    Robin Reid and Mads Larsen were absolutely robbed and on the basis of those 2 alone you can't put Ottke up their. The others i mentioned can certainly feel aggreived for not getting the decision. I mentioned Mundine on the basis that you gave mention to Ottke's amateur career without it having any relevance to what went on in his pro career. And was Mundine really a 2 time world champ? Sure the records will say so but he never actually defeated the champion in the ring, and you know that too im sure. A lot of these guys records are as flawed as the current 168lb boxers on closer inspection.

    Mundine defeated Echols for a title that Ottke vacated when he retired,so again he didnt beat the champion in the ring. If you think so,fine thats your opinion. Mundine had already been beaten by Ottke and defeated by Siaca who Kessler knocked out,so why are you considering Mundine a good name on Kessler's record at that stage ? The other names on Kessler's record that yoy mention i wouldn't consider great.

    Green was weight drained even when he fought on at SMW for over a year after he lost to Beyer. He stayed put because of the Mundine fight, huge earner for both.

    The amateur point was an answer to a previous quote from someone else, so please read the whole quotes before replying to this as I mentioned before you havent seen the whole picture.
    The Larsen fight was debateable. I liked Larsen and wanted him to win, but could see an arguement in both sides as I recall, but Reid was hard done by, in my opinion.
    Sure fighters are flawed but today even more so, and that fact is hidden by great promotion and a great competition

    If a titles vacant you fight the next highest challenger. Did you not rate Cotto for never winning a title from a world champ until he beat Foreman? I dont, Cotto is a great fighter and in equivalent far better than Mundine, but you know what im saying and Mundine is a 2 time world champ.
    Kessler dosent have any massive names on his win resume other than Beyer, but his overall resume is whats great and what made Kessler a fantastic SMW

    Being beaten doesn't make you any worse as a fighter you ****in' idiot of gigantic proportions..:rofl:rofl:rofl Andrade wasn't better when he was undefeated you dumb **** :patsch

    Sorry Mr. Minion but the quality of fighters in the top 10 of 2010 thoroughly outclasses the quality of the guys in the top 10 of 2005, besides Kessler & Calzaghe. :deal

    You must suffer from the same vision problems Kessler has. :lol:

    Trying to make people believe Calzaghe's era is something special....priceless ! :D

    Ok, so in your opinion are Robert Stieglitz and Dmitri Sartison are as legitimate world champions as Mundine and therefore deserving of their current ranking?

    So now I know your deluded because the guys that are there now are mainly left overs. you got Pwned by facts and have given an answer without a debate, just saying you dont agree without facts. Now why dont you try and come back with a debate and facts to boast your claim... I forgot, thats not your strong point

    Great point i think. Bailey you seem to think having paper titles holds huge relevence as you felt the need to put in brackets after each name. I suppose Erdei was the greatest LHW of all time.

    Yes, they just havent been involved in as many title fights yet. The only problem with Sartison is having a WBA regular belt, but thats sadly what these sanctioning bodies do. It dosent mean they are the best of the division though

    That would be like trying to convince you that "Jessica Alba's" a hot woman but you'd keep on arguing back saying that "Susan Boyle's" much better looking...you ****in' twit !!!

    Erdei is a fantastic LHW, not for being undefeated but because of his resume, although that is another thread, and im sure you know that I think Erdei is a good boxer, so you are attempting to change the SMW subject to give yourself a new debate, but stick to the subject at hand, we can debate Erdeis career on another thread if you start one

    :lol: Amusing but further proof you cant debate the subject and are now trying to find reasons to stay on the thread without actually debating the subject. Failure :patsch
