    What do you think of Ali Funeka?

    I've seen him fight a few times now and I've been impressed. IMO he deserved AT LEAST a draw against Campbell, and he was robbed against Guzman.

    What do you think of Funeka? Can he beat another top LW like Marquez or not? How do you think he will pan out? Titlist? Can he own the division?

    What are your thoughts?

        He's cool - the Williams of 135!

        As far as I'm concerned he's been robbed twice now, so I'm supporting him even more because of that. By now he should be undisputed LW champ and have made a successful defence. But nooooo, they had to go and rob him blind twice.

          I really felt bad for this guy after the Guzman fight. Talk about getting a raw deal. I hope he doesn't shy from coming back to America and taking big fights, it would be a shame.

          After the Campbell fight, I thought "Okay, this guy can fight"

          After the Guzman fight, I was very impressed. He's much better than I guessed.

            Campbell fight was close. I would've been fine with a draw.

              He should be the new IBF lightweight champion, right now. He's a tough fighter for anybody, in my opinion. He has a great height advantage and has some decent punches.

                I beleive his height size and style will give alot of fighters trouble at 135-140. I think he won the fight against Campbell and he defintely won against Guzman. His range and boxing skills are underrated and he has a good beard from what I have seen from him. His jab looked really good against Guzman and he was able to take over the fight after a few rounds. I mentioned him last night on the show when we were talking about Valero and I said I think he would give Valero major problems if they met up. I think he would give anyone a problem right now at that weight....Lefty

                  He does have a good chin, but I'm not sold yet. Against Campbell, who's not a huge puncher, at times he looked like he could be KOed.
