    After seen this guy fight against Mitchell, I decided to look him up. This guy is actually very skilled. I compared him to what I've seen out of Pascal, Hopkins, Dawson, and Cloud ... I would have to say that he's technically superior to all those fighters.

    He's Joe Calzaghe like maybe even better !! ... He also beat Gonzales for the linear title some years back ... It would be nice to see him get a chance against the top 5 guys.

    At this stage Mitchell is little more than a can. The last time he was even remotely close to a world class fighter was back in 2007. But he got brutally KTFO by Richard Hall that year (who had taken the fight on 1 week's notice) and was never the same after.

    I know Mitchell was toast but I seen some very good skill and technique from Erdei and I looked him up some more and found out that he's very talented. I think he's the best LHW out there and now that he's fighting in the states, he's either going to get ducked or pull of an upset or two.

    Here is an old post, that I have printed before.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Zsolt Erdei is another who deserves more repsct 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 Gonzalez Ring #2 LHW who had just contraversially beaten Michalczewski

    Erdei beat undefeated H Garay twice who went on to become WBA champ and has a victory over current WBO LHW champ Braehmer

    Erdei beat A Lakatos 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 M Sahnoune the world rated former WBA LHW champ who had only lost once. A very good win.

    Erdei beat Ulrich the European LHW champ

    Erdei beat Barashian who has a victory over Ulrich

    When Cloud backed out of fighting Erdei,

    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=21920&more=1

    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 Fragomeni.

    Look at the double standards when it comes to Erdei -

    Erdei beats Murdoch then after that Murdoch is a good enough opponent for D Green the world rated CW
    Erdei beats Santiago by KO, then Santiago is an OK opponent for Tarver in Santiagos next fight
    Erdei beats Abron yet Abron is an OK opponent for Yusaf Mack, Adjamu and Brudov.

    Yet people rated Dawson for beating 2 fighters 14-15 years older than him. one with double figure losses and the other who split a couple of fights with that double figure losses fighter.

    Due to The Ring magazine not following the policy of beating the man to be the man. Michalczewski should have been Ring LHW champ (for his win over Hill. If you followed the original line of the Rings old title belt which disappeared and then reappeared and was just awarded to Jones with no real justification), which would now make Erdei the Ring champ .


    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
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now Erdei should be the Ring champ if you followed the true line, but the Ring just handed a title to Jones, when it should have been Michalczewski, that true line would make Erdei champ now.

    What does shock me is this ignorance. You have only noticed Erdei because he fought in America and before that so many just discredited him, because you/they hadnt seen him before.
    Erdei is an undefeated 2 weight champ, but because he is not featured in your Ring comic, you dont rate him

    Hello F
    I tend to agree with with you, but I think Erdei still needs to beat 2-3 of the guys you mentioned to be considered as the best LHW
    Erdei vs Dawson/Pascal/or even Hopkins would be amazing

    He gave up his claim to lineage when he announced his retirement from the sport.

    What bailey said is true, this guy was the rightful ring champ until his retirement.

    I think he's fighting jean next. That will tell us a lot.
