    Not sour grapes, something ive been saying for a while now, both on and off the forum. Check my post on the thread 'best boxer of the past 30 years', where i actually apologise for the rant in advance on the count of me having to get it off my chest on people overrating him. It cant be sour grapes because i actually like and admire him as a fighter and ATG,

    I feel he's generally overrated as well, not necessarily in a P4P sense, but surely at welterweight.

    So many have him as a top 5 in the division even though the best guys he beat there were Cuevas, Randy Sheilds, Bruce Curry, and Eddie Gazo. His resume is far from worthy of top 10 status in the division's history, and his high H2H ranking doesn't really make up for it.

    Silly mistake, and part of an even sillier argument! Could never understand why people bag champions.

    Didn't mean you bagging champions here. Meant where Kostya's been unfairly critisized in this thread.

    I agree forums are for open discussion, and at times even champions bring some critisism on themselves. However, when people question the courage of a guy who unified world titles it makes me puke!

    Located in VIC mate.
