    I wouldn’t say he was a lesser fighter. He was a very talented multi skilled boxer who for whatever reason never reached his full potential. If winning the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship can be considered underachieving. I see what you mean but I wouldn’t say lesser on this example.

    a gentle reminder this a a free forum where everyone has the to right and liberty to express their thoughts, opionions, and judgmemt on the topic being presented and discussed.

    Boxing is one of the most corrupt sports where winner has become the losers and loser has become the winners; Just to name a few Bradley was gifted a win against Pac, Ward was gifted a win agaist Kovalev, Haney was gifted a win against Loma and Floyd was gifted atleast 4 wins.
