    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.

    Evidently, here's a phrase that doesn't sound so appealing:

    difference is Bradley's beaten Holt, and was schooling Campbell until the headbutt

    doesn't really count, but if Matthew Hatton captured the IBO (which he didn't, thankfully) he would go straight on my list.

    So far Kelly Pavlik is a pretty mediocre world champion.

    Beating Taylor twice isn't what I call mediocre.. but I guess after that his two wins have came from poor opposition.

    Yes he is a pretty crappy champion and besides beating Taylor the 1st time he fought him in a non title bout at 166 so as far as reigns go he sucks.

    I think Bradley is quality and off a nice run over last 4 and yet again going in against top challenger in Peterson next.Premature ending vs Campbell but you could see adjustments.Problem is he has all the charisma and big fan appeal of plain dry toast and bares a slight resemblance to Bushwick Bill.

    I think that Markus Beyer with all these dubious decisions in Germany and the cherrypicked opponents by good old Wise Sauerland have to be sitting somewhere among them all.
