The most mediocre world champion of the last ten years...

[ono]

i dunno about Ouma, he was a decent fighter and gave Taylor fits

but the rest are about right, funny though you make the thread trying to say that Kotelnik wasn't complete garbage, but who'd he win the title from? ohh right the shit that is Reese, Kotelnik's biggest win was a gift decision against Maidana

oh and Fana (spelling) and Raheem deserve to be on that list

Gift decision? Close fight maybe, gift decision - hell no.

Kotelnik had a similar fight (altho boring) against Junior Witter, which Witter got the nod in. Both fights that could have gone either way.

The thing with Kotelnik is, that technically speaking he is very sound. His main problem is his work-rate. Khan's win over him, for me, was good because he practically boxed his head off.

i had Maidana winning 116-112, not that close

and beating Witter doesn't really say much, and dropping a decision to him says even less, i've said it time, and time again Junior Witter is garbage, hell you could go ahead and add him to your list of mediocre champions

It was close. The fact that you had Maidana winning and the 2 judges had Kotelnik winning suggests it was close. Boxing News (imo the most reliable source for fight coverage) had it a draw i think.

If your result against Witter counts for a lot, then Tim Bradley's up there aswell.
