains so or if Margarito succeeded him on the throne.

    Acording to the names here nearly every ranked boxer and former champion is shot. Perhaps we should create a new division for "shot" boxers or just completely forget about the sport.

    Mosley, de la hoya, casamayor and hopkins are NOT shot

    why is it everytime hopkins wins he gets big time credit and when he loses he is shot?

    casamayor still has it.

    mosley can still go full 12 intense rounds

    de la hoya can stay in there with any top fighter right now.

    IMO, "Shot" should mean has absolutely no chance vs legitimate top fighters and is a shell of their former selves. That said guys like ODLH, Mosely, Hopkins, and RJJ aren't "shot". Fighters like Holyfield, Ben Tackie, and Maskaev (unless there was some excuse for his last fight) are probably 'shot.'
