    What fighters do you think have fooled the boxing community into thinking that their record is better than what they suggest ?

    Some records and achievements look fancy but how good are these fighters that we like to glorify as all time greats or hall of famers ?

    A boxer cannot do it all but if a boxer has opportunities to be greater but does not take them then why do these fighters still get our vote ?

    I think Hatton fits into this category perfectly

    Hes done a great job bringing back alot of interest of boxing with the UK fans, but cmon his best wins is against a faded Tszyu with hometown help, a shot Castillo and a light fisted gay wad.

    So Mayweather wasn't a real test?

    Berto, as much as I admire him probably deserves a mention here.

    Repeating yourself makes your arguement far more credible.

    Being that you are a Pac fan, you are probably talking about Floyd or Calzaghe. But they both fought and beat fighters in their prime. Pac has J.M.M and who else was capable of beating PAc? Nobody. Everyone else was past it and lost a one sided fight except Morales who was past it. Pac being knocked out 2 times in 3 rounds...my bad. My mentioning those 2 ko losses had nothing to do with nothing:dead

    Molitor pre-Cabbellero is the perfect example
