Sam Peter was a decent comebacking opponent, JC Gomez was really a sparring partner given a title shot, Arreola a guy with a lot of buzz but basically a fat slob whose best win was over Jameel McCline, Kevin Johnson was a prospect who should have been nowhere near a title shot & Albert Sosnowski was favoured to be flattened by Audley which says it all. Vitali has become a joke to me, only Peter & arguably Arreola are decent opponents on that list. I understand the Gomez fight, but Johnson & Sosnowski were completely unacceptable choices. If he actually fights Shannon Briggs then I will give up on this muthafukka.
Wlad has been unfairly maligned, but he has to me fought the best opposition he can even if he is behaving like a biitch trying to have Povetkin's title shot stripped because he didn't come to one measly press conference.
What with David Haye occasionally having to take a break from being a professional celeb to actually do some boxing, this division is remaining a joke when actually it should at least be getting a bit better than its current rep. Here's hoping for Adamek.
