    Why do you think that? Its about egos as to why the Klitschko fights havent happend and Haye has given over to many demands

    i thought the question was who will not turn out to be hype jobs. the jury is still out with respect to khan and donaire but of the current crop (including bradley, alexander, gamboa, rigo, etc.), i am going with both khan and donaire.

    Kessler has a proven SMW resume. When Kessler fought away to Ward he was an unwell fighter who was illegally headbutted and cheated against. Kessler also had the ref on his case when he was being fouled. That fight was in alot or ways similar to when Reid fought away to Ottke.
    After losing to Ward away when fouled, he then came back and beat undefeated Froch in his next fight

    I gave Cunningham the benefit of the doubt due to being willing to travel to fight tough but not well known European competition

    Cunningham is a fighter that deserves credit and respect, he is fighting tough foreign opposition that isnt recognised but are tougher than he would be getting against recognised names in America like Flores :rofl.


    As for Erdei he is proven


    Zsolt Erdei is another who deserves more respect and credit, hes an undefeated former 2 weight world champ that had a better LHW resume than Dawson who was a recent P4Per. Completely off subject but read below. You may see where I am coming from

    Erdei beat
    This content is protected
    Ring #2 LHW who had just contraversially beaten Michalczewski

    Erdei beat undefeated
    This content is protected
    twice who went on to become WBA champ and has a victory over current WBO LHW champ Braehmer

    Erdei beat
    This content is protected
    who has only lost to undefeated fighters and was scheduled for an int WBO LHW title shot, with the winner to be full champ if Braehmer is forced to vacate. Lakatos had to withdraw

    Erdei beat
    This content is protected
    the world rated former WBA LHW champ who had only lost once. A very good win.

    Erdei beat
    This content is protected
    the European LHW champ

    Erdei beat
    This content is protected
    who has a victory over Ulrich

    When
    This content is protected
    backed out of fighting Erdei,

    Erdei gave away 17 lbs at the weigh in and went up a division and fought away to win the WBC CW title off of

    .


    Think Dawson hasnt beaten a fighter rated above #2 by the Ring as Hopkins hogged the #1 spot for ages, and Erdei has a win over a fighter that beat Johnson, who nearly beat Dawson and that was Dawsons big win.

    All off subject now, but it might have been good reading for you

    Catch weights are OFTEN not always done to help one fighter gain an advantage

    I said proven pro drug cheats. Has Vitali been found to be using steroids as a pro?
    Cotto didnt ask to fight Pac at 145, Pac asked Cotto to fight at 145, that was Pacquiaos request not Cottos

    Cunningham has proven beyond all doubt that he is not a hypejob.

    Who hyped him up anyway? Nobody even seems to care about the guy. He's ranked lowly P4P.
