    Don King and Jose Sulaiman suck each other off.
    The WBO President is Frank Warren's 'special friend'

    Manny Pac is overrated
    Mosley will beat Margarito
    If Amir Khan wasn't Asian he wouldn;t be as hyped
    John Murray will achieve more in his career than Amir Khan
    Linear and Ring titles are the most legitimate titles
    Prime Nigel Benn could have beaten Joe Calzaghe
    The Gatti-Ward trilogy is waaaay overrated
    The Vazquez-Marquez trilogy will go down as the greatest of all time (is that a controversial view?)
    Chavez beat Whitaker




















    Just joking with the last one :lol:

    That one strikes me as pretty conventional.
    Thinking they are held as too sacred and legitimate,as i do,strikes me as more contentious.

    Joe Calzaghe is a more entertaining fighter and harder to beat than Manny Pacquiao is.

    'Pound for Pound':hey

    Roy Jones Jnr put up a better fight against Calzaghe than Oscar Del A Hoya did against Pac-Man.

    The legend of Arthur's chin is an internet myth. The only big puncher he has ever fought mangled his face. Without the help of a biased ref and the ring side doc he would not have lasted the distance. In any credible boxing town even Smoger would have stopped that fight.

    When Fulgencio Zuniga was the rightful mandatory, for some reason Arthur was allowed to defend against Elvyn Ayala. Why? Because Zuniga can bang, but Ayala had a KO ratio around 36%.

    Marquez had a KO ratio of 67%, but he is an old light middle who has NEVER knocked out a legit middleweight. The rest of the guys on Abraham's resume' have KO ratios at or below 40%.

    Abraham is one of the most protected titlists in the world today. As soon as AA faces someone his own size who can punch and has decent fundamentals, he'll get sparked.

    G-Man would have beaten Roy Jones at MW in 93.

    People overrate the little fighters, purely coz they are more entertaining than the big un's and it is easier to move weights.

    If Hopkins had Beaten Taylor he would have retired, and would never have cracked a Top 50 ATG list.

    The reason that 60's,70's,80's and most of the 90's Legends look so good, fast, tough etc was because they were all off their face on drugs. And most of them would get destroyed by their modern counterparts.

    De La Hoya was robbed against Trinidad
    Hamed would have lost to both Morales & Marquez aswell.
    Jones Jr. & Mayweather Jr. are the most overrated boxer's in the last 30 Yrs.
    Whitaker owns Mayweather Jr. H2H (Any Weightclass)
    Pre-Spinks/ Mike Tyson own's any Heavyweight since.
    Morrison Vs. Tua would have been epic! (KTFO)
    92' Bowe would have beat Lewis
    09' JL Castillo could still win his 3rd championship, If he fight's Berto.
    P.Willams can beat Mayweather Jr.
    Hatton Vs. Cotto is a better fight than Pac.

    Just a couple...

    Strictly in a hypothetical fantasy sense, I really believe a prime Jersey Joe Walcott would beat a prime Muhammad Ali.

    Huggy bear will beat pac.

    Chavez would beat Whitaker at 135 and 140.

    Holding is permitted far too much both by the casual fan and more importantly by refs.

    Old timers are overrated

    Trinidad would have been a great MW had he not run into Hopkins.

    Bobby Pacquio did in fact beat Hernandez.

    Calzaghe is WAAAAY overrated and Kessler has beat no one of note.

    I had Marquez beating Pacquio in their first fight.
