      i've been completely unable to take that guy seriously after he wrote an article that supported a hall of fame bid for ottke, and shunned the induction of f#cking joe frazier.

          With the lack of bonafide elite fighters in the game today. I don't see how a "fight fan" couldn't be excited when you have two of those elites sharing a ring.

            Nevermind the other weights, just Manny being 8th vs Bradley 4th seems very questionable to me.

            Bradley clearly lost to Manny the first time, then he beat two tough opponents by a close margin (Provo and Marquez).

            Manny was beating Marquez, about to go up by 2 rounds, when he walked into a massive right hand and lost. Credit Marquez for a great punch, but does one punch really make you think that Bradley is better than Manny?

            Just to erase doubt that he'd never be able to fight at a top level again, Manny went out and dominated Rios in very impressive fashion.

            People say he's lost power and didn't KO Rios, but he didn't KO Margarito at the height of his success either, and he hit Margarito with many more shots than Rios (and got hit far more by Margarito than Rios).

            Of course Floyd being the #1 WW in the world is crystal clear, but it seems pretty clear to me that Manny is #2 WW. We should see for sure soon I suppose, that's why they fight these matches... but Bradley seems like he went from being quite underrated to quite overrated by so many.
            This is a "what have you done for me lately" biz homie. And lately, Bradley has been beetter than Pac. First of all, I don't personally feel Pac routed Bradley. I think Pac deserved the decision. But it wasn't near the robbery most feel. I consistantly get an 8-4 or 7-5 score for Pac. And I also take into account that Bradley fought 2/3 of that fight on one leg. So to me there's a bit of a question mark as to who the better fighter is. Secondly, Timmy didn't "barely" beat Provo and JMM. Bradley had a couple tough rounds against Prove. But in the middle rounds especially, I thought Bradley outboxed Provo rather easily. As for his fight with JMM, the closest you can score that fight is 8-4 Timmy. And you could have it wider than that. As for Pac. Since the first fight with Bradley. He's been concussed by JMM and beat a second or third tier jr welterweight, making his welterweight debut, and coming off a loss. That's not a resume that warrents a lotta P4P accolades, regardless of what your name is.

                  Lyle Fitzsimmons is clearly an alt of Ronnie Nathanielz.
