This man is clearly a prize idiot. At least his speaking out helps us to clearly identify a person to avoid.
It's impressive but as someone mentioned with Chavez, the credit usually goes their way once they retire. It is also merely a number. Top 10 or top 5 opponents faced might be a good companion stat.
GGG is a strong skilled 160lbs former champ, Floyd has never met anyone even close to that physically.
Is he that good? Very hard to tell as the competition at 105 is very thin, and most of the fighters have relatively few fights in comparison to the middle or upper weight class championship matches.
Yes he is good... not near as accomplished or talented as Floyd but the Thai system of taking easy fights to help stay in shape between bigger fights is different than the US boxing system.. hate to see him be mocked and shitted on for beating those put in front of him...his time at the top is coming to an end due to age.. wish him the best as making a living in Thailand as a fighter is very difficult
The Pride of the Kingdom of Thailand Chayaphon Moonri aka Wanheng Menayothin aka Kaiyan Ghada aka the Clouded Leopard of Isan Oscar has a once in a lifetime gem in his hand, Wanheng Menayothin has the potential to exceed anybody in his stable now. Before Wanheng does anything he has to prove himself to the Mexicans & destroy Ricardo Lopez...because Mexicans will always bring up Ricardo Lopez Mini version of Marciano vs Louis, if Oscar enforces 105lbs & prepares Wanheng properly Ricardo is Finito...then Mexico is wide open & he can do as he wishes until he reaches 100-0-0 & retire as the GOAT of 105 Ricardo Lopez never lost & the only test that matters, if Oscar can make that fight, he is instantly a top ATG promoter. If Ricardo upsets Wanheng, then Floyd is safe & Ricardo got the ugly draw so Floyd is not bothered by his record
So you're basically saying that East Asia, South East Asia, Africa and some parts of South America do not belong in boxing.
I'm a fan and couldn't agree more. People don't realize the grind over there just stay afloat. These Thai guys fight for peanuts in comparison to world champs from pretty much anywhere else in the world. The in-between fights is part of the culture over there it's also seen in Muay Thai. I don't think the TBE meme is really that insulting what's worse is the fangirls of that guy who actually get insecure and feel the need to put Moonsri down. The weight class is also a lot more exciting than given credit for as well even of it is lacking compared to light fly, fly and super fly.
I don't like the division either, but that doesn't say I'm a filthy weightist. Some of my best friends tolerate little people... or is the politically correct phrase halflings?
Inoue & Pacman both started under 112 & are perfect example of the destructive power of the Alpha males who were forged under High-Pressure-High-Temperature conditions. Wanheng Menayothin is more like a Ricardo Lopez...too late in his career to move him up the divisions
