    I don't rate Sadler that highly myself, Ross is a great win but Ross gets a tad overrated himself

    As for jokes, you're a troll and you know it

    What difference does it make if the guy was p4p#1 or not? Wasn't Donald Curry p4p#1 for a time? Donald doesn't rank higher because of that than someone like Tommy Hearns, who was never considered the top dog.

    He'd beat him too, Saddler doesn't have the outside game and Guzman's loads stronger than Pep not to get bullyed

    Bear in mind, we are talking to someone who ranks Juan Manuel Marquez higher than Alexis Arguello. Let's not torment this feeble-minded fellow too much. Makes me feel guilty.

    A better case for that than Carpentier and Buchanan being above Mayweather :lol:

    And picking a good contender over Saddler means little, he had the footwork and defense of George Foreman

    Winning titles in five weight classes and remaining undefeated is nothing compared to Nelson's record because Mayweather ducked and dodged his way through boxing.

    Ah, admit it you are all that. Embace your bias. :D

    Frank Buno, really? :lol: I´d have thought Benn or Eubank.


    Still no Kid Chocolate. :verysad


    BS. Mayweather´s win over Gatti is much better.

    the win over saddler should be rated highly though. a clear win, past his prime, against one of the hardest hitting and strongest feathers of all time, a man who apparently had pep's number.

    The two biggest fights he lost. He got broken mentally against Margarito and got outboxed by Pac.

    absolutely. but it`s not whether he won or lost but whether he took the dangerous fights. he did. mayweather avoided both of them. even though he`d be favoured in either fight and by a decent margin

    Well tbh benn was never on my radar during my introduction to boxing. It was about 95, eubank was coming to the end of his career and was a very public figure. Naz was exploding onto the scene in entertaining fashion and bruno had just beat mccall. These 3 flying the flag as far as I was concerned as an 8 year old boy.

    But then iron was released, and scheduled a fight with bruno, I remember seeing the news channels, the sports highlights and fearing for bruno's life. How could the loveable giant stave off this wild convict? Ofcourse he couldn't do.

    So I had 3 huge public brits and a great backstory with bruno as the starring role. I was hooked.

    Then between lewis and hatton I stayed hooked and probably round about the hatton-floyd fight I got into the global boxing scene and more recently (last 6 month or so) I delved into the historic scene.

    So yes, even this very conversation is down to frank himself :)
