    Just requires a straight answer from you, which you are once again failing to provide lol.
    Let's try again

    Who avoided fighting the best
    Name all these fights
    DM was the champ. Who didn't he want to travel to him?


    Must be tough for you as ESBs most pwned poster :jaja-no:

    Good fighter who picked up some of DMs vacated titles.
    So did Roy say he was wanting to travel to face the champ?
    DM put adds in magazines calling Jones out. Recall seeing them. Show me where Jones was calling DM out

    I think it would be a great fight and very competitive.
    I think Saul has more to his game BUT........
    That freaking jab that DM had was a thing of beauty a fast,hard and he doubled up on it.
    I think that jab would be too much for Saul to overcome and while he would give a very good account of himself he would lose.

    Canelo has fought once at light heavy. Literally exactly one time. Granted, knocking out Kovalev is a big deal, but slightly less so when you consider the circumstances, that it was a shot Kovalev having already been stopped twice in the Ward II and Storm Álvarez fights (and even in beating Álvarez in the rematch and then scraping by Yarde he was clearly not his old self) - to say nothing of the rehydration clause.

    Even leaving all that aside, one solitary night's work in a division doesn't make you "far better" than The Tiger. :nono:

    Barber who he took the title from was a very dangerous boxer at the time.
    Mark Prince was an unbeaten prospect.
    He stopped Montel.
    He beat the brakes off Hill by OUTJABBING the master jabber.
    Thadzi was coming off wins vs Toney and he stopped Scully. DM SMASHED HIM.
    Stopped Graciano in the rematch.

    The guy had some impressive wins.

    Prince was unbeaten v low rated opposition, he never beat a top 10 fighter.

    You have me wrong. I'm a huge fan of international amateur boxing and love seeing how these guys develop into pro's. I am American but I am a fan of fighters from all parts of the world. Honestly, one of my favorite things about our sport is how certain countries develop fighters with certain styles due to their amateur programs.

    Piper said the best he fought was DM, & he's been in with the likes of Nigel Benn & CW Carl Thompson .. & Considering Canelo lost* clearly to an ageing triple G twice too I can't see him beating a peak DM.. who's basically a bigger Golovkin in many ways

    He is was too huge for prime GGG for sure.
    Actually I think prime!!!!!!!!!! Kovalev in ideal shape with 6 months notice had not more than 50% chances vs DM in Russia.
    Prime GGG with 6 months notice lesser chances.
    Bivol lesser than 50% chances to win DM.

    Yeah, actually I had assumed that after this fight vs Eleider Alvarez he might retire. Beat up Kovalev get from him was harsh and very impressive in their 1 st fight.

    The thing is what shocked me the most about DM was that jab -kinds reminded me of Quartey but FASTER.
    Anyone know who trained him ? Because I have his early fights and while the jab is ok then its NOTHING like it became latter in his career.

    Roy beat a couple of proven fighters on the world stage, but he had a lot of stiffs on his resume too, but he wasn’t going near Germany and Darius M to save his life.

    roy had a lot of stiffs on his resume (like hopkins did) because there were a lot of euro fighters who wanted no part of them when they were the best P4P fighters on the planet.

    :lol:

    and in the history of boxing, how many fights exactly have been made against great fighters by putting ads in a magazine?
    go ahead, i'll wait.
