He's been on the wrong end of several questionable decisions and in the eyes of the majority should have become the undisputed middleweight champion in 2006.
He put on a boxing clinic against Trinidad, beat Jermain Taylor only to be denied and certainly beat Ike Quartey more convincingly than Vernon Forrest did.
Yet because of a disappointing showing two divisions above his natural weight class against one of the most frustrating fighters in the world he's done and finished
He's still a legitimate threat at 160 and maybe 154 if he could get down there. I'd like to see him get the chance of a big fight and payday before he retires.
A fight with John Duddy would generate some cash and would be a fight I'd love to see. A win there and he could be back in the mix to call out Kelly Pavlik.
