    He shouldn't go in the ring with anybody his own size who is half decent as he'll just lose again. His entire career has been based on getting down to 160, at least occasionally with diuretics, then putting on a quarter of his bodyweight overnight and then bullying smaller handpicked fighters.

    He can probably get down to 168 and be carefully brought back and maybe even get gifted a vacant belt if he's still selling tickets and the networks still want to show him, but the next time he comes up against anybody at world level at 168 or above he's going to get beat again.

    The fight on Saturday wasn't as enjoyable as Maidana beating Broner but it was something I've been looking forward to for years.

    A very good description of what has frankly always been an extremely pathetic career.

    At least I feel spared in the future he is not an undisciplined champ who is on 24/7 eating a bowl of fruit loops in his underwear. We should be thankful that Fonfara closed the books on that phony's lack of class and limited abilities.
