Give me a break. He fought albeit not his fault in the weakest hev division in the history of the sport. He's the definition of a product of his environment. Get real people. He's Holmes with less to choose from and two of them over the hill almost kicked his head in. And Lastarza 1 give me a break.

He never wrecked anything off paper.
He did everything he could have done. That is what we know. Everything else is guesswork.
Never said anything otherwise but with that, he does not match up in the least with Ali. Langford has a better shot and he was 5'6.
