    I mean it was a good fight but it still doesn't change the fact that the division is absolute trash.

      Foreman vs. Frazier 1, total bum fight between two brawlers.
      • Frazier a midget with no chin (6 flash knockdowns in 2rounds, where he got up each time) & no right hand, mainly throws lead left hooks LMAO. Bounces straight up and down with his head, hardly any side-to-side head movement and is thus a sucker for an uppercut. Didn't anyone ever teach Frazier to box? Where do they get these guys? This guy sucks.
      • Foreman cheating by repeatedly pushing Frazier with 2 hands whenever Joe got close, and the 4th knockdown was blatantly to the back of the head. Foreman with no quality power, can knock a weak-chinned guy down 6 times but has to rely on the ref to stop it because he can't get that guy out of there on his own. Foreman also got hit repeatedly with a lead left hook of all things, LMAO.
      • The '70s surely were a weak era if those 2 are considered greats from it. Frazier also beat Ali, which shows what a hype-job Ali was.
      Exactly! People always love to criticize and nit-pick current fighters and pretend fighters from the past were flawless.
      When I go watch guys like the ones you mentioned, Frazier and Foreman, they definitely didn't look like these perfect fighters people seem to think.
      That includes Ali and all those Heavyweights in the 70s and 90s which are considered the Gold Standard in Heavyweight boxing.

      Also, if you look at the ranking from those eras they weren't that great either. I don't know why people think those eras were just flooded with talent. You'll hear things like so and so, insert bum fighter from the 70s and 90s, would dominate the current Heavyweight division. Like give me a break. Some of those guys were getting beat by much lesser talent than some of the top Heavyweights of today.
      All you need to do is look at the top 10 rankings of the Heavyweight divisions in the past.

        Yes, I didn't tune in for the undercards. Until a lower ranked heavyweight proves themselves in the ring I don't pay attention to them. Even if Usyk and Ruiz didn't win titles I would still follow them closely. You really have it in for this Sanchez. Is it something personal?

          Heavyweights that stink out the joint get no sympathy from me. It's a fight, so that's what I expect.
