Kotelnik just fought Maidana, a possible future champ. Sturm just beat Sylvester, considered the best non-titleholder MW. Bute, although there was some controversy, beat Andrade not too long ago. Erdei's recent run is the worst. He faced former or future title holders in Garay and Sahnoune, but that was years back, his recent record is pretty awful, and I don't see a big name coming. His record is the worst of these names. Sturm will face the undeserving Sato, who is pretty awful. Kotelnik will fight Victor Ortiz, I don't see how he's a record padder. Bute will either face Green or Pascal and then Andrade, who the HELL is he a record padder?
Erdei actually has fought some good fighters. But out of them he is the guy who has gone out of his way the most to fight increasingly worse opposition as his career has gone on.
Omar's record isnt to bad overall considering the weakness of the division now. But its becoming clear he is just going for some kind of record with the strap. I admire he has been busy but quality over quantity I say.
OP not been back since page one, so there's some possibility he has enacted a self-ban in shame at including Kotelnik...
i'm sorry...maybe i'm just not gettin it but, someone please explain to me how Bute has a padded record
