      99% of people on this site thought he was ****e and would lose as soon as he stepped past domestic level, and he ended up beating the 9 year reigning lineal heavyweight champion

      if you have already way surpassed expectations you can't be "exposed"
      That's not true. Now people could easily overestimate him by his win over Wlad and then the reverse could happen, he could be the one who is heavily favored and lose to some guy that was expected to lose like he was in his last fight and that, plus his 86 punches landed for the entire fight in his "big win" which was more of a stinker than anything else, isn't going to work against the other top heavyweights.

      If a fighter wins a big fight, they can also lose a lessor fight, and if that happens, then people see them as exposed and start to question their big win. History is littered with guys who weren't supposed to win a big fight and did, and then were not expected to lose in a lessor fight, and lost. He belongs on the list as much as any of the other fighters on the list.

        For 2016, my prediction is Other will become the real TBE.
        Other vs TBA for undisputed tbe supremecy

          I have to know who they're gonna fight.

          I would say Kovalev, if he fights Ward. But I wouldn't call it exposed, just plain and simple two A+ fighters going at it and one guy has to lose. And i'm picking Kovalev to lose, but in no way will it be easy or any kind of "exposing".

          The safest guy there is the guy in the safest division in the list obviously, everyone knows who that is, I don't have to mention his name. But I think an upset can def happen though, just gotta observe more.

            I don't think anyone thinks he is elite. I like him and want to see him keep winning, but he is not elite. He is a good fighter though.

              In 2015 it was Yusaf Mack that was exposed, 2016 I think it will be Wilder if he ever faces someone good.

                Might as well include Broner and Pacquiao. What you think?

                  Canelo has fought the best available the list includes boxers who haven't been tested vs the best available or equal lvl. Except Danny Garcia he beat Khan and Matthyse he should be cut off the list.
