    You'd be surprised how many legends never cleaned out their divisions.

      He didn't defend it againt Hops, he beat him for it. He was the LHW #1 having beaten Tarver, a very legitimate win as even the cynics were forced to realise a few weeks ago with him dominating Pavlik.

      A lot will 'remember' him for those last two performances as they received some, some, of the most media attention certainly in some area's. As for achievements the next 5 years it'll be the latest wins, becoming a 2 weight world champion. Longer term 21 defences, un beaten will be more recognised later on.

          Not really. Even Tocker Pudwill would probably smash your teeth in.

            To answer your sig he has to beat a legitimate champion.
            He needs to fight someone here in the states and not pick on the elder
            I think he is a very good fighter , crafty and awkward.
            I just want to see how he would handle a younger guy like a Taylor, AA, Dawson or a older guy in Johnson.

              Waiting 10 years until all the best Middleweights had either stepped up or become damaged?

              Holding on to the paper WBO belt for years un-unified?

              Beating shot legends?

              Slapping his way to an unjust win over Hopkins?

              Having an incoherent moron for a father?

              Calling English fans cowards after being born in Hammersmith?

              I could go on????

                His slap techinique. It's effective and he scores points. I've been trying to imitate it, but his is the best.
