    How did I forget these guys?


    Bernard Hopkins - what he's doing with is age is really good but he's a great opportunist. Part of the reason he is fighting at his age is cause he is really good at cherry picking and the time frame in between each fights. Not like the older days where they fight at a faster pace in between. On top of that, there isn't really anyone that good he fights. Just products of hype by media/networks.


    Jake LaMotta - Ok he beat Robinson, but outside of that, there's not many special things with this dude in my opinion. Extra hype comes from a good movie with a great actor.

      Ali, because he's not the GOAT, but the general pop believes he is due to clever self-promotion
      There are not TOO many HW's as skilled as Mike Tyson was though!

      I mean come on, let's try to find some that were more skilled? Can't be many.

      I would say that only former CW's who've stepped up have maybe a better skillset.

      Almost certainly no natural heavies have better.
