The most mediocre world champion of the last ten years...

[ono]

Holt also has wins over the bum that is David Diaz (if he's considered a "big win" for Manny why not for the first guy to do it), Hlatshwayo (a good solid fighter), Arnaoutis (need i say more? lol), and D-Hop

as for Campbell, did you forget that he also beat Ali Funeka? the same Funeka he dropped like a bag of bricks twice, and the same Funeka that basically dominated the undefeated Joan Guzman, and possibly the #1 or #2 guy at 135 now that Marquez has evidently left lightweight, don't try to change history cause come fight night most people had Campbell on their p4p lists and viewed the fight as a 50/50 fight, and IMO if it weren't for the headbutt Bradley still would have stopped him late

Most people had Nate Campbell on their p4p lists? Are you joking?

He probably would have stopped him, because Nate Campbell isn't a strong welterweight. The fight with Bradley was clear evidence of that.

Even Joan Guzman is a fighter who blows hot and cold. Infront of the right opposition he looks fantastic, but equally he's capable of looking crap. And again, he's another fighter who hasn't beaten anybody that's worthy of all the hype he's had on here over the last few years.

The David Diaz point...i don't think anybody saw Manny's win as 'big' it was more a case of seeing if Manny could take his power up with him. Would you say that Hlatshwayo, Mighty Mike and D-Hop are any better than Kotelnik? If so, why?

It's a never ending cycle. People have said they'd give Khan credit for beating Maidana, Holt, Campbell, Paulie etc... when none of them have done anything to suggest they are any better than Kotelnik (who he got little credit for beating).

yea most people had Campbell on their p4p lists AT THAT TIME, Guzman has solid wins over Barrios and HUMBERTO SOTO, and the Campbell/Bradley fight was at jr welter not welter, and it was already known that Campbell was unable to make 135 anymore so a jump up to 140 was inevitable, try what you may but Kotelnik was/is garbage his biggest win is against a fighter mentioned in the most mediocre champions in Reese, he got a GIFT against Maidana and then Khan smashed him, and the point that you try to suggest that the limited, feather punching Kotelnik should be rated as highly as other clearly better fighters in Malignaggi, Campbell, Holt, Maidana, Urango, J. Diaz, Hatton, Bradley, even Torres and Ngoudjo are better fighters, is just comical

next you'll be stating the same as Seanie did above and try to convince us that Reese really wasn't half bad

Sorry i meant light welter. Campbell won't ever be effective at 140. He didn't get a gift against Maidana. That's your opinion.

EDIT: Where did people have Campbell on their p4p lists? Top 100?

Please explain to me what Urango, Paulie, Holt, Maidana (infact you think Maidana is clearly better than Kotelnik, yet he lost to him), Ngoudjo have all done that dwarthes anything that Kotelnik has ever achieved.
