Who took on the more dangerous opponents over the last 5 years. Floyd or Sergio?

[-Kev-]

Betting odds for the Chavez fight were 2 to 1 at the time. Those were closest odds for any recent PPV fight. On average, people gave Chavez a 40% to win in this poll.

Polls in NSB mean nothing. The same forum that had Pacquiao winning a poll of who is the greatest fighter in a list that had Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Holyfield, Marquez, Chavez Sr, Mayweather.

Polls in NSB mean sh-t. Roy Jones is the greatest modern legend and it's not even close.

So what poll means something to you?

The poll of your homeys and your personal opinion?

Because every single legitimate rankings have
Leonard,Duran,Hearns, and Hagler above Jones..

So if polls on sites like this mean nothing.. and I agree with that.

What about the rankings made from various major boxing outlets and boxing writers/historians?

Right now it's the beginning of 2013.

So let's go back to the end of 2007/ beginning of 2008.

Martinez:
Chavez Jr - Got his ass handed to him
Macklin - Dropped and barely escaped with a win
Barker - part-time janitor
Sergiy Dzinziruk - Goatfarmer
Pavlik - Drunk and could be heard asking for more tequila between rounds
Williams - Good win
Williams - Lost clearly
Jordan - Cab driver
Bunema - Bum
Clintron - Cintron was robbed

vs

Floyd

Hatton
Marquez
Mosley
Cotto
Ortiz


Floyd fought a lot less over the last 5 years.. but overall still pretty dangerous opposition.. despite all of them either being ******ed or past prime.

The poll wasn't meant as evidence that Chavez is a threat as seen right now. It was evidence that he was seen as a threat before fight. You claimed, "Chavez Jr, Macklin, Barker, weren't seen as much of a threat or dangerous opponents by anyone." That statement is obviously wrong as the poll and the betting odds show. Sure, you can claim he's no longer seen as a threat, but that's post hoc.

I should have probably quoted just that one line to make it clear what I was responding to.

Macklin and Barker beat Chavez jr

[Skittlez]

Chavez Jr was a young iron chin come forward warrior who has never lost or even been hurt.. Martinez is a 37 year old man.

Jr was a very dangerous fight.
