Greatest Heavyweights of The Past 20 Years

[Bundana]

seems your feelings have been hurt..and the only boxing fans i have came across who get so upset are Lennox Lewis fanboys... i am interested to know whats in your 20000+ fight collection is it all mainsteam rubbish or are there any little gems in there you could tell us about

Seems like you have no sense of humour!

Would Purrity be able to take Lennox Lewis to a split decision?

I think not , but he stood a better chance at stopping Lewis , now you tell me what is better

[frankenfrank]

Purrity has only 10 wins over fighter's with a winning record the other 21 come against fighter's with a losing record hardly a brutal schedule.

How can he be avoided when he fought and lost to everyone good such as Chambers, Dimitrenko, Vitali, Byrd, Donald, Sanders, Grant, Rahman and lost to no namers like Atilla Levin, Timo Hoffman, Eliser Castillo, Brian Nielson, Will Hinton, King Ipitan, Derek Isaman, John Sargent, Cleveland Woods and Alexander Miroshnichenko? He lost alot because he was not that good, good fighter's have more than 1 good win which Purrity does not have.

I already said I don't think Mercer is top ten material but the notion that Ross Purrity is better than the olympic gold medalist is pretty laughable.
Mercer beat Morrison and Witherspoon and more importantly didn't lose almost every fight he had against opponents who at least won the majority of their fights.

Mercer beat plenty of journeymen without too much trouble while Purrity lost to almost every journeyman he ever fought. Why are you harping on Mercer's loss to Ferguson when Purrity has about 10 or so losses that are either comparable or worse.

Care to explain how the tenth best heavyweight of the last 20 years lost to;

Atilla Levin, Timo Hoffman, Eliser Castillo, Brian Nielson, Will Hinton, King Ipitan, Derek Isaman, John Sargent, Cleveland Woods and Alexander Miroshnichenko

Couldn't beat any of the big namers such as;

Chambers, Dimitrenko, Vitali, Byrd, Donald, Sanders, Grant, Rahman

And how the majority of his wins come against either bums or guys with no pro record(20 of 31 wins against either fighters with no pro record or a losing record)?

I'm not going to lie Mercer wasn't that great but at least he managed to beat the journeymen put infront of him and not gobble up all his wins off bums that guys at my gym could light up like the fourth of July.

(1) Puritty's percentage of good opposition is one of the highest percentages of the last 20 years.
(2)
(2.1) Purittys losses were mostly decision losses , (2.2)in fights of 10 rounds and shorter , so he did not have the opportunity to wear his opponents down.
(2.3) The minority of Puritty's losses , the stoppage losses were all on cuts
except , maybe , his first loss which I will be glad to learn about or better ,
get a video of.
(3) Puritty actually beat Morrisson , as he knocked him down twice in two separate rounds but still got a mere draw.
(4) Puritty also KO'd Joe Hipp , and it was not due to excessive swelling around Hipp's eyes like in most Hipp's losses , it was a KO , actually Hipp's sole KO loss in his entire career before and after the fight , and as I know you are going to dis Hipp too , Hipp more than avenged his first loss , and also stopped Joey Christjohn who outpointed McCall and KO'd Cleveland Woods who was the first to stop Puritty.
Hipp's outcome against Morrisson could have just as well be a stoppage win in favour of Hipp if he only was labeled as the prospect and Morrisson was labeled the journeymen . But you will diss them all anyway , so what difference does it make ?
Fact is Puritty achieved more than Mercer .
Neither Mercer nor Morrisson nor many others fought the amount of young prospect whom will almost every time get the decision over a journeyman.
Give me a better option than Puritty , or better : post your list.
It really takes a genius to diss other men's list without posting their own list.

Practically anyone with a pulse (and quite a few without one) is better than Ross "****ing" Purrity.
