His record sucked?? He fought teak-tough Eric Holland in just his 4th fight, world-rated Anthony Logan in just his 12th fight, useful Hugo Corti (who knocked out legendary Hugo Corro and v.nearly had Pyatt out in the first round), Benn twice, Watson twice, future world champs (Malinga, Rocchi), former world champs (Lindell, Rocchi), heavy hitters Thornton 'n' Wharton, Euro champ Close, Collins, Calzaghe... and Thompson four weights higher than he fought Holland at... His record certainly didn't suck!
