    WEST PALM BEACH, FL-The paying consumer deserves to get their money’s worth. Give us warriors, men who persevere through adversity, throwback pugilists with brazen hearts equipped for battle. Richard “The Destroyerâ€￾ Hall meets those criteria. In a lackluster division void of entertaining stars, Hall looks to shake up the light heavyweights with his balls-out wanton and fan-friendly banging style. That is, if the opposition is up to the challenge.

    In his prime I woulda probably picked him over someone like Julio Gonzalez, or Clinton Woods.

    They both would have beaten him.

    Despite woods getting taken out quicker, Hall looked even more pathetic against RJ.

    Gonzalez is not that bad. He is a decent fighter.

    With all due respect, you seem to miss the point behind the phrase "top 10 contender".

    In his prime, he WAS a top 10 contender. That. by no means says he was as good as the best in the division... but was he close to the best? Of COURSE...

    The proof is in the pudding. He went tooth and nail with the (assumed) second best in the division and had a chance to beat him (darius). That SHOWS he was top 10. Not the best, but right there with the 10 best...
