Too bad he's a damn CHEAT, doe.

Big asterisk in his record once everything has been said and done. I know everyone involved are keeping quiet hoping it would just silently go away.

[Larry the boss]

what????

i say racist jokes all the time.

You come off as an American sounding Asian who is cool with all races. I bet you probably sound like Nonito Donaire.

I understand that one fighter was more active, and that usually means facing some subpar competition. That's true but Floyd (2 years) still beat out Chavez (4 1/2 yrs) in terms of time to win first title, regardless of activity.

I didn't bring up how long they've been boxing. I brought up age. And Floyd was a couple months shy of 22 when he won his first belt & Julio Sr was a couple months into his 22nd year when he won his. I think age is a more honest assessment of a point in ones carer than the # of bouts they've had is my point. I would say years active is a better assessment of that then # of bouts to, but I still feel like age is the best.

well isnt it amazing then out of 5 divisions he was lineal in 4? still would make him a 4 divisions champion

In this age of super and junior titles that didn't exist before. different eras. Plus back then guys fought more. A more reasonable argument is how many HOFers did each guy fight and importantly when did they fight them.

Sugar Ray Robinson, Leonard, Pep, Ali, etc blow away the competition if you rate it this way.

/thread.



Even fought a HW.

****Heavyweights* (plural)

[Johnny2x2x]

ali, robinson, leonard, armstrong, duran

Ali and Duran aren't in my top 5, but Joe Louis is.

1. SRR
2. Armstrong
3. Louis
4. SRL (tie)
4. Mayweather

Those guys resumes could be condensed into 30 quality fights , each had only 2-4 real elite guys on their resume , geez Robinson fought and beat over 100 cans some had 25 loses on their resumes , dont get all caught up in the numbers break down the opponents and the opponents form leading into the fight , its like the old racehorses raced every couple of weeks , not today the competition is too hard .

Like Louis and his well documented bum a month run , you cannot fight the best guys every mth , against the very best competition 4 times a year maximum , then there must be soft touches in amongst it or lengthy spells .
