Whats the problem if he gets another televised event. He's a decent fighter. People talk too much shit about him for no reason. He had very impressive wins over Pemberton and Spina, he got knocked out by Calzaghe which he shouldnt get blasted for because Calzaghes a great fighter, and he had a very close fight with Lacy which most people feel he won.
Plus he stays busy which most boxers dont do. This will be his second fight in 3 weeks. In my opinion, he just deserves some respect.
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.
Manfredo definitely doesnt deserve the disrespect he gets. Hes actually a good boxer, and you just gotta look at his fights with Spina and Pemberton to see that.
I even thought he barely won the fight against Lacy, just by 1 point though.
He's just in a tough weight division, if he moves down to middle, I can see him beating a lot of the top 15.
Theres definitely still hope for him.
