    what i was trying to say is that its a shame that bad management ruined david's career. i remember he was an amazing talent and in only his 12 fight, he gave tito a run for his money

    idiot!

    The decade he was referring was the previous decade. January 1, 2010 belongs to the next decade.

    WTF was Billy dib listed there. He is just a prospect, fighting in Australia against tomato can opponents. Of course he would look great in Australia.

    There are more fighters to list than that. Example Joan Guzman - talentwise no question great but fought so so opposition. Include Valero as well. How about Mijares? He had accomplished more but nosedived miserably.

    Some good choices but I disagree with Hatton. I think if he didn't blow-up between fights, and he worked harder on developing a better D than he would count, but that's too many if's and but's. The fact is he done well with what he had, which in the technical department was actually at times very little, and he's made millions off of beating B- level fighters and losing to the elite.

    Mayorga. Many was saying he wil lbe the next Roberto Duran :lol: He was ridiculously overrated.

    Mormeck. I really thought this guy was going to rule the cruiserweight for a long time. To bad he always had the tendency to twist his body too much that causes him to get hit almost at the back of the head.

    Tyson being lazy and coming in at a stupid 234lbs to fight Lewis, I would have liked to see him in decent ripped shape like he was for the Etienne fight at 225¾lbs, then again there he did have Roach who got him to train properly for that fight.

    I actually thought Cotto would have been one of the nastier stylistic match-ups for Floyd. Fundamentally sound defence, doesn't make technical mistakes, can throw combinations and apply effective pressure against weaker men. Bad package for PBF.

    1.winky wright (looked poor against hopkins and williams, seems to have no fight in him)
    2. jermain taylor (probably the unfittest man in the sport. does he ever go running)
    3. zsolt erdei (fights bums)
    4. antonio margarito (cheater)
    5. zab judah (brain dead)
    6. floyd mayweather snr (*******, liar)
    7. frank warren (protects his fighters more than anyone)
    8. juan diaz (overhyped fat lightweight)
    9. Audley Harrison (do i have to say anything)
    10. Roy Jones (great fighter dissapointing that he hasnt hung up his gloves as he isnt doing himself justice, he is ruining a very good record)
