Yea agree with you there. Although he does hold the distinction as only boxer ever to win a heavyweight title starting from middleweight. His skills pretty much got him there.
Don't go by me though. I'm a fucking noob at boxing. I'm getting more and more into it now for whatever reason. At first, I found boxing extremely boring with two guys just throwing punches at each other, but after the Marquez/Pacquiao IV fight, I've been getting into it more.
A Purse Bid was held in the IBF Office today for the IBF Jr. Welterweight Championship mandatory defense between Champion Lamont Peterson and Kendall Holt. The was only one bidder. Gary Shaw Productions won with a bid of $50,000. The fight must take place within 90 days.

David Price will box Tony Thompson at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on February 23rd ina 12 round international heavyweight contest. The two-time world title challenger represents the biggest professional test so far for the emerging British star. British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Price (15-0) has had a magnificent 2012 winning his titles and knocking out all four opponents. It is a return to the 8,000 capacity venue where Price beat Audley Harrison inside a round two months ago. Price, 29, is now ranked 9th in world by the WBC and rapidly closing in on the heavyweight divisions big guns, Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko. Southpaw Thompson (36-3) brings a wealth of experience and has knocked out 24 of his opponents. Two of his defeats came against Wladimir Klitschko in world titles challenges. Back in July 2008 he lost in 11 rounds and earlier this year was beaten in six.
Price’s promoter Frank Maloney: “This is the right fight at the right time for David and one where a win will propel him even higher. Thompson still has ambition and I am certain that he will come to win and score a major upset.” Thompson is ranked 10th in the IBF world rankings.
I agree with you there, they both need to stay away...

Yes your right about Lennox Lewis, he beat every challenger he fought including the ones he lost to.
Oh and it's good your getting into boxing, now if you want great boxing fights watch the first 2 pacquiao/marquez matches & Pacmans first fight with Morales. Excellent fights.

Once you retire from boxing you really should stay that way, unless there's a bonafide massive match that you have a chance in winning don't taint your legacy
