    Wilde was wee.
    I don't think that you can be bigger than a welterweight and still be wee.

    You say his skill set would be among the best due to evolution.
    Can you describe to me the elevated skills that I should be noticing in the video you provided?

    That mustache alone is enough to pick against Torrez.

    We have different standards on this side of the pond. Anyone at 6-2/220 is suspect at best. Anyone under is a manlet.

    Rocky hasn't done anything in the past few months to convince me he would do any better.

    I remember a big news announcement seven or eight months ago revealing that he was still dead, but I haven't kept up with the story and haven't heard any updates.

    Um...what? How can it have evolved downward if the best p4p guy when Armstrong fought had an unprecedented three weight class titles but even not that recently somebody like Broner was only like p4p number three and had done that, I think?

    He doesn't appear to be in proper condition to actually fight fight for 15 rounds

    Some of these guys fail the eye test without even needing to see them throw a punch
