    Crolla for me has done very well considering his ability and this will be especially true if he beats Linares. Who do you think has exceeded the expectations of most people?

    ahhh Danny is definitely one but he has had some gifts along the way, Bradley I think had a lot of talent to be fair especially at 140. he just happen to come at a time where we had two of the most dominant welterweights of the last decade in manny and floyd.

    Get out of here with that... He was highly touted when he came out of the Olympics, and he solidified his Talent when he beat a once beaten Chicanito in only his 19th pro fight. He's earned his wins.

    Amnat Ruenroeng?
    Turned pro at 32 and went on to notch wins over Rocky Fuentes, Kazuto Ioka, McWilliams Arroyo, Zou Shiming and Johnriel Casimero. Technically he wasn't bad but given his age that's genuine over-achievement in a division where most fighters are on the down part of their career by the age of 30.

    The only fights that are remotely controversial to people, is the first Castillo fight, and first Maidana fight.

    Floyd could have lost the first Castillo fight, because that was super close and really could have gone either way.

    Maidana, has the lead on my card after 6, but Floyd picked up the pace and won with clean punching down the stretch. 7-5 Floyd was what I had it. I can't see Maidana winning, period.

    Liam smith for managing to win a junior middleweight strap without fighting one solid fighter until now.
