    Agreed. Saying Bika is an underachiever is like saying Buster Drayton or Iran Barkley were underachievers.

    Stevenson vs Bika would be funny ( too bad that it won't happen :-( ) then Bika vs Abraham and Bika vs Froch as well. :yep:deal

    Watching both fights i cant see this clear wide margin and clear cut calzaghe and ward rounds at all at best they sneaked wins against Bika.

    What I mean more by underachieving is he gives the best two super middles of this and the last era very very close fights but outside of that hasn't really done too much ? you'd think bika was capable of at least winning a belt and beating the abrahams of this world.

    Unless you're counting Darnell Boone, back when Ward was still a prospect, he absolutely gave Ward his toughest fight. Much closer than Froch or Dawson, IMO, and there's a legitimate gripe about the scorecards being bad. That was a 116-112 fight. Maybe a round different in either direction, but even the 118-110 scores were out of whack.

    Bika's made some really odd career decisions, and it's not like anyone's in a rush to fight him anyway. I'd still put him ahead of Tua as the best (non-career shortened) fighter of this era to never win a title. He probably would beat half the titlists at 168 during the last 10 years, but had the great luck of facing Calzaghe, Ward and Bute (in an eliminator), and opening a cut on Beyer in a fight that seems destined to have otherwise become a robbery loss.
