    Name a Fighter who Fights a Solid Opponent Every Single Time Out

    Obviously Loma's opponent last night left something to be desired.

    However, how many fighters can you name where every fight on their resume is a real challenge to them at the time?

    I'm not even talking about first twenty bum fights to start a career either.

    I think they all take on fights against lesser guys sometimes because at the time, this is the only deal that could be worked out.

    Boxing is a business first, after all.

                Roman Gonzalez
                Naoya Inoue
                Keith Thurman

                Lomachenko's gotta do it too, he has a lot to live up to. He's the best since Ali.

                    I'm not here to criticize Lomachenko, I just found it challenging to answer this question and had to really think about it.

                    As far as "solid" opponents go, I think the following fighters have been fighting solid fighters for quite some time. Keep in mind, I understand that some opponents are not up to par to what fans think the fighter should be fighting, but nonetheless, these following fighters have been fighting "solid" opponents for a while, even those opponents who fans don't accept as being good enough.

                    Mayweather - (he will break this with McGregor)

                    Pacquiao - Worst opponents were Rios and Horn, who are still solid.

                    Wladimir Klitshcko - From 2005 to 2017 he fought maybe 3 weak fighters who I would not call solid.

                    Hopkins - He fought solid/great opponents from 1994 to 2016, with what I would say 4 pit stops (weak opponents).

                    Juan Manuel Marquez - From 2003 to 2014, 11 years, he fought two opponents that were below solid: Likar Ramos and Fedchenko.

                    Timothy Bradley - From 2007 to 2016 Bradley fought nothing but solid, good, or great fighters.
