    as long as victor is concentrating on being more of a complete boxer as opposed to a crowd pleaser, he'll have more options. it aint like he somehow managed to phase out the power out of his game. he's still the hardest hitter at 140 imo...and now he boxes more? sky's the limit. he just has to find a balance.
    You're trippin', man.

    Don't get me wrong, Vicky has alot of upside, but, it's the mental part I seriously question about the kid. And it looks like we ain't gonna find out for awhile if he's really different now than before. I mean, from a strategic aspect, yes, he's more careful, but, in a fight where he will not have the luxury of just pickin' his shots, I don't know, man.

      Maidana has turned out to be championship level and pretty damn strong. Ortiz has and will continue to grow from that loss mentally. He knows he needs to box more now. I think he matches up nicely with all of the Champs.

        I think it needs to be against a rugged but beatable opponent. IMO Lamont Peterson fits this bill perfectly.
        spot on. really good match up that is
