Most elite fighters could retire undefeated.

Not true, if you want to be a large draw and maximize profits from your fighting career.

You can be a Jeff Horn and make a million by winning an ABC belt.

You don't even have to be an ATG level boxer. Just a guy like Rocky Balboa, off the street going and getting some fights and winning a strap.

You need over 10 wins undefeated to see a title opportunity. So, theoretically, you can retire undefeated and be a "champ" right then and there.

But it won't mean you maximized your profitability during your career, nor gave you a legacy in the long history of boxing sport.

If you want 380 million like Canelo has. You absolutely have to fight the best. You absolutely have to build a legacy. He got that by winning and taking an L against the greatest boxer since the late 80s.

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

what happened to the rematch?

Fury schooled both though. Even if he did dope, his ring IQ is just a lot higher and he knows his strength and weaknesses so he doesn't get into thoughtless slugfests.

I absolutely agree. Fury has a very special ring IQ and will make most fighters, including Wlad, looked lost in the ring.

it so straight forward that only 2 guys pulled it off in the long history of the sport of boxing
