For example, when threads pop up about GGG's resume you point out Sergio, Cotto and Canelo all refused to fight him. That is accurate and fair. Why not do the same here?
Why not be accurate and fair and point out the fact that Manny, shane and ODH all refused to fight Floyd when they were prime?

In regards to) Diego Corrales – Corrales was undefeated with a high KO ratio, but he never beat ONE elite fighter in his entire career. Somehow, people think that because the pound for pound rankings listed him highly, he was a dangerous and great opponent. That is far from the truth. The rankings at the time were ridiculously inaccurate. Corrales was listed right behind Roy Jones, and ahead of Bernard Hopkins and Lennox Lewis. I’m sorry, but I don’t see how beating the likes of Robert Garcia, Juuko, and Manfredy can make you better than Bernard Hopkins and Lennox Lewis. An undefeated record with a high KO ratio in a weak division. Instead of being blind sheep believing everything the flawed ranking system says, it is easy to see that Corrales was a hype job when putting his career in context. He NEVER beat one elite fighter. He lost to Casamayor, and only beat him with a controversial decision. He was KOd by Jose Luis Castillo in a mere 4 rounds. A journeyman in Joshua Clottey easily outboxed him. If he was as good as people falsely make him out to be, he wouldn’t fail so often.Last edited by 1g5a22; 06-08-2016, 09:52 AM.

so you mean to tell me Castillo wasnt elite? 2 time lightweight champion and either 1-3 at the weight for 5 years
Freitas wasnt elite?
casamayor wasnt elite?
all these dudes were the best in a deep era at 130-135
lay off the crack
were you even watching boxing then?
