    So?

    Pacquaio has been diminished for years and as you very well know different styles deteriorate at different paces.

    Plus Floyd was juicing for that fight.

    Pac is the only one who was documented using steroids prior to that fight.

    Pac also looked great beating pfp, hof bound Bradley before and after that fight whereas Floyd looked pretty crappy against Maidana.

    Have to go with Wilder. Such a poor record for being a good looking, hard hitting TALL American HW. He should be a household name by now. Americans have been wanting another dominant HW champ. Missed opp IMHO

    Hey! We agree :D

    Fan of Boo Boo still, but he gets on my nerve with his inactivity and level of comp when healthy. I don't know what he's in boxing for, but it sure can't be to be a world champ based on how he's carried his career. But still, highly talented fighter.

    The Stiverne beating Wilder thing was clearly more wishful thinking than anything, very few people have legitimately studied Stiverne in any depth beyond him beating Arreola and being Vitali's mando for some time to really have a good opinion on the match. I wouldn't really describe it as a risk because Stiverne in retrospect was quite a "safe" option to the top. I'd say Luis Ortiz and Povetkin were definitely risks though.

    GGG has been shamelessly ducked for years and now that he’s 36, everyone wants him

    Dirty Dan is Damn Dumb

    He wasn’t gonna fight Charlo or SD on short notice and risk derailing the rematch with Clenelo.

    Floyd got a pass to make the money, why can’t GGG?

    Came up with nothing. can you provide something? Details?

    EDIT: BTW, Floyd was granted a TUE two weeks AFTER the fight. No comment on his IV usage just before the fight?

    No question. Fought utter stiffs for the first 5 years of his career, then carefully selected mediocrities for the last 5. His record is THE most manufactured in boxing.

    Wilder is a glass jawed fraud who will be exposed when he fights somebody decent. And, no geriatric blood pressure patient Ortiz doesn't count.

    Keep in mind, inner2deep said 3G ducked Jermall Charlo, who just fought on 04/21. Two weeks before the fight night. Some posters will make erroneous claims or statements, then just jump to the next one...and next one...
