If the best he can is hoping the champ has gotten old to overnight

Thats true if the man isnt someones grandfather or is shot or ten years past his prime or completely irrelevent. Wtf is it with boxers these days thinking fans will believe whatever BS they put out there. There was a time when it was the promotors job to talk ****e.Comment

Sorry Sunny, you've been misled.
To become the man, you've got to "Beat The Man That Beat The Man". That's straight out of the #1 P4P's mouth.
So in your case, let's see...maybe if you find Nick Walters wherever the hell he is and beat him, right...because he stopped prime Donaire? That might work.Comment

this is true, but I don't see how he's gonna win. Mthalane is no spring chicken, but Edwards make Haney look like Ernie ShaversComment

Not really today.
If more top guys were fighting than yea it would mean that more often probably. But with so many top guys not fighting that leaves rankings looking more like tiers than ordered rankings from champion to #10 cuz few fights have taken place between those ranked guys. So if you come from the gutter to beat the #1 guy there is a better argument to make the #1 guy fell off more than the gutter guy went from #26 or whatever to #1 in one fight. Thus there is more of an argument when a lower level guy beats the #1 guy that the #2 guy should now move up to #1.
Granted if the #5 guy beats the #1 guy I think this same thinking could apply, but more often than not it wouldn't. So a top tier guy would leap frog to #1 more often from that position. But you can't go from #26 to #1. You still got sh^t to prove vs top tier talent regardless of the quality of your one high level W.Comment
