    I am from Mississauga where Molitor did train, I also follow him very closely but why in the world is he never even futured on this site? His next fight is stated to be a unification fight with Celestino Caballero in November. He's undefeated and the IBF Champ of the division yet he gets absolutely no reconigition from this site or others.

    Anybody know why or have any ideas why he's an unknown name in the game? Hes a masterful boxer with a wide skill range and he's also working on his power so I say he's a force to be reckoned with in the 122 lbs. division.

    His fight with Caballero is supposedly going to be televised in the U.S. on ShoBox. I think that will be a great opportunity for people here to get to know him. He's a top five fighter in the very strong 122 pound division and, from what I hear, he is going to give Caballero problems.

    Calm down Bombay:smooch

    People who appreciate boxing appreciate Molitor.

    I started a thread a while ago, in regards to one's personal top 10 boxers at the moment. I put Molitor in mine; got ripped by some guy about it, but I stand by the choice. Great wee boxer. Hope he unifies with one or more at SBW. He has the tools. :good

    Yeah.

    That was a clinical display.

    I had seen him fight a few times before, but that was a real good performance and marked him out for me. I remember going into that fight and thinking to myself why the British press thought Hunter had any kind of a chance.....different levels completely.

    I was talking about the front page of ESB they never have any features on him but I noticed now after doing some thread searching people are noticing him. D-MAC and Pharoah you guys are right hes getting more exposure and he will give Caballero problems. I believe he can unify the division but he'll meet a very tough challenge in Vasquez and Marquez.

    Molitor is still underrated forsure but he is still young and when (if) he unifies he will be a big star IMO.

    He and Cristian Mijares are the best lower weight guys to watch if people out there arn't watching these two it's truly a loss to a die-hard boxing fan.

    if you're a big fan, then you can write up a feature and submit it to ESB, they will put it up on the front page
