For sure, I'm glad to be talking with one sane poster here. Edwards is the champ, my thing is, if people are going to shit on Colby for not doing much, when he won the ground control, then Leon deserves some criticism as well for barely averaging an additional 2.5 strikes, per round. The onus isn't all on Colby. Leon can take criticism too.I completely get what you are saying and we are really just splitting hairs here but I'm enjoying the discussion killing time on a Sunday. For Edwards, he is the champ, it doesn't matter if it is by an inch or a mile his goal is to get the win, stay champion to continue enjoying all the benefits that title brings, and enjoy the big paycheck he will get for the fight that Colby did most of the work to build for him.
Edwards had two title defenses this year that certainly paid him much more than Colby has ever gotten with likely a lot less work, stress, hospital visits and court cases Colby had. I agree Colby is not completely done as a fighter but I think his chances of being champion are. I very well could be wrong because as you said Shavkat/and that other guy you mentioned who's name escapes me really can't headline a PPV. I think Colby would have some very big fights down at LW with guys that seem to be closer to his size and would engage him in some crazy promotion.
Yes Edwards reaps the benefits. Agreed. I don't think Colby is 100% out, it's way too early to tell. If he loses his next one, then any WW title aspirations is done, for sure. But if he beats Wonderguy, which I think he can, then he is literally right back in it, much to the dismay of everyone here. I also wouldn't mind seeing Colby fight some LWs, that would be fun to. He is at a crossroads, but it is not bad as people think.
