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

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.
