    "true" as in you believe it's true--ie, that Eubank Jr would have kicked GGG's arse?

    yep--looks like SK is honest but "selective" but quite a bit of spin he's put on your record.

    like the GGG of sportsbook ("he barely beat a WW and a cancer survivor")

    best answer right here

    the "zero-worship" is a cancer on the whole damn sport

    eg, casuals think Lemieux isn't any good because he's got three losses (he is damn good, #2 MW in my view)

    another example, i predict, Lomachenko--who is like nothing i've ever seen, might as well be from another planet--will probably have a second loss on his record before his 20th fight, not because he's not great already but because he fights a lot and he wants the best matchups

    We posted at almost exactly the same time. Instead of pointing to my post I pointed to yours.

    "Lomachenko winning 400 amateur fights means nothing in the pros, it's like a UFC fighter bragging about that he was good at high school wrestling"

    It doesn't and you couldn't care less about Rigo's amateur record which is equal if not better.

    Both matter, Rigondeaux wouldn't be such a skilled pro without the amateur experience of his. And exactly how is Rigondeaux's amateur career better when he lost 12 amateur fights?

    But he won close to 500.

    Both of them are great amateurs and Loma is a great pro but 400 wins is often attached to his professional credentials by fanboys when in reality it has little significance.
    100s of those wins were against nobodys who came and went through the amateur circuit. Rigo , Loma , GGG etc would have been way too experienced than loads of them.

    Korobov boasts the same amateur pedigree and look what Andy Lee done to him. Golovkins inexperience at elite level in professional boxing could hurt him against Canelo.
