Who Is The Best Fighter From all 3 seasons of "The Contender"

Well, the ones that have faced the best competition would be Manfredo, Bika, and Forbes. I'd give it to Forbes saying he was a former champ and he was competing against guys that were at least two weightclasses above him and he still finished runner-up in a very close fight. A name not in the poll though..Paul Smith. His performance against Banks was not impressive but he does have a lot of skill. I think I remember Pepe saying he'd be shocked if he wasn't world champ one day, or something of that nature in one of the episodes. But yea, wouldn't be surprised to see him make a name for himself.

so ya.. Aside those of you with you Mexican Pride.. please explain this vote.. cuz you must be seriously trippin. http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/3179/crackoc9.jpg

I think that Stevie Forbes is the class of the Contenders, but Brian Vera has scored the biggest upset out of all of them against Andy Lee. I just think Gatti had no business in the ring anymore when he fought Gomez.

This is like choosing the prettiest Denny's waitress... lol I see what yer sayin.. But there was some talent in the show.. some

idk...good question

for me it goes 1. Ishe Smith 2. Peter Manfredo 3. Steve Forbes 4. Jaidon Codrington

Damn..these votes are crazy!!! My vote would go to both Ishe Smith and Peter Manfredo Jr. I just dont think Bikas that good. He doesnt have any boxing skill, hes just aggressive and stong. Any skillful boxer would beat him. I like Steve Forbes, and I would say hes probably the 3rd best to come out of all three seasons, but i think Manfredo and Smith are better. Peter Manfredo has done a lot after the contender. He beat Mora (thats why I dont understand how Mora has 10 votes and Manfredo only has 3), he upset Pemberton, had a good win vs Spina and almost beat Lacy in a very close fight. Plus he stays busy, which none of these other contenders do. His loss to Calzaghe shouldnt mean much because Calzaghe is a top 5 p4p. Ishe Smith has a lot of skill that a lot of people just dont see. I think the only reason he has had close fights recently is because of ring rust. He just needs to stay busy and he'll probably put up better performances.

ill be the first to admit. i dont know much about ishe.. i dont know why sakio is so highly regaurded tho.. he in the top but not the best.. skill wise, i always thought forbes was good.. sakio is a tuff bastard, with a unconventional style.. hit pretty hard.. but doesnt have too much skill. its his determination that won him that fight.. jaidon needed more experience.. if only hed use his fuckin jab son.. i didnt see the first season of the contender.. none of it.. i saw mora and manfredo who are both DECENT fighters

I kept looking back and forth between Bika, Forbes, and Smith. All three easily stand out as the best fighters to me. Smith just beat Julio imo, and he displays the top level skill in his fights even if he hasnt gotten the nod in a couple of them. glad someone shares my view.. I think people just dont know much about Ishe.

10 votes for Mora baffles me.. and so do the bika votes.. yall have watched the guy fight right? Jaidon easily had that fight if he just boxed. and lost count on mora's gift decisions. latin fake

I was tempted to say Bika but he failed at the top level, even tho he was competitive wit Bute and Joe C. Forbes has held a title and is a better all around fighter so he gets my vote. Also competitive against Beyer, where he hurt Beyer pretty good and arguably was winning before the stoppage.

Steve Forbes JIM!
