There are a lot of good fighters right now but the question is where would some of the ATG's and present fighters be If they were waiting for the opponents we want to see them fight start to fade?
What If Muhammad Ali made Joe Frazier wait til the late 70's or 80's for that fight to finally happen, what If he asked opponents to wear certain more padded gloves and what would people think If he avoided some of the best names on his resume like Ken Norton, Shavers, Foreman and so on just because Ali thought they didn't do enough to 'earn' it?
Would Ali have had the right to honestly call himself the greatest of all time?
Where would some certain current fighters be right now If they took that Floyd approach of carefully waiting it out with their opponents to have a bad turn of form before they decided to face them, I personally think Wladimir would be unbeaten if he had the same mentality of a Floyd Mayweather cherry picker, he'd have known to not fight entertaining at all in his early days and instead adopt the clinch and forearm technique from the get go that and obviously avoiding guys left right and center.
To be honest when you look at it like this a lot of good guys from the past could have easily maintained their 0.
