Who do you class as an A-class fighter today?

[thecomedian2]

LMAO Muhammed Ali is a B grade fighter and Sugar Ray Robinson must be D- by your standards with 19 losses.

The question was about todays boxers, Muhamed Ali and Ray Robinson are ATG, GOAT level.

You can differentiate with A*, A+, A, A- etc if you really want to. I just labelled Vasyl Lomachenko an A* fighter in another thread. It's easier to just generalize the A-class category though, you don't have to go into the finer details of a grade within a grade.

Tyson Fury
Oleksandr Usyk
Saul Alvarez
Vasyl Lomachenko

Just a few. Are the likes of Callum Smith, Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford proven A-class? Manny Pacqiauo was A-class, but is he still? Same goes for Sergey Kovalev and Gennady Golovkin?

Callum Smith B+
Spence A
Crawford A
Pacquiao was A+ but now B lvl out of his prime
Kovalev A-
Ggg A

Fury A
Usyk A+
Alvarez A-
Lomenchenko A+

Only Unbeaten fighters qualify as A/A+

A good example of the way that an unbeaten status has become a fetish with some fans to the detriment of the sport. This has led to boxers becoming increasingly risk averse, desperate not to lose their '0' and content to exist in a state of perpetual paralysis.

In reality all the ATG's lost occasionally, such is boxing and those losses didn't diminish their accomplishments but made them all the more impressive because they took place in an era where fighters would take a risk.

Today we have a generation of fans brought up on Floyd's careful massaging of his unbeaten record and they've somehow convinced themselves that the path to greatness involves managing all risk out of the game.

Tragic...

Floyd never lost you piece of ****! Canelo lost to him which is really not that bad because Floyd has made a career of beating future HOF boxers.

ATG/GOAT Floyd>>> A+ Canelo> A GGG

But losing to SALIDO will for ever more taint Lomachenko´s career.
