    I still don't see what you think Rigo has achieved. But, it's a moot point.
    If I viewed them as gods, how would that be me thinking that they've underachieved?

    Rigo clowned the best fighter in his division, who was the fighter of the year at that current time, was P4P one of the best in the world, was a guy who was atleast 1-2 divisions bigger then him and all this in like his 12th fight. He hit the celiling really fast and now there's no one for him to fight that's willing to fight him. He's unbeatable in his division where he's outsized, is that not an accomplishment?

Yes I agree he should be in the top 3 all time, the post you quoted did have me saying he's the greatest heavyweight ever on my list but I feel like that gap between him and the second best guy could have been even further had he not lost his licence.
      fair enough homie

          I agree with this. Tyson had a great chin. It was usually is fitness that let him down, and of course, his mentality.

                  British fighters I would say Kell Brook and Tyson Fury.

                    Eubank Jr seems to be heading that way.

                    He's a good fighter that should be taking on better fights.

                      Paulie Spadafora, had so much potential.
