      Floyd Patterson too small for Wlad. Who has said that?

        Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the equivalent of having one belt back then, unifying all the belts now?

          You must remember, the past goes back a long time... think how many boxers fought in the PAST, there are clearly going to be greats of the sport just from the numbers
          Fighters are equally overrated in the modern day... we remember the greats and that's how its always been.

            Sure some are but some are not. Just like fighters from now some are overrated some are not.

            I don't think nobody that is fighting right now can be the G.O.A.T either. I don't see anybody fighting right now surpassing SRR or Armstrong. Cuz they are not overrated at all.

                Like I've already said, earlier today.....

                Everybody knows that the athletes of yesteryear are physically and mentally inadequate when compared to their more modern counterparts.

                How do you think Money Maii got as good as he is? Money Maii is the result of millions of years of evolution, advances in the sciences of sports and physical fitness, and decades of research in the field of cryonics.

                  Well you would only have to beat one guy to be the true champ....now you may have to beat 4-5 really good fighters depending on how good the fighters in your division are.

                    I don't know who said Patterson beats Wlad. But, I would that Patterson is a better HW than any other HW fighting right now not named Klitschko. I don't think Wlas has beat anybody that is as good as Patterson either.
