    I don't mean to denigrate them, I promise. I just don't get caught up into the hype whenever they put one of their own on a pedestal. Not sure if you recall how Aussie media heralded Danny Green as an ATG and proclaimed his "shock" KO of Roy Jones Jr as one of the greatest accomplishments of an Aussie fighter.

      -------------------------
      He is going to have a difficult time at 160 too however, he might win a title or too considering how empty the division is.

        Really strange run he had, beat Roy Jones, was one of the more notable Cruisers of the time, would defend it at like 185, because he was notable he elevated the IBO title for a period, had a fight with Briggs where Briggs clearly took a dive, finally lost the IBO title to Tarver.

            Fundora will get clipped by Ortiz or Boots.
            Look at how he got KO’d by Mendoza.
