    The LWs are arguably the deepest division in history. The top of that heap is considerably more impressive than being ranked at the top of say the SMWs or HWs in my book.

    Don't be so sure. You haven't the slightest idea why Pep couldn't beat Angott anymore than you know that Whitaker would lose to him as well for similar reasons. Pep and Whitaker had similar styles. Angott's style was a potential foil for that style.

    Come on, man. COME ON. Do your homework.

    Get Pep the hell out of the bottom spot.

    Rooster. I'm disappointed.
    Come on. Jones was the best pure ATHLETE of your lifetime.

    He faced 2 real challenges before Ruiz. TWO! He failed to challenge himself for 9 years between Toney in 1994 and 2003. NINE YEARS of wasted talent. And that is why the man is still fighting. He's trying to salvage his legacy.

    It was a flagrant foul. And Roy was acting partly out of frustration, complements of of that wrinkly brown face peering through thick glasses at ringside. Guess who!

    ....God give me strength...

    Whitaker never really lost to anyone in his prime & both he & Duran were 4 weight champions... I know from your previous posts that you think Pea would edge out Duran in a H2H 135 lb match so shouldnt you have Pea at no1 rather than Duran ?
    Is it Duran`s win over Leonard or even his career as a whole that puts him above Whitaker in your opinion ?

    Not picking holes, just curious as Pernell is your fav boxer.

    :good
