    WHY is Quintana fail?

    Also, I know who 7 of the 8 fighters are on greatests, but I can't figure out who the last one is...

    Who is the one in the 7th spot on greatests?

    I know Camacho, Rosario, Trinidad, Cotto, Calderon, Gomez and Lopez... who's missing?

      Anyway because of both guys having a very high ranking, this fight is a step forward to make a RING and lineal champion in WW division, isn`t it?

      P.S. Should all the sanctioning bodies let the unification bouts occur consecutively, all mandatory challengers would suck male genital organ for at least a year...

      IMO the problem is not about the sanctioning bodies themselves. Personally i have nothing against the IBF decision. The problem is in their numbers...

          That is Wilfredo "El Radar" Benitez. He became the youngest champion ever at 17 years old, a record that I think nobody will ever break. They called him the radar because it was really hard to hit him. Now he has brain damage due to staying too long in the sport. Look him up, he was the man! ChampBox@P.R. has him on his avatar.

            As far as I'm concerned, he's still champ. He held the belt for all that time and nobody wanted a fight - so whoever inherits it next is no champ in my view.

              Who cares about these belts they have no prestige anymore. Boxing public knows that these two warriors are gonna get it on. In the end Clottey shouldn't had idle soo long with the belt, he had a lot of time between his last fight and this fight to defend it.

              At this point it's pointless. Looking foward for an action packed fight.

                Thanks, Josh, for understanding what is important.
                Shame on the IBF. Why would the not want to be involved in a unification bout with Clottey and Cotto?

                  I know who he is... the guy who gets almost no credit because he lost to Leonard and Hearns... kind of like Vargas of this era. A guy who was absolutely terrific, but just ran into guys who were a little more terrific.

                  I just didn't recognize his picture.

                  I'm pretty disgusted with myself for not just guessing that... I mean, really, of all the great PR fighters, if there is ever a top 8 list, he will obviously be on it.
