    Have a dozen or so more within a few levels that is more than enough to make great fights. When I read people claiming Thurman and or porter are more "proven" than Spence I shake my head, just because he hasn't been in directly with them doesn't mean we ignore the insane gap in talent and skills, totally different fight game between those level of fighters

    SOB Ward is the most overrated of all...........................he cheats with his judges, referees, boxing commissions, etc. he clearly lost to Kovalev who will have to force him into the ring again and knock SOB out..............

    It's the sweet science hipster phenomenon. Lara has shown damn good skill and defense in some of his fights, but not in others. You have people telling you he schooled Canelo when he never got close to doing that even if you think he won. These people will call anything a schooling.

    Agree with your first paragraph. I compare Cotto to Gatti. Exciting fights but loses to elites.

    I still believe Khan has tremendous talent and not overrated at all. He just has a bad chin. He was beating Canelo until KTFO. He was beating Garcia until KTFO. He used to fight anybody, anywhere. Too bad he's turned into a diva.

    Brook still undecided. I didn't think much of him but he impressed in his loss to GGG.

    Brook impressed you against ggg ? So ggg must had been more than impressive since he wiped the floor with brook with not a sniff of trouble at all

    No GGG didn't impress me. I don't care the size of Brook in that fight, Brook was not used to fighting MW in pro fights. GGG was expected to win that fight by KO.

    And yes Brook did impress me anyway. He was landing clean and effective shots against GGG. My score was even until the KO.

    The pathetic post above shows only that you cannot provide a legitimate argument

    A perfect example of schooling was Bernard Hopkins wins over Trinidad & Pavlik. He made both look like clubfighters & not only beat them but took their hearts

    We love beating up our best athletes time and time again in this sport, and we wonder why it's dying.

    It seems more boxing fans are only fans of a few guys and constantly **** on anyone else.. you wonder if they just want **** some of these half-naked guys then actually enjoying the sport for the sport itself.

    I'm a fan of boxing, not just fighters.
