Fighters making top opponents look ordinary.

[deathofaclown]

Tyson - Spinks is the one that comes to mind more than others.

Some of these listed are good choices but some were still fairly competitive, but this fight was something else. He made Spinks look like a bum, as if Tyson was moving up the ranks and he was brought in as cannon fodder, like a Wilder opponent, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Floyd vs everyone he's faced since 2009

Floyd lost that first fight to Maidana (it was close).

Every fighter who has fought Broner since Maidana has made him look ordinary... Even when he won.

And, Devon made Maidana look ordinary

Tehe 2 greatest examples of this are the Klitschko brothers.

In the heftiest (by weight+height), highest quality (by participation+records) and most athletically+skill refined (by virtue of being the latest) era of HW's in history, they have taken the best of the best and completely dominated them like never before in the history of boxing.

Of course Pac and to some extent Mayweather also have achieved some similar style of success at lower weights, albeit with far more debatable struggles, but given their opponents are roughly the same size, it's similarly impressive.

One can point to other fighters from the past of course but those were all bum opponents mostly.
