    GOAT stands for greatest of all time in case you didnt know...

    who would be the GOAT in a h2h list.....taking the element of lack of competition in an era out of it

    dont judge it by what their record would be if their past fights were stopped after 4 rounds....if you know what i mean.

    rather, imagine if there were only 4 rounds fights, so both fighters know before the fight that theres only 4 rounds, who would be the GOAT?

    Pascal was probably winning the rematch at the end of the 4th too. Hopkins landed the best shot in either the 3rd or the second but Pascal took the other 3, then pretty much lost every round from there out.


    Also if fights only lasted 4 rounds, Froch's record would suck.

    You still can be the GOAT by losing once :bart

    Zab dominates early on...not just point raking

    George foreman or Tyson. But then again we can't say for sure since all fighters are trained to go 12 round fights. If the fights would have been 4 round there would be a change in tacticts probably and the fighters are forced to fight in a higher pace much like the amateurs.
