          what about michael grant im sure he made some good money when he fought lennox lewis and he turned out to be a big flop many fighters due to hype have made a big payday and got a title shot or shots.

              I wonder how many will remember Billy Walker
              He made his name on knocking out that American in the amateurs, good looking guy who was an exciting fighter if not exactly blessed with talent.

                  yeah different factors will allow fighters to get title shots or big paydays that they probably dont deserve based on their skill level look at john duddy who has a big irish following out here in ny and makes some money or jcc jr who has a father who is such a legend in his home country that his son can fight an unknown and have it on ppv

                    Julio cesar chavez jr is a very average fight, i couldnt even call him a contender thats an insult to fighters like angulo and david lopez
