    This thread is kinda negative. But...

    Oscar/Chavez over Whitaker. This did not happen. And they are both included as top wins on the respective resumes.

    Spinks vs Ali.

    Ali was like 4000 years old when they fought.

    I'm a Calzaghe fan but Calzaghe-Lacy. Lacy was nothing more than a limited guy with a chiseled physique a catchy nickname who got a lot of hype by koing a bunch of cans. Not to mention since his loss to Joe he has done absolutely nothing.

    Lewis over Tyson.

    Tyson was basically a dead man in the ring.

    Tarvers wins over Jones.

    Calzaghe v Eubank is the most overrated and misremembered win in recent boxing history IMO.

    nobody ever mentions that fight as one of mayweathers important victories

    how was this win over rated? margarito beat a live opponent who is arguably better than him
