    Yeah GGG is a good call, he showed more than enough to be an ATG, yet most just focus on Canelo, or say he only beat bums

    Foreman is **** on a lot, he’s the big one. Wonder he can breathe under that mountain of elephant ****.
    Frazier is underrated while maybe not ‘**** on’ so much

    I think a fair amount of people underrate Riddick Bowe especially in his prime.

    Rocky Marciano. Posts dogging on him literally defined this forum for the entirety of the 2010s.

    Haney might take the crown on that.

    This forum doesn't like FMJ, Andre Ward, Deontay Wilder, or any fighter from the old Eastern Bloc.

    I dont want to say it but a lot of it is tinged with racism and ethnic hatred

    Ward i can at least understand because he was dirty as hell and always had a home field advantage

    Can’t the same exact thing be applied to Floyd? It’s not surprising that either guy is hated tbh

    He wasn't as bad imo and his accomplishments are much better but main reason people him is his attitude imo people don't like it when fighters hype themselves up too much and downplay legends

    Smaller HWs like Marciano and Frazier where they say the size difference is too much. Somehow Tyson is exempt from this way of thinking.
