    I think you insisted I don’t talk to you anymore? I guess that was yesterday though.

    Walcott and Holyfield but the plot armor only applied to getting title shots not actually winning the fights.

    Are there champions who consistantly beat fighters they aren't supposed to beat? I don't think there really are.

    Dare I say Dubois hes never been favored in a major fight thus far and hes somehow on top of the mountain.

    I agree.

    That is not "Plot Armor", more like "Judges Armor"

    Would you be able to answer the question? I don't understand what you mean by Don King's script etc concerning Tito.

    If fighters are constantly beating guys they "Shouldn't" then it's our inability to conceive that is the issue!

    We had a debate about Foreman that I thought was finished and you said yourself you didn't want to discuss it further. And as I already said me and Man_Machine ended the debate in friendly way.

    You then went into another thread having digs at me about a subject you said you didn't want to discuss further. You then implied "you will keep doing it in future". Hence I said I don't know what your issue is but if you're going to hold grudges over a debate or a different opinion then you shouldn't bother interacting with me because i don't want to argue that was my exact words.

    Once I'm done with a debate with a certain member I'm not going into other threads to have digs at that same member that seems peculiar to me. And I don't know why you would do it because nothing happened other than we had a discussion and we didn't hold the same opinion.

    And yet here you are bringing me up again for what reason ? You are talking to @Journeyman92 I don't see what that has to do with me. If you have an issue with me PM me I'm not doing this over multiple threads cluttering up the forum.

    Agree but it's actually also the opposite since there is one or two upsets that shouldn't be there lmao

    That’s what I get for posting with half my mind on something else, my mistake.

    Trinidad was a money printing machine for King & his armour was on full display in the so-called new fight of the century against De La Hoya. It’s telling he wasn’t gifted a decision later, against Ronald Wright. The wheels had fallen off after the Hopkins fight, but had he still been undefeated by the time he fought Wright, he could have lost every round & still taken home the W.

    Same old show King had going with Julio Cesar Chávez years earlier, just conning the Puerto Rican crowd instead of the Mexican one.

    Bernard Hopkins.

    Being a world champion and consistently fighting at top tier through your forties?

    Hopkins was 49 years, 297 days old when he lost the WBA (Super) and IBF Light-Heavyweight titles to Kovalev.
