However, in this era, no, there are probably none. However, I like what I see from Lomachenko so far.

    Boxing had a lot more credible fighters in the old days. Most guys lost coming up and title shots were a hell of a lot harder to get back then. No one focused a lot on the "0" which is BS for the most part. A lot of these guys could use a good humbling fight on their way up. That way, when they got the title, they'd be better equipped to handle making defenses and staying on top. A flawless record looks great on paper, but it hardly ever tells the truth. Salido definitely is a warrior and has the guts to dish it out with anybody.

    Do you think he will make it into the HOF?
    that's what i meant dude.

    As for the HOF, i hope so...

      Oh I know that's what you meant. I was pretty much further illustrating your point. Guys like Salido were once the norm as far as fighting everybody. A lot has fallen off.

      If he beats Miura, I can see him getting in. He may anyway. Talk about a guy who fought adversity and kept coming back.

        My thoughts too.

        I think Miura is a bit fresher, really hope Salido pulls it off and then gets one final payday but i see Miura stopping him after both get dropped in a brutal war.

        One thing we know is Siri aient staying on the canvas if he's dropped...he will go to sleep if need's be...

          Oh yeah. True warrior all the way. If he were an ancient Aztec losing a battle to another tribe, he'd be the last SOB there at the end. The other tribe would probably try to recruit him. Haha.

              Haha. That Ortiz tribe's a bunch of b1tches. They were overtaken by the Berto Clan who got all but wiped out by the Soto-Karass's and they can't even pick a name.

                lol.
                You just know the Ortiz tribe were the dudes that ran to the spanish conquistadors as they arrivded in mexico and begged them like b!tches for mercy. While the Salido tribe let out a warcry as they prepared for battle, despite being outnumbered 10-1 by invaders with better weaponry.

                  Haha. Ortiz: Is there anything we can get for-

                  Gets cut off by a Conquistador with a b1tch slap.

                  Off in the horizon, the Conquistador sees a dark, evil, savage tribe headed straight for his army. He asks the bloody-lipped Ortiz, "Who is that?"

                  Ortiz: Oh no. It's Salido! Protect me, senor! I beg you!

                  Once again, Conquistador b1tch slap. Ortiz cowers. Salido charges. The conquistadors stand their ground and beat the Saldios by sheer numbers. Bodies lie everywhere. They come to the last bloodied member. The Conquistador says "Who are you?" The Salido runs a spear through the Conquistador and with his face a bloody mask, he says, "They call me Orlando. And they call you dead."

                  That was Salido's great grandpa. The Ortiz's went on to work as servants for the Conquistadors. Ha

                    Apocalypto the sequel! get mel on the phone

                    mind you if his acting is as bad as the expendables, we will have to re-cast him.

                    Salido will play himself...naturally...Danny Trejo as backup

                      Haha. Mel will have to break out the Braveheart skills if they are still left in him. I hear his new movie is bad a$$ though.

                      No Danny Trejo. The guy is in everything! A friend showed me his wedding photos. I swear Danny was there and it was a private wedding! Haha
