    Qawi the H2H LH GOAT ruined Saad and would ruin your dear Ezzard and you know it.


    I'm kidding... Maybe

    I hope you're kidding, otherwise you've really devalued Ezzard Charles in his best division.

    Foster is my personal H2H at 175. The Zarate of the lightheavyweight division


    Torres is one of America's greatest amateur boxers who did well as a professional, better than Breland did as a professional. No shame in losing to an ATG Tiger even if he was 37.

    Actually there is. Had he exerted his size and strength against Tiger even a bit, he'd have won both fights. He slept the whole time, letting the older, smaller man outhustle him. It was an abysmal showing.

    Then there was the Cotton fight, of course.

    No chance in hell he could beat B-Hop. Would slow the pace of the fight to the point where Saad would throw <40 punches a round and fusterate the hell out of him with his pot shot right hands that lead right to a clinch

    In Saad's time, Bernard would likely get disqualified for not fighting.

    Vitamin water, black bottles and tainted meat are no joke but viagra is the only PED I need to really give it to my competition.

    I love Saad, obviously. If you put him in a firefight situation, he'd be the guy coming out at the end so the guys who would beat him wouldn't engage him in that.

    I think Spinks has the size and tricky style to out point Saad, although it would probably be close.

    The Galindez fight would be a dream matchup too and I'm on the fence on this but maybe he is also a little bit too crafty for Saad?

    I do think Saad's style would be a bad fit for Foster, just because Foster was an unbelievable puncher at the weight and Saad wasn't that difficult to locate.
