    Also:

    - Andre Ward (always fights at home with California referees who permit him to foul)
    - Andre Berto
    - Chavez Jr
    You know who's pretty protected? The Klitschkos.

    Because they fight in a division chock full of bums.

          At this exact moment I'd say Miguel Cotto. Since Foreman, Uncle Bob has kept Cotto out of great fights with Angulo, Cintron, and Sergio Martinez in order to keep him winning until a PPV rematch with Margarito. And I like how Arum's not even letting Margs have a tuneup in case he's completely shot because he doesn't want the public to find out.

          I wouldn't call Berto protected at all. Hes simply overpaid to the point where he's completely fine where hes at. Why take tough fights for the same amount of pay as you would get in an easy fight? He's stacking the cash against million dollar tomato cans, waiting for a shot against Pacman or Floyd. He may be a punk, but he's not really protected.

          Also, Chavez Jr has no doubt been kept out of any dangerous fight. However earning his belt against Zbik will be somewhat legit. Uncle Bob is still going to do everything to keep him away from Canelo and Sergio Martinez tho.

            Omar Narvaez and Chris John are cowards to the core.

              Easily Chavez Jr., but out of those guys Berto. Bute is kind of stuck because of the Super Six or he'd probably be fighting those guys. Sturm isn't big enough to be protected.

                  I really dislike Berto and Bute.

                  I can't wait till they get exposed.
