Well some are justified though. Remember when Hopkins was middleweight champ and just dominated a mandatory, followed by Larry Merchant asking him afterwards "Aren't you embarrassed?" Who was that anyway? Wasn't that towards the end of his run at middle?

The French mandatory Hakar? Who ran the entire first round in circles?

Yeah, I think that was the guy. How does someone like that become a mandatory? Or Akinwande in the late '90s in the heavyweight division?
