    And then vs BJS, where he was again outclassed, and imo lost every round by like 2 points...BJS knows how to do enough to win close but clear rounds and I feel that is what he did...and that was the best version of BJS we have seen, where he was in that 2 fight stretch with Lemieux and Monroe.

    But yeah imo there is no shame in being a level or two below a prime GGG, and a level or so below the best version of Saunders.
    No shame at all.....unless dude is completely outclassed. Take your ''Champ of the C Class'' ass back where you came from.

    Mike Tyson is another guy. Holy and Lenny...They embarrassed Mike. For me, none of his other wins mean diddly.

        GGG > Mike

        GGG has yet to be embarrassed (came close with his Mexican Challenge).

        The truly great aren't great because they do what's expected....

          Lol well hey if you list GGG over Mike Tyson then man I gotta say I was not expecting to hear anyone say that...a prime Mike Tyson was something else imo...just an unreal talent.

            Vs who, though

            This is what frustrates me with fight fans. Yes, watching a guy nearly kill guys HE'S SUPPOSED TO KILL can be entertaining (hysterical).

              Somebody posted it the other day...but he basically beat every top 10 contender during his run in the late 80s early 90s...his wins over Ruddock, Bruno, Spinks, and Tony Tucker stand out to me.

              Mike was 0-3 in some ways vs Lennox and Holyfield...but he wasn't the same guy then imo...and I would list his wins over some of those guys as noteworthy wins as well.

              Most guys, even greats, are about even in big time fights and I think Mike was no different...just that 3 of his bigger ones came when he was past it and at the end of his career...he went 5-5 in those last 10 fights including 2 Ls to not good fighters at all.

              Holyfield was a great fighter though and always would have been a tough matchup for him though...and Lennox as well.

                When the opponent is questionable at best, they are upgraded and losses get explained away.

                Even in the weakest div, in the weakest eras, there will be ''top'' guys. Besides Grandpa Holmes and Cashing Out Spinks, what guy did Mike beat have a notable legacy ?

                As with LeMeh, Mike was easy pickings the rare times he stepped up.

                  He is the step up and lose champ.
                  The man's name is Lemieux. If you don't think he's all that fine but show some class..

                    And if that's all you have for GGG now...you must honestly not know hardly anything about boxing man...idk if you are newish to the sport but maybe study up a bit before posting lol...send me a PM if you have any questions.

                    Brilliant insights there though...I like your tagline...it suits you
                    I gotta say buddy. You've been on this forum for 9 months and managed to rack up almost 5 thousand posts. This is the first one I have noticed and only because you quoted me. You really need to work on this 'posting' thing.

                      Mario Lemieux is probably a better fighter than David LeMew
