Me too!
But I think Hulk might be on to something :)
Maybe. Here's the guy I'm talking about:
Zsolt Erdei - Boxer

Is this a serious question?!?!?
Let's see.... how can I put this mildly.....
JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ Jr., of course

U can't b serious . Is fighting Juarez in d U.S and being denied of d decision is what u call protected ? or when Sturm had to give his title to DLH so DLH would have had some excuse for a claim (besides money) for d "Ring Mgazine"/lineal/whatever world middleweight title when he challenged Hopkins ?
Anyway , 4 me , d current most protected fighter in d world is Povetkin , but there r many more extremely protected fighters , and 1 would b surprised 2 know that protecting a fighter is an old tradition as d sport itself .
The operative word was "
currently." Chris John is in a division with many top fighters and he's faced 0. His best win in recent years was Rocky Juarez. For a longstanding champion, enough said.
Felix Sturm fought ODLH in 2005, he missed fights with AA, Pavlik, now Martinez. He has avoided many, many challenges.
Regarding Sturm u seem 2 me like correct .
Regarding John , maybe they r ducking him ? just maybe ?

I used to berate Zsolt like no other, but then he went up to cruiserweight and beat that Italian guy, I forget his name. Now he literally moved to Philadelphia to break through in the states. He hasn't done it yet, but I'll hold off on criticizing him for the time being for at least making the effort for trying to improve his legacy.

I don't see it that way. Gamboa is the best in the division. There is no doubt about it and before Juanma was shelled by Salido, there were two titans in the division, and John still remained in Indonesia.
