It's a disease which has spread into boxing fans started by new generation Mayweather fanboys who think Mayweather's '0' is what it's all about.

A poster will argue the primary reason a boxer is undefeated is because they "haven't fought anyone." and they criticize an undefeated fighter's resume etcetc. We know which fighters get this the most. SHould that boxer lose, that boxer is now "garbage" or "trash" or they "robbed" their opponent. SO in certain cases being undefeated means nothing.
But this same poster will also use an undefeated record as a measure of greatness to elevate an opponent of their favorite guy when it suits the agenda. In this case the undefeated record is everything and no longer a measure of quality of competition.
of course some posters do just the opposite. Their guy is undefeated its a measure of greatness. A boxer they aren't to fond of can be undefeated and its -hey he only fights this kind of guy or he hasn't fought anyone.
Its really confusing sometimes.

Khan is a horrible example bro. An elite fighter cannot keep getting sparked like Khan has. Devon Alexander is a far better example. His loss & the fights we thought are losses have made him better. But in Khan's case, he thinks he's God's gift, but his flaws & the mistakes he makes are almost laughable.

With Khan, its because the problems he has are problems that are very hard to correct or hide.
Overall, its Mayweather bullsh** "I got mah zero" syndrome, as others have said. Yes, I realize Broner said that, but its a fitting way to put it, by a fighter who may end up following Mayweather's lead.
