    Imagine if he could have added Ward, Dirrel, Froch, AA etc too his resume
    It would be outstanding but will probably never happen so there will always be the what if and honestly there are 2 many.

      yeah he's very tiny it's almost unbelievable. When I spoke to Jameel Mccline I couldn't help but notice how skinny the mans legs were. He's big up top and small on the bottom but he can move. Paul Williams is a freak of nature, I remember thinking in a street fight I'd just rush his skinny ass but in the ring how could you get past his reach. His arms are super long and it wasn't until then that I said there is no way Mosley, Mayweather or Pacquiao would should ever step in the ring with him. At the weigh in I thought Winky would have a chance because PWIL looked like a tall ethipian and you could see his ribs he weighed 157 but it just didn't look right for some reason

        Whoever wins will come out with a good resume. If you look at Froch if he was to win his next 2 fights (thats 'if'), he would have these names on his resume:

        Pascal
        Taylor
        Dirrell
        Kessler
        Abraham

        You could probably also add 'Ward' to that list if Froch was to go on to win the tournament. Id probably say that was better than Calzaghe's resume (although Eubank, Hopkins and Kessler were great wins in my opinion).

        Although (slighty off topic ) i do think a slightly younger Calzaghe would of won this tournament.

          Yes Williams and Funeka are very unique fighters, big frames but they can squeeze themselves into those smaller weight classes.

            Poor Funeka the man just can't catch a break. I thought the judges would give it to him but Guzman was just to fresh and did attempt to make weight what a POS.

              Thats a more than fair accessment, I can respect that. Its fun watching a young guy thats not the hardest hitting guy out there frustrate the power punchers so to do that against someone like Arthur Abraham would have been alot more creditble than a Jeff Lacy. I still wonder how Jeff Lacy b/c known as unstoppable, HBO wouldn't even deal with him b/c they knew he was a limited fighter. At one point they even considered serving up to Felix Trinidad, but Winky scored that touchdown with Dan Birmingham since he was both mens trainer at that time

                Yeah, Guzman really is screwing up, win or lose. But I really didn't think Guzman would win the second time. He looked like his old self again, but I doubt he will be fighting lightweights anymore.

                  Guzman needs to be banned from the lightweight division. I was all for Funeka this time but I started almost cheering Guzman to the finish line b/c he showed some serious balls and fought an intelligent fight. I think Funeka's last 2 opponents understood it could be certain death making weight against Funeka. Zahir Raheem was served up on a platter nicely for Funeka and wasted no time with him or his boxing skills and still to this day Zahir Raheem has been wondering the streets of Johanesburg lol. Juan Guzman vs. Lamont Peterson

                    Yer but all depends on points in this torni, Direll, Kessler & Abraham have all now lost.

                    And Abaraham is still leading due to a knockout.

                    If Froch or Ward win i would think there records would beat joes!
