      He'll be remembered for getting KO'd by a rib buster shot from GGG

        For British fans I would imagine it would be his barnstormer with Jamie Moore.

        Epic fight.

            In Europe he'll be remembered for the fight of the year against Moore. Beating Felix Sturm but getting robbed.

              I'll always remember him for knocking Asikainen TFO and giving Martinez a tough time.



              ... and then looking utterly petrified of Golovkin.

                  Nice to see him go out on a win.

                  He gave us some fun fights. He was maybe unlucky not to pick up a title against Sturm.

                  His fight with Jamie Moore was brilliant.

                    Would have loved to have seen him finish with a shot at 154, I thought that was where he was headed and he picked up a few handy wins after the GGG loss. Good luck to him, got robbed against Sturm.
