That guy wasn't near top 10...
Barely even in the top 100.
Decent opponent with a padded up record.

I hate to bring up nationality but this is British hyperbole. When a Brit fighter gets some recognition they almost automatically make him out to be one of the greatest of all time in there weight.
Happened after Hatton beat Tzu, after Calz beat Lacey and now after Haye beat Manz.....it will probably also happen when Amir Chan beats his first decent opponent too.Comment

Bonin was ranked 11 by the WBC, (rightfully) unranked by every other title organization (WBA, WBO, IBF).
His promoter had probably paid for that rank because there's not a single decent win on his record. All of his wins come over local opposition.Comment
