Yeah i agree. Espinosa was on the downward path anyways. best chance for him was before the Sotto fight.
Just bad timing for Espinosa. Before the Sotto fight he plan on suing HBO that practically sealed his doom. He would ve still lose that fight even if he knocks sotto down in every round.
Bad timing and bad officiating, I'm pretty sure Hamed would have fought him had he gotten the nod against Soto.
I doubt Espinosa hit as hard as Hamed if again, Emanuel Steward is to be believed when he said Hamed hit harder than Lewis on the pads, Espinosa was definitely a big puncher though.
I just think Hamed would have been too fast and awkward for Espinosa, Espinosa was a good counterpuncher but it took a great fighter in Barrera to actually counterpunch Hamed and be successful, I don't think Espinosa was as good as Barrera at counterpunching.
Maybe not as good but good enough IMO. plus he have 1 punch KO power in both hands.
Sulaiman after Espinosa-Sotto I : "Espinosa show the world a great boxing lesson"
Louie showed Great counterpunching lesson before more than two hundred thousand fans
That's the official excuse of duckers. Ask Floyd and Manny.
But it is true.

We'll agree to disagree on this one because I don't think he would have been good enough all around to beat Hamed, not to say he wasn't a good fighter, he was.
