Most elite fighters could retire undefeated.

The blueprint's simple (but not easy),
clever match making and walking away at the right time,
fight low risk guys and retire at the right time,
most great fighters had losses at the end of their careers.

Ducking, evading and cherries. It's easy. Wilders got away with it so far and that turd ain't even elite.

And never losing to guys like Medgeon Singsurat, and Rustico Torrecampo.

Wilder dared to challenge a true champion and got schooled immediately. Haymon was able to buy a draw but we all know Wilder took an L in that fight

Should just label this thread the excuse maker's haven.

From 686BC to now there are ten unbeaten HW champions, period. 3k years, ten to ever do it, y'all ****in' dumb.


Been plenty of eras with weak competition, been loads of hypejobs kept safe, been loads of champions who did retire unbeaten, only ten remain to this day.

Clearly, it takes something more than a weak era, more than being protected, more than getting out when the timing is right. It takes being too good to fail, some **** y'all excuse makin' ******* will never understand.

It is not that easy.

You have to be flawless to minimise damage in each fight. You have to be able to adapt to avoid losing to that fighter who simply has your number. You have to have a good chin to avoid getting stopped by a well timed punch. You have to have toughness when the opponent puts you through hardship.

There is only so much careful match making can eliminate.

Don't forget that had Fury only been knocked down once, he would have won.
That fight was Wilder's wake up call
And Fury's karma for doping vs Wlad

Julio Cesar Chavez had a clean record of 89-0, if he had just stopped there, could have made history.

Being undefeated doesn't equal having an ATG career. Mayweather is the only one I can think of that can claim both. Maybe Andre Ward can, but whether he's an ATG is debatable. He might be, but barely. Sure, a great talent can retire undefeated, but being undefeated without unanimously being considered an ATG doesn't mean much, and nobody thinks it does.
