    Another one I’d add is: “boxing is a business”.

      Eliminate P4P, ATG, once in a generation, and BS like that.

        Sadly it will need to stop being a business before people stop saying that.

          Certainly P4P. It's a nonsense.

          A lightweight wouldn't move like a heavy at 250lbs. A heavyweight wouldn't punch like that at lightweight.

          It's zero indication of greatness.

            For me, I spit on P4P.

            If you tell me there are a group of best boxers in the world top 10 or whatever, I accept gladly. If you then say you can rate them or number them as you like, I still follow you. I can respect that.

            But if you say P4P, if they were the same weight, Loma would beat Davis, Fury, Canelo, Spence, Inoue, etc., then I get confused. I can't determine that.

            It's utter BS.

              How about the second someone loses a 0, then suddenly they were "exposed" or a "hypejob". Those terms probably don't need to be eradicated, but they're definitely overused.

                2. Crawford
                3. Canelo
                4. Estrada
                5. Spence
                6. Usyk
                7. Inoue

                As far as I can go for now. There are way more. Don't care about the order.

                    "It's about levels" - said as though it is some deep observation...
