It's a case of two things.

He's either;

Incredibly stupid.

Or

Trolling.

Both cases are a very sad tale of events.

exactly..........lets post footage example jack johnson.how is he a top heavyweight atg??look how he fights

harry greb

Paclan

They're not automatically NOT the best.

Find me a current heavyweight as Fast, as coordinated, and as sharp as Ali.

Find me a current 120-160 pounder that can jump around weight classes and beat the best like henry armstrong. (well pacquiao is an exception)

Find me a fighter that can fight competitively and beat the top contenders for half a century like Duran

I could go on forever, they're not called ATG's for no reason.

I agree. Look at these drunks stumbling around.

If a fighter 'clinched' like that today they would get so much stick its unreal and that is Mr Jeffries the Hercules that apparently would of beaten Lewis & Vitali Klitschko?

I tell you something, you'd never see Lewis or either brother get sparked clean out from a rabbit punch like that.
