  • Whatever, not a big deal. At any rate, Rigo/Bradley both eclipse Floyd this year. Both were underdogs against top 5 P4P ranked fighters and both won. Agbeko isn't much of a win, but it's not too bad either, and he managed to make Agbeko look like a shell.

    Bradley's Ruslan win wasn't dominant, but he pulled it out and showed a lot of heart. Plus, Ruslan has turned out to be a bit of a beast.

    I don't care which one is favored over the other, but Floyd didn't accomplish what they did. Not even close, really.

      I'll agree about Guerrero, but Alvarez is where Floyd loses it. Yes it's the fight we wanted and I'm not going to take his credit now, but Alvarez was not a comparable win to Rigo over Donaire. After last night and Lara's ass whipping of Trout, Alvarez looks even worse after having such a close fraud of a fight with Trout. Rigo's wins are just better.

      I think Bradley should be well ahead as well since he was the underdog against Marquez.
      I think it makes Lara let better as opposed to Canelo looking worse.

      Canelo was an obvious top fight for Mayweather, against a top fighter being vastly outweighed.

      It's not comparable to a win over Donaire and it's not as good as Bradley's win over Marquez either but it's still a top top win.

      If Rigondeaux or Bradley who two huge wins then I'd understand the notion of them being unquestionably the leaders but they don't. Also Bradley didn't dominate either of his fights as opposed to Floyd who dominated both of his barely dropping a round to either (I had both a shutout on my card)

      Plus, Mayweather is going to win it

        It would be ****** to say "trust me" when I could just be saying that to make my case, but it was 50-50 until fight week. I remember being very surprised by it.
        It was close on here largely due to the hard work of Dan_Cov. The bookies had Rigo a 3-1 or 4-1 underdog if i remember, and that was generally how much of a chance people were giving him outside this forum
