Comments Thread For: Which Active Fighters Deserve To Be Called Great?

[Marchegiano]

I don't believe any of the modern fighters are great. Too inactive, too untested. Today's elite might be making a lot of money, but that's not the same thing as greatness.

The American "muh A side", "muh split" philosophy popularised by Floyd Mayweather is uninspiring in the extreme.

They don't show up drunk as often though. Less record padding as the old timers as well.

Bivol.

Show me another guy that can beat a huge 25 lbs heavier undefeated guy.

You guys claimed Ramirez was 200 lbs.

Wtf? Outside of Canelo, Crawford has at least as good of a resume as any of them (miles ahead of Stevenson and especially Bam). Where’d you come up with that shyte?

Listen here dumbass, bam Rodriguez beat Carlos cuadras, and sor rungvisai (who knocked out chocolatito) usyk beat Anthony Joshua, Murat gassiev, Huck, Hunter and chisora, Crawford only has Spence And Amir Khan , Inoue beat nonito donaire, Omar Narváez and Juan Carlos Payano, gallo Estrada beat cuadras, rungvisai, González and Brian valoria, bivol beat Sullivan Barrera, Gilberto Ramírez, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez and Jean Pascal, chocolatito beat Estrada, cuadras and other world champions

Inoue will go down as one of the great little men for sure. If his career continues as it’s gone.

There’s lots of fighters with potential to be great but they need to fight other top fighters.

Explain to me why??

[El_Mero]

Usyk, Canelo, gallo Estrada, chocolatito González, bam Rodríguez, Naoya Inoue, Terence "Bud" Crawford (if he improves his resume), bivol, Shakur Stevenson

Thats crazy. 3 division lineal and 2 division undisputed shuts down YOUR opinion. He did what no others have done regardless of opposition. If it was that easy others could have and would have done it, period.

And Shakur decided to retire instead of prove he can be great.

Shakur Stevenson, he only has Valdez on his resume and de los santos fight was ass also for Crawford and Canelo they are both talented fighters with good skills and I have him as a great fighter

They can do their drinking during their long spells of inactivity instead.

Today, greatness is defined by winning a load of crappy sanctioning body belts regardless of opposition.
