At such a young age, had Benavidez proven to be in the same class as Moore, Ward, and Ezzard Charles

    Canelo is not a Mexican American.
    Loma v Haney was not a robbery.
    Ward v Kovalev I, eh? I’ll give that one. Reluctantly because it was still close.
    Tyson Fury isn’t Eastern European.

    Tyson Fury is not an American, but Wilder is. Canelo is Mexican, but he was hugely popular among Mexican-Americans.

    Morrell - Khataev was another robbery.

    Did you make this thread about Morrell?

    David has fought a who's who of nobody's or past it somebody's. Don't compare him to Cincinnati Cobra, it isn't even close

    Saying David does not have 1 single solid opponent is straight up trolling.

    The talent pool today is nowhere near as deep as it was in those days.

    Canelo has lived in the US for like 20 years.

    Loma beat Haney - most observers, expert or amateur say so

    Ward lost to Kovalev fight 1

    Fury was robbed by the AMERICAN WILDER...

    Is it Zurdo or Andrade? Whose his "solid win"?
