Boxing Scene Members: Who Faught The Best Opposition In Boxing History?

[Easy-E]

but the question was best opposition

No kidding.
And Lewis didnt fight the best opposition.
Its not HIS fault there werent great fighters, but he didnt fight many greats.

Hagler is my favorite fighter of all time, but I thought Leonard won the fight.

He stopped Hearns the first time and he almost stopped Hearns in the last minute of the second fight.

He stopped Benitiz a guy that Duran and Hearns didn't stop.

I didn't mention Mayweather and the others because those fighters were not all time greats like the 4 I mentioned.

Leonard has beaten more P4P greats then anyone else, Benitiz is considered by many to be the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all time, Hagler is considered the greatest middleweight of all time and Duran and Hearns are considered by many to be in the top P4P list of all time.

don't get me wrong, its still an amazing resume, it just doesnt compare to ALis because of all the controversy surrounding it.

Perhpas, but the fact that he was stopped by Rahman and McCall while BHOP was undefeated for so long makes it a wash.
Lewis's resume doesnt compare to the greats.

hopkins was never undefeated :P

tyson beat holmes while in his PRIME. all im sayin is he faced the best opposition in his prime,he didnt duck no1

[SquareCircle]

ali,lennox,tyson,foreman

hahahahahahhaa

holmes was not in his prime when tyson beat him

HAHAHAHA he didn't duck anyone in his prime? If holmes was in his prime according to you when he fought tyson then Tyson, at age 22 or 23, was god damned definately in his prime when he ducked foreman.

[Easy-E]

who didnt he fight during his prime

Thats not what im saying.
He fought mostly everyone in his prime, but his resume still doesnt compare to Ali's or Robinson's.

Holmes was in his prime in the early 80's.
You are about 8 years off.
Im not saying he ducked anyone, but his level of competition still doenst compare with the greats.
Thats not his fault, thats just the way it is.
