I think it's really quite refutable. I'd personally put him on par with someone like Rubio. Interested to see what other people in the thread think.
It's not even close, and then there's a difference between the best opponents running away from you as you running away from the best opponents.
Bummyluvkin was getting hit at will and got a black eye from D- level prospect Monroe Jr. Not sure what your point is.. Lemmy got knocked out by ultimate journeyman patches Rubio, Geale got knocked out by a shopworn, shot midget WW and outboxed by former rugby player Anthony Mundine, and that other guy lost to an aging cripple and a shot, blown up Arthur Abraham.. :rofl
Lemieux was 21 years old. Rubio isn't a journeyman; journeymen don't get various world title shots. In fact some people on this board even thought he would win... Geale was drained by Cotto...who is a whole 3 inches shorter. Some midget. Shot and blown up hahaha! He'd been at that weight comfortably for years. Been at the top of that division for years. Your boy Stiverne was knocked out by Demetrice King and has Arreola as his crowning achievement. Turn it in
silly threader willders best win is against a **** stiverne who already lost and nearly lost to a 40 shot fighter out of 35 fights willder has fought only one top 10 fighter FACT! ggg has fought many top 5 to 10 fighters in his div and champ we not even including his ams record
I'm not sure what being 21 has to do with anything. After that fight he lost a close decision to a shot, fading Alcine(who got ko'd by Brain Rose and Macklin in his next two fights..atsch:rofl) knocked out a multitude of bums, then beat the glorified punching bag and ex BKB champ Rosado, then got a vacant title after the last champ Jermain Taylor got admitted to a mental hospital for shooting his cousin.. You really can't make this **** up, :rofl Rubio is a journeyman, a shot journeyman at that after a drunk, alcoholic Pavlik fresh off of rehab made him his *****. All of his title shots have been different forms of the WBC title. What does Mexico and the WBC have in common? You're not that stupid, it's not hard to figure out. Geale drained by the shot, damaged goods midget is an excuse almost as bad as Pac's shoulder injury.. rugby player Mundine already showed how to beat Geale, the shot Cotton just finished the job. So are you claiming Abraham isn't shot and blown up? Where has his power gone since moving up to SMW? What has he done since losing to Ward? His claim to fame at SMW is losing to the best SMW's in the planet, then having 4 fights with Stieglitz and a rematch with Paul Smith, who a rusty Ward took out in his first fight back in 20 years.. atsch
The fact he was still young in his career and made mistakes he wouldn't make now. So it's just because he is Mexican? Ok... Injury or being drained are valid excuses. So long as there is actually an injury, of course. He isn't at his prime, that doesn't directly translate to shot. He's obviously more comfortable at that weight or he wouldn't be fighting there, ergo not blown up. So tell me some more about Demetrice King?
I don't consider Stiverne a bum either by the way. Just don't think he's as good as Geale, Murray, Lemieux or possibly Monroe Jr (I think he will go on to have a good career)
Weird how Lil G fangirls have double standards. Lemmy was already 4 years as a pro when he got knocked out by patches Rubio.. Yet Stiverne, who only had 2 years as a pro had a disputed stoppage loss to Demtrius King, when the ref waved it off prematurely. If you saw that fight, you can see a green Stiverne throwing back when the ref waved it off. Yes, it's just because he's Mexican. The WBC, the same organization who stripped Martinez of his belt just to have a Mexican champ, then gift wrapped it for Chavez Jr. Let's not forget Robert Guerrero fighting for the WBC strap next month, despite getting the beating of his lifetime by Thurman, then a gift decision against an unknown prospect. They want a Mexican champ so bad that they stripped Cotton of the title before he even got to defend it against Alvarez.. :rofl Suliman personally gave Alvarez the diamond belt and went back on his word involving the GGG match. But hey, it's not cause he's Mexican.. it's cause of Alvarez's hard body of work at MW. Abraham is shot, he's not half the fighter he was at MW. He's slow, his power isn't there anymore, and his reflexes have diminished greatly.
Nobody other than Arreola twice and Ray Austin. Arreola himself is a better fighter than anyone on Bummy's resume.. :rofl
