    Bute won the first Andrade fight legitimately, no matter the clearly partial referee.
    He was up in time, and you don't stop a fighter at 3:05 in round 12. People are still debating JCC stopping Taylor at 2:58 in the 12th, but some of them are in favor of Bute getting stopped at 3:05.
    Fun fact, that if the fight had been stopped it probably had been overruled by the IBF rules in play anyway.

    I second this. If he'd taken the Lewis fight and beaten him, I'd be convinced. Bowe has basically the Holyfield wins as his claim to greatness.

    Floyd actually might be the best boxer ever, from a technical standpoint.

    Floyd could POSSIBLY have been the REAL Fighter of the Era & one of the best boxers ever he had the incredible God Given boxing talents to achieve it BUT !! He lacked the cojones of a real champion & allowed himself to become the NSAC's & Vegas cash cow & let them protect his bogus 0 for him ensuring him he would never lose. They made sure he didnt even when it was obvious to everyone he had really lost several times. This made him just a "MANUFACTURED CHAMPION!!!!!

    That depended on what rules the fight was held under. Some states & countries say you cannot be saved by the bell in any round even the last. Bute was OUT!! No way in hell he could have carried on he couldnt stand

    Can you imagine your hero in his late 30s-early 40s traveling to hostile territory and dealing with local corruption(dirty tactics, ref, judges) Yeah I can't either. Because he would have taken an L. Void needed a gift to beat Maidana. a late 30s-early 40s Void isn't coming out on top while dealing with all of that. Get real fanboy.

    That most ATG's would beat fighters of today. With the exception of a handful, most of the old timers would be massacred.

    That Joshua and Fury couldn’t compete with top guys of the 90s era and would be picked apart. I swear it’s always people on twitter that say this no other app. They’re both better than Tua, Bruno and Morrison who were all consistently ranked in the top 5 and top 10 in the ring magazine each year and 2 of them were world champs.

    Floyd Mayweather received gifts in his first fights against JLC and Maidana.

    Called the first fight 114-112 Floyd against JLC, and called it 116-112 against Maidana. Castillo waited too long in the first fight to get started, and Maidana couldn't keep up the pace on his early start and faded late. You can "control the narrative" and still lose the fight, and that's what happened in both cases.
