    Ohhh forgot Jeff Lacy. Definitely a contender. The black guy with big muscles must be good at boxing stereotype. Ala Tavoris Cloud.

    Right there with ya. Thought he'd destroy Bradley and him and Khan would be a 50/50 type fight.


    Which is strange because I look for timing, defense, and accuracy in my fighters and Devon has none of these. :-(

    Alexander.

    Doesn't help that he's been given two bull**** decisions and quit like a girl in his biggest fight.

    I was absolutely convinced he'd be the next p4p star, then he had the shaky performance v kot, his loss v brad and his shaky performance v matthyse and suddenly I'm wondering what I ever saw on him.

    plus he's one of them barkers.

    Paul Williams had wins over Margarito, Quintana, Wright, and Martinez(close fight, thought Martinez nicked it, but certainly not a robbery) and did it over 3 weight classes. The Paul Williams of the 1st Martinez fight beats Cotto, Margarito and maybe even Mosley.


    Paul Williams was a good fighter who took too much punishment.

    Im a big Martinez fan and was rooting heavily for him in that fight, but he slowed during the middle rounds and you can make a case Paul Williams won the fight.

    Noway was it easy.


    Yeah he's terrible technically, but his size, power and workrate made him a tough out in an overrated Welterweight era.

    Miguel cotto is nowhere near a first ballot hall of famer. And when he beat Yuri Foreman the worst titlest at 154lbs and maybe the 6th best fighter in the division, with a bad knee, was the first time he beat a reigning champ for a belt. Every other belt he won was vacated.
