He was a good prospect. So was Broner and that never really worked out as planned either. Both of them ran into Maidana. Maidana is actually a great guy to test your level against.
Spence is getting the same treatment now. Quick, someone call the legit talent checker Maidana.
I see a lot of boxing prospects like Gamboa and Khan being hyped, but they have weaknesses and I have serious doubts whether they'll be able to succeed at the highest level.
Of all the young fighters, I think age 22 Victor Ortiz is the best! He showed it once again last night, by quickly and easily taking out a solid, world-class opponent.
Mike Arnaoutis had never been previously stopped, in fact never seriously hurt in a fight. His only two previous losses were a close decisions against Ricardo Torres (most observers thought he won) and Kendall Holt.
With Golden Boy, Ortiz has a promoter that can make the best fights happen for him. I'm hoping he'll be in a title eliminator next fight.
and then he became Maidana's son in his very next fight.
