    Truthfully, I don't mind these identifiers that much, they're easy to understand and if you trust the person using them they're great. I don't watch as many fights as most of you so I'm not as familiar with as many fighters so I find them helpful.

    Guess I think of the B side as a fighter who has no other way to make as much money as he would fighting a guy who does have other comparable options. Hagler-Leonard is a good example, Marvin was a dominant long time champion who had been active, but he was getting old and without any cash cows around, I don't there was any other way to make near half as much money as he did fighting Ray. Leonard on the other hand probably wouldn't have even taken the fight if he didn't get things his way. It's not always(if not even often!) a matter of who has earned what.

    Morales also made Pacquiao were winnings gloves in their first fight instead of Reyes.

    I thought Leonard conceded the ring size, gloves, money just so he could fight 12 rounds and not 15?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Nope. Leonard called all the shots including the 12 rounds. Hagler made more money in that fight then his entire career. Hagler thought it would be easy money after all the guy was an x-welter who had been retired for 3 years. How tough could it be?

    Precisely my point.
