    ** Shouldn't matter one whit. Guy is only 5' tall and could make 95lbs if he could make any money there.

    Here's a little guy with a buzzsaw offense. If you pasted Floydy's or Ali's mug on him everyone would be slobbering all over him as the best ever. He's lacks the pop to keep bigger, stronger guys off him, instead using footwork and angles seamlessly for both nonstop offense and defense, a modern day mini Willy Pep .

    By definition he's the fighter p4p was created for. In spite of entering his mid 30s he has yet to lose a step and remains undefeated.

    Line em up boys and I'll be happy plant those Ring chimps on their flabby fannies one by one.

Basing on their standards they can't put Mayweather in their list after the Marquez fight because that fight is a tuneup also.
      Regardless of what people say... Marquez is not a tune-up. Anyone who says that should probably be chemically sterilized and not be allowed to watch boxing anymore.

      I do agree it's ridiculous to penalize him for one fight though... They didn't cast Pavlik into the depths of hell for fighting Lockett.

        Agree, you know we got some serious ******* when fighters don't want to get in the ring with feather fisted Calderon.

            Also looking at the WBO rankings Rodel Mayol is Calderon's mandatory, I think that's why he's fighting him.

              Man, then that is extremely lame on the part of The Ring.

              An easy fight here and there is okay in my opinion, and it's 100% justified if it's a mandatory.

              Weird move on the part of The Ring.
