You dont think he should of had the confidence to tell Teddy "I can beat Wlad"

They've only just hooked up, Alexander needs to time to get use to Teddy's style and there is also the culture clash. Facing Wladimir when the partnership is still fresh would be risky.

If you want to be great you take risks instead of waiting for the risk to either retire or get to old. Did Manny take a risk fighting Ledwaba?

Pretty good answer.

Ledwaba isn't a 6'6 athletic freak of nature bound for Canastota, huge difference there.

No but at the time Lehlo was thought to be, and being positioned by HBO as, the next big thing. He had taken out the very good Argentine Eduardo Alvarez. Everyone thought Manny was a sacrificial lamb.

Not fair to include Bute on this list; at least not yet. GYM and Interbox wouldn't make the Pascal fight; you can't put that all on Bute. Now, if he doesn't step up the competiton after he beats Brinkley then maybe he belongs.

Bute will have his chance to prove himself further real soon. The super six is falling apart. I expect his next opponent after he crushes Brinkley to be a top 10 168 lber. If he doesn't, than he's a ducker
