Darchinyan vs. Mijares. Will Vic Gore the Matador? Official Poll!!!

[Kev]

So does anyone still think Mijares is p4p?

I seem to remember ICB saying his reign would last for years and he couldn't see him being defeated by anyone at flyweight or superflyweight.

I thought he was supposed to be the new superstar of boxing?

I guess wins over Arce and Munoz are not as impressive as beating guys like Hopkins and Kessler after all.

In the light of young pretenders like Mijares and Pavlik being completely exposed I think it highlights what a great fighter Joe Calzahge is and worthy of his p4p status. He certainly doesn't get KO'd or suffer embarrassing losses like this....

I never understood why so many people thought Mijares was so great. He never looked anything special to me.

Maybe it only takes a few respected guys to champion a unheralded fighter for a certain number of people to jump on the bandwagon.. it was like - if you didn't think Mirjares was P4P you didn't know boxing

It was a weird one. I mean he's beaten nobody in world terms, Arce and Munoz are hardly p4p stars and then gets completely and utterly beaten down by Darchinyan, himself an awkward but very crude opponent.

If Calzaghe was a flyweight he'd put a beatdown on Darchinyan like he did to Lacy.

Mijares reign has ended in humiliation. I mean he wasn't just knocked out by the big puncher, he was completely outboxed as well.

I think he'll be plummetting back down to the rank of also ran now.

Maybe Carlos Baldomir can give him a job mopping out the toilets.

I picked Darchinyan to win (prediction comp, sports book ).. but i didn't expect him to totally OUTCLASS a supposed P4P great fighter.

I think many fans don't realise the difference between good and great. Don't realise how hard it is to remain unbeaten.

Until the other week certain guys thought Kelly Pavlik was destined for greatness too.

Graham (Houston , we have no problem) really did a great call going against the tide...
