      An undefeated American for ten years now will automatically place him in the Top Ten all-time, and you know this.

        Hell to the yeah. Beating Kessler will only cement his claim to the Hall of Fame.

          Hopkins didn't lose a fight for around 12 years and you wont find many people, if any, who put him in top 10 fighters of all time.

          Zag suffers from a serious lack of competition on his resume. He'll probably get in. If he beats Kessler and goes on for a couple of more years and has at least 1 more big fight then he's a shoe in for sure.

              You said undefeated for 10 years, as I interpreted as not losing a fight for a span of 10 years. Even with that being said... losing your first pro bout and a close fight to RJJ aren't meaningful losses, if there are such things.

                Undefeated is undefeated. And you know how the Americans are crazy about undefeated records.

                    We Americans? THat's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Anytime a fighter is undefeated for a long period of time they're talked about one way or another. Hatton, Ottke, mother ****ing Valuev, etc...
