    Haha, Kevin the Kingpin.

    Did he even try to land a punch in that fight. From what I remember of the fight he spent 12 rounds attempting to slip and duck jabs.

    30 years ago there were such things as poor americans. Food stamps, section 8 housing, and all other kinds of govt programs, along with the serious money being made on the street has caused american youth to be lazy and apathetic.

    Only in the the former soviet union will you find true hungry fighters, who could potentially dominate the sport.

    All the american heavyweights are busy fighting and getting their asses kicked by the Klit bros, while dudes like Haye are too busy running from the Klits like a *****.

    At WW id say its a toss up between Pac and Maywheather, with an edge to Pac, thats dosent mean I think Pac would beat or wouldnt beat Floyd, its based on results, ie Cotto beats Mosely, Pac beats Cotto and Floyd beats Mosely. Floyd beat Judah, Judah lost to Clottey and Pac beat Clottey. So id put Pac above Floyd in the WW division but it is close.

    At LHW you have Erdei who is an undefeated 2 weight champ and if the Ring hadnt just awarded its new belt to Jones, after it disappeared, and followed the you have to beat the man to be the man, Erdei would be the Ring champ now.
    Erdei beat Gonzalez when he was highly rated, for his big win over Michalczewski. I believe Gonzalez was #2 rated. Dawson has never beaten anyone rated higher as Hopkins was holding the #1 spot for a long period. Erdei was WBO LHW champ 11 defences before relinquishing and winning the WBC CW title which he has relinquished to drop back down to LHW. Erdei has beaten top fighters in Sahnoune, Ulrich and Garay. Garay has a win over current WBO LHW champ Braehmer. Erdei has also beaten Santiago who was a good enough fighter for Tarver to meet straight after.
    Erdei is just not recognised, but has been consistent and beaten top fighters. Dawson gets credit for beating Tarver and Dawson who are both around 14/15 years older, when Erdei has a win over Gonzalez who beat Johnson, who nearly KOd Dawson and split a couple of fights with Tarver.
    So yes I rate Erdei
