of course they won't affect his achievements. but you need to understand the difference between legacy and achievements, and in the original post you replied to, Earl specifically said 'legacy' and not 'achievements'
if ali retired after Frazier III he would be greater
so by your logic, we shouldn't judge Hopkins' greatness now? since obviously he is way past his prime? you can't say that Hopkins' is allowed to enhance his legacy, while Jones Jr's legacy remains untouched. blatant fallacy if you do. like i said before, i just think there's a simple misunderstanding on your part between the difference of 'legacy' and 'achievement' (they are not the same)

I've made my point.

I've made my point.

Like everyone else, I've been calling for Roy to retire for years now. If this happens though, especially in Belfast, I'd definitely go. It'd be a boring ass fight but to say I've seen an ATG in the flesh would be too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Roy is probably getting knocked out if this ever happens. Though I like his chances at heavyweight then lower when people have more speed to catch him.
