I have him at #4 after, sadly, being done in, by the German judges. He drops three places, but, like Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Joe Louis and other heavyweight greats, he WILL be back. I have faith in his abilities. Bergeron will be back on his throne at the end of 2009.
You're right, I can't. He's probably number 1 based on ability, but when you factor in that loss today (even if he decided to lose before the actual fight), I will have to drop him behind Floyd Mayweather.
Bergeron is human? Is Love human? Is God human? Somethings transcend the mortal realm. Bergeron is one of those things.
Strange as it seems, our joking is actually the way we root Bergeron on. We all genuinely wanted him to win tonight.
