More disappointing this year: Laraque or Parros?

Bgl didnt have a bad year by any means but he wasn't very active and he seemed a little off by his usual standards. Parros on the other hand was very active, but he had no real big wins or losses, mostly meaningless draws and some losses to guys he should beat, Hordi, Stortini. Thoughts?

Laraque's season was expected, not much fights and not much excitment. I don't think anyone was expecting BGL to have more then a dozen fights. He still had a solid record, lossed a fight but he wasn't dominated or anything.

Both were poor this year, with Laraque starting off slowly but as the season went on he became more impressive in his fights.. Parros was where I thought he would be, win some lose some and never really much excitement to talk about when he fights.

Why did you just pick 2 fighters to discuss from? Why not just say who were you most disappointed with as a fighter this season?

Parros had nearly 3x as many fights. He also contributes to his team and had far more exciting fights than Laraque.

By far Parros with 23 fights.

Everyone expected Laraque's fighting majors to decrease. Parros on the other kept up his usual high number of fm's, but with losses to Darcy Hordichuk, Matt Walker, and two embarrassing losses to the huggy bear Zack Stortini gets him a more disappointing season.

for a big guy Parros can fight and has a pretty decient card, but what makes him look bad is that he almost has more draws than wins. If he had won those fights instead of getting the draw, this would be a different story

Are you concussed? BGL cuz he ran his mouth, fought infrequantly(don't say people feared him)and did little to move up or down. So much ability,so few results. Parros does what is expected of him and leaves nothing at the door,gives everything he has. Gets more results out of less.

That depends on how you look at it. With the Thornton fight, less than 50% or half thought he won. Which means more people thought Thornton didn't win than did. You could pretty safely call that a voted draw.
