    Lara hasn't lost a single fight in my eyes, and the eyes of many others.

    Rigo lost to the number one fighter in the world and was severely undersized.

    Gamboa was great but got destroyed by SMS promotions, inactive and very undersized against Crawford, who he was beating until he got caught.

    Luis Ortiz has only fought Wilder because all other top heavyweights have been ducking him.

    Solis knee went out against Vitali, then he fell victim to McDonald's menu.

      Post the approaches Luis Ortiz team has made to the following fighters

      Alexander Povetkin
      Kubrat Pulev
      Dominic Brezeale
      Andy Ruiz Jr
      Carlos Takam
      Adam kownaki
      Flip Hrgovic
      Joseph Parker

      Oh that's right they HAVEN'T

      Ortiz only wants to fight BUMS or world champions

      You HAVE to beat some guys in the middle ground, but Ortiz doesn't even TRY, he just signs fights vs bums and expects multiple title shots

          Try Jose Napoles the great welterweight champion. He was the best boxer I ever saw. He was a lightweight but no lightweight champion would fight him so he won the welterweight title and kept it for many years.

            Jose Napoles, Kid Gavilan, Luis Rodriguez and the original Kid Chocolate are among the greatest fighters in history period. Napoles was a joy to watch, a master boxer. He was a lightweight who dominated as the undisputed welterweight champion for close to a decade. Rodriguez probably has around 50 wins against top opposition, often fighting as a welterweight against top middleweights, fighting very often and maybe even beats Napoles head to head. Gavilan was incredible too.

            Jose Legra, Sugar Ramos, Joel Casamayor all excellent fighters with excellent careers too.

              Super bantam Rigondeaux is the real deal and only father time would have beaten him
              Featherweight Gamboa was a special fighter too
              Solis is unbeaten at the buffet.
