I would agree that Lewis, Whitaker and Charles are overrated. Especially Charles. I still think that they're all great fighters though.

Originally posted by wmute View PostYes and no. Meaning, I agree with you that Robinson pulled many stunts, but he fought so often that (most) fights eventually happened. And in multiple series (so rematches also happened and happened timely). Plus I don't recall reading about him negotiating many catch weights or specific in-fight conditions (but this might just be my ignorance).

ward, whitaker, charles and mayweather stick out the most from that crazy list.

Given that my preface is self-explanatory, I'm indifferent to whether I'm understood or not. If you fail to understand, that's not my problem. More importantly, that's my reluctant contribution to this "unpopular opinion" thread, which I intend to escape without interrogation or psycho-analysis.

Ali is not even a top 7 HW all-time.
Hagler won 8 rounds vs Sugar Ray.
Rios beat Abril 7 rounds to 5.
Joe Louis is bet HW of all-time followed by: Marciano, Lewis,Dempsey and Vladamir KO.
Tyson lost to every good HW that he ever fought and ducked anyone who could punch or take a punch.
Pernell Whitaker and Richard Abril hit like biatches and never sit down on their punches,shoulder slappers.
The HW Division is back in full bloom,right now.
Matthyse should be undefeated.
There is no such thing as a bad jaw in the UK,just an "English Chin"
GBP will be begging for HBO dates within 2 years.
Hagler and Sergio are #! and #2 MW of all-time. Monzon is close 3rd.

Out of interest who are the Heavys u rate over Ali? (other than the 5 listed)
Other than that the next one that stands out for me is that the HW division is in full bloom today...... Cant see how anyone can say that.
Dont really get the Bad jaw in the UK one, are u saying UK fighters (that includes Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland) have crap chins? If so Scott Harrison and Wayne McCulloch may have something to say about that among others...

No,the rest of the UK,Minus England, seem to produce strong chinned fighters. England with few exceptions seems to produce great looking fighters with tremendous skills (think Bruno,Khan, and Price) but with a lot of "English Chins "
The HW Div is in full bloom starting now when these up-and-comers all have to fight each other. There will be plenty of fireworks and we'll see that there are some really good HW...now.
