    Yeah, thought he had all the attributes to develop into someone who could challenge at the top of the division. D'oh!

      Bojados a good pick.

        mike arnaoutis, he was on his way then fell off, personally i think he needs to regroup and get a new team at the very least a new trainer, i think he has the goods, he's just making some comfortable decisions about his career that lead him to working with lesser caliber of trainers. just like when he hired mcgirt, he hired a guy who was in a serious losing streak as a trainer, and he hired him for his biggest fight....... not a wise move.

        i'd like to see him do better and think he can, but at the end of the day, if he doesn't get a better trainer, he might as well look to be a journeyman...... sad to say because now he's going to be a gatekeeper if he's not careful. and if you look at his last fight in which he was clearly robbed, it's already happening...........

            Joe lepsis........

            I saw him fight twice. The kid had some pretty good skills, and handspeed. After two televised wins, he got his shot on HBO....Against B-Hop

            He was KO'ed (violently).

            He never fought again..........


            I remember the HBO cast being very upset with the match making. They were screaming "It was to soon"!
