    sure he ducked him, but at that point in time, Bowe woulda beaten the pre Steward version of Lewis

    Wlad is an ATG HW

    Bradley is not a good boxer, he's just a tough guy

    Ring belt is now just another paper alphabet belt, it hardly represents lineage

    Margarito didn't do anything illegal vs Cotto, and him getting in a shitstorm before the Mosley fight is hardly "proof" that he did

    Andre Ward is an entertaining fighter

    Roy losing a buncha times as a shot fighter does absolutely nothing to tarnish his legacy

    there's nothing wrong with Gatti being in the HOF solely for having been very exciting to watch

      Canelo's ATG Snake is the reason for his stamina issues and overall lack of speed. If his Snake was floyd's length the fight would have been much closer.

        P4P Mayweather is better than Sugar Ray Leonard.

          2003-2004 heavyweight James Toney wouldn't have won a single round against either Klitschko.

            Daniel Geale clearly beat Darren Barker.

            GBP never had future plans for Maidana. He is always used to hype other boxers. He was suposed to loose against Ortiz, Morales, Soto Karass and Lopez. You can actually see Oscar mad on his seat when they get KO. Same thing against Alexander (who signed with GBP before the fight). If it wasn't Chino his mandatory, GBP would have never made the Khan fight. They also tried to hype Matthysse and Thurman with Chino.

            Hagler was getting his ass beat against Martillo Roldan until he thumbed his eye.

              Chavez/Taylor was the worst decision ever in boxing. Ruined that man's life.

              Chavez quit in the second fight against Frankie Randall because he was on his way to losing again. Yeah Dr stopped it but you could tell by his body language he didn't want to continue. Yet no one ever calls him a quitter.

              Whitaker was robbed against Chavez and to a lesser degree against De la Hoya.

              De la Hoya is sooooooo overrated. Never beat anyone he wasn't supposed to beat.

              Hopkins had no business losing to Jermaine Taylor or Calzaghe.

                Fighters of color are written off as "not that good to begin with" once they lose to a white fighter. OR if not written off, people will make all the excuses in the world as to why the fighter of color lost.

                  If RJJ had retired after he beat Ruiz he would be considered a top 5 ATG.

                    GGG will lose when he steps up in class.

                    Broner's gonna put a clinic on Maidana.

                    Kahn definitely loses but does actually give Mayweather more trouble than he's had for years.

                    Guillermo Rigondeaux is one of the best fighters technically, ever to have laced them up.

                      Angulo punched himself out against Kirkland.
