    Sometimes, a fighter is so good that they make other top fighters look bad, which makes people think that said fighter is fighting bums. What fighters would you say were too good for their own good?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Pernell Whitaker

    Canelo. He dominated Smith, Saunders and Plant making them look average. These are all very good opponents.

    Loma at 130-He made decent opposition look like complete novices.

    I remember reading about Charles Burley. "God asked us, 'Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?' and I guess I didn't raise my hand fast enough".
