    Good point on them needing to be step ups themselves...as far as Ishe goes, whatever happened to his planned fight with Golovkin? I can't remember why he withdrew, but I thought that would've been a good litmus test for Golovkin as well.

    Good call. Not the most underrated though.

    Khan likely to vacate the WBA if a WBO fight with Bradley comes off, or maybe he will be elevated to Super champ status. Either way, I doubt Maidana will be connecting anytime soon with Khan's chin.

    Great points man.

    You haven't seen the fight though have you? Your ref comments are you working off an assumption based on the results? Cuz i don't know anyone who has seen that fight.

    He took it either way, it just seemed like he got caught up in the excitement of winning and went to his dressing room for a few seconds to celebrate forgetting he had to take a drug test immediately. Shumenov making accusations of what Campilo did those few seconds behind close doors does seem very whiny, when all he has is speculation.

    I wish I saw the fight. My logic behind saying that the ref was fine is that word of bad refereeing has a way of getting out even in obscure fights in the post-fight reports, recaps, and interviews. Not one of the ones I've read of the fight mentioned hometown refereeing or iffy calls going Shumenov's way. If there had been funny business, I'm assuming someone would've caught wind and reported it.

    It is an assumption on my part and should be treated as such, though. :thumbsup

    Rock0052 's comments and analysis of the whole situation is more accurate and on point imo. You seem to be making an issue out of nothing.

    Well I dont really give a **** about your opinion, but the fact is Shumenov did accuse Campillo of steorid use.

    If you think being accused of cheating isnt a big deal then there is no hope for you.

    Antonio Margarito Hes been a good fighter since the 90s and dont believe hes loaded his gloves in all his fights
    Fernando Montiel
    Rafeal Marquez dont believe hes shot
    Cory Spinks still difficult for anyone
    Robert Guerrero Hbo picked him up,but i dont hear much about him on ESB
    Yohnny Perez very good but he might face future pfp Abner Mares next
    Tavoris Cloud Dont hear as much about him as you should
    Rolando Reyes deserves a title shot
