I could be wrong....but come June 7 Sergio Hora (Mora) will get the shock of his life...Vernon is going to bring Mora back to earth and kill all the hype that surrounds this bum. Mora will then see he isnt all that. (just my opinion)

not that I dont agree with you about Vernon beating Mora pretty easily but who exactly is still hyping up Mora? He hasn't been anyone of signifigance for a long time and surely isn't that respected amongst most hard core fans. Heck he was brought in to be the opponent for Taylor only to back out of it.

I don't think anyone is hyping up Mora like you say

Shock? Hype?

Biggest reality check = RJJ Vs Johnson

Its got to be Lacy. I rewatched some of that fight today. It was an abosolute masterclass, Calzaghe outworked him on the inside, outside. Calzaghe was stronger, faster, using all the angles, turning the shots in, finding the gaps, slipping, countering. In and out 1,2,3. Absolutely amazing, I'm no Calzaghe nuthugger and I know that was only Lacy's 22nd Pro fight but he had A LOT of amateur experience and was in the IBF/IBO champion at the time and had been knocking out people right, left and centre. A lot of people had been predicting Lacy to win, not lest because of his physical build, which was truly outstanding, especially compared to Calzaghe's. Lacy wins this thread by a country mile.

You got there before me, but surely that has to be the biggest. Who else got beat up so badly recently?

Maybe you dont see how I see and thats cool...but Mora carries himself like he is the top dawg...He needs a reality check IMO...I cant knock how you guys feel about Mora but dont knock me for how I feel about him...Dude needs his ass beat so he can get off his high horse.

[Jim Jeffries]

Lacy is a good one. How about Chris Byrd at LHW? All this talk about superfights with RJJ, etc.

true but a lot of fighters act in such manner. It comes with the territory.

whose knocking you? LOL just pointed out no one seems to be riding this dude anymore.

all the old LHWs like Tarver Hopkins and Johnson all must have been pissed to see a potential payday fly away like that.

Jeff Lacy, I remember when he would just scare his opponents with his diesel arms
