Yes, records are not without meaning. The names and dates on them are of maximum interest and poignancy. After the win loss column, they are the most important part of a record's importance. What else would be after all?Originally posted by Karluk View Post
He has 0 losses, so that indicates a positive side))
It works something like this: does the guy have a bunch of big name opponents on his record that everybody should already know were shot, or half-shot, or at least well past their best days?
It's a common trick boxers use to inflate legacy without much effort, maybe even while avoiding more deserving challengers. Fans resent that if they think they perceive it. It even affects their evaluation of his entire legacy, which actually, it should. They think they perceived some of that.
Most people only look at the win/loss column of a record. The thing they look at the least are birth dates vs fight dates. The results in the opponent's last five fights is what matters. But they are not in A's record, you have to go to B's record to get them.

Well in Floyd’s case these so called “names” were all ranked in the Top 3 of the divison minimum, most of which were ranked #1 in the division and/or in the Top 10 P4P list when the fights took place.Originally posted by Mr Mitts View Post

I think the location of the fights is relevant also. Notice how most of these American 'defensive wizards' are fighting most of their fights in the US. It's one of the reasons I give Haney less of a hard time than some because he was at least prepared to go overseas for one of his biggest fights.Originally posted by Mr Mitts View Post
