    Which current fighters would you say are gatekeepers for opponents? Or stepping stones? Zab Judah comes to mind or a Shane Mosley...

    Manny pac is a gatekeeper.
    Now with that comprimised chin, most good fighters knock him out.

    Berto is the million dollar stepping stone, I wouldn't say Judah I really need to see the fight before I say he a gatekeeper there is a myth that scrubs whip him which the record just don't back up and no Manny isn't a gate keeper he would never fight a dangerous young fighter, Bradley is as close as you'll get and he was made for him. Paulie seems to not know the role that could make him most money.
