Bilbo Cazares is better than the old Verno Phillips that Williams fought. I'm a bit of a Verno fan but I don't even find that to be an arguable point.

I do admire the sort of sense of authority you have when discussing these fighters that for the most part you've never seen.
It's frustrating because what I say is self evidently true.

Do a boxrec look at the mimimum weight and flyweight divisons. Then compare the number of pro fighters at straweight with the number of pro fighters at a real weight like welter.

Hold on I'll do it for you.......

1412 welterweights according to boxrec

278 minimum weight

No I'm no mathematician, but to me the far greater amount of pro's at welterweight would indicate to me the stasticial likelihood of there being many more better fighters at welterweight than minimum weight.

It's simple maths.

The reason you always get these 13-3 guys fighting for world titles is because there is no competition, and the reason the world champs often struggle with them is generally because 'THEY ARE SHIT!!'.

It's like womans boxings. You only need to win 3 straight fights and you're a world champ. It doesn't mean the person you beat to win the title was great, it's just that was they were the only other people competing.

In a p4p matchup Cazares gets destroyed by Phillips, Williams, Winky, Quintana, and even gets schooled by Mallignaggi.

He's not very good, but is a world champ because there are only like 20 people to fight in his weight class.

If you disagree with me, then explain MATHEMATICALLY how it can be possible to have greater competition with less than 20 percent of the competitors?

It's stasticially impossible.


Have you ever seen him fight? Seriously?

The fact that you can develop such righteous indignation about the perceived overrating of fighters YOU'VE NEVER SEEN is absolutely incomprehensible and bizarre but yet still enjoyable.

You take one reasonable point, less fighters means less competition and proceed to fighter A WHO YOU'VE NEVER SEEN would obviously get schooled by fighters B, C, D, and E because there are more fighters at welterweight.

I was going to go on but I realized you've just been winding me up. Well done.
Actually I've seen Cazares fight 3 times. Twice against Calderon, where he looked like Valuev-lite and once against Roberto Vasquez where he looked shit to me too. I guess Vasquez was a world class fighter too right, who just happend to be KO'd by another great in Drian Francisco last time out?

Seriously they are all shit pretty much down there which is why nobody can string more than two or three wins together once they reach the top.

And I'm certain that p4p Cazares would not even get as far as a title shot in any weight class above featherweight, except for maybe havyweight
