there was a thread about how many were mandated and how many were just top 10 contenders that he fought.

i think it was 3 or 4 that were mandatory both veit fights were and bika was IBF mandatory

If Calzaghe had of fought Freeman Barr who was his mandatory for a couple of years then he would definitely be near to the top of this list. Had a really hard night against a blown up Ojay Abrahams right before he was stopped in 1 by Carl Froch in one of his first fights.

Ray Austin was mandatory to Wladimir and didn't throw a punch, he's the worst I've seen

[Gazmac81]

Frank Maloney commented that Harrisson Won that at the Press conference
says the African guy was shitting himself

Also im sure it was mentioned that Harrrison was Smelling of Booze at the Presser

The African guy that Scott Harrison stopped in about 30 seconds. I think Harrison swung, missed and knocked him out with the wind from his punch.

Felt sorry for Salita. Warmed to him in the build up, he seemed to geniunely believe the was destined to win this one and must be absolutely devastated him. He was gone from that first right hand.

The missus wants to adopt him, keeps saying, "Aw, you have to feel sorry for him!", everytime I've watched it, which is not exactly the kind of thing you should be saying about a pro boxer.

I'm sure he will be one of those guys who dedicates himself to something else and comes good, he jsut isn't going to reach the top in this sport, shame really.

You should adopt......then we can use the phrase "beaten like a ginger stepchild" whilst talking about this bout in the future.
