    Do these fighters get credits for beating the greats in their last fight?

    Does Camacho get credit for beating Sugar Ray Leonard?

    Does Roy Jones get credit for beating Felix Trinidad?

    Does Manny Pacquiao get credit for beating Oscar De La Hoya? ( at ridiculous 142lb)

    I say no to all of these? It was the last fight of their careers and they were no where near prime, especially at a CATCHWEIGHT.
    The pay day was good,so good for them but no credit.

    Got anymore that get no credit?

      No, they get credit for winning, but it's not some great win on the resume

      Srl-hagler, hatton-tszyu are 2 fights I give credit for beating a guy in his last fight..

        Does Trinidad get credit for beating Whitaker?

        Does Cotto get credit for beating Martinez? Specially at a CATCHWEIGHT.

        Garcia get credit for beating Morales?

            These are showcase fights parading the new talent by feeding the old legend to them.

            Hardcore boxing people know the deal but casual viewers will buy the idea of it being a historical upset.

            EDIT: Cotto vs Martinez shouldn't be an example of this. Martinez wasn't just washed up, he was injured/disabled. That wasn't even a showcase it was a sham.

              Interesting when a "hardcore fan " doesn't even realize what a LAST fight means.

              Must be ADD.

              And are we sure that Martinez will never fight again. Because if you can see the future then you obviously know your going no where.

                  No a million times. However if a fighter somehow beats BHOP of today ,you would then have to give that fighter credit ..IMO.
