Ricky Burns - after the Katisidis, Moses an Mitchell fights I was something of a believer. I gave him a pass on Gonzales performance due to styles but he was poor against Beltran and should've retired. It's only gone downhill from there.
Saul Alvarez - close to the fight I didn't think he would beat Mayweather unless he took him out early but his performance was execrable. Compare his losing performance with Matthysse's effort with injury in the previous fight. In that fight Canelo didn't look willing to take a shot to land one and that was disappointing, un-Mexican.
To be fair, he improved his pressure game v Lara but is still very much a developing fighter.
