Afraid to lose his 0, only wants soft targets. Got helped by the ref to retain the belt against Dubois and Verhoeven. So far for all the goat talk.
Yes they will care, whether you like it or not they will. Especially casual audiences. He could have completely avoided it. The fact you remember all those other blemishes on fighters records says it does matter. Taking an L to an active contender would have been better than going life and death with a KICKBOXER, he should have retired.
Usyk is lineal champ. Vacating physical belts doesn't free him of responsibility the way it would for an ABC.
The vast majority of these guys have extremely thin resumes and will not be remembered as great fighters. The fact that you are reduced to bringing up a 44 year old Pulev to try to hype up Gassiev is extremely depressing. Or an ancient Haye for Bellew. Or a totally shot Cunningham for Glowacki who hadn't scored a notable win in years. And Furys resume is aging very poorly
It's not who he should have fought it's more his opponents having crappy careers and not taking more big fights
Lol. Thjey manifestly don't and of course they will be remembered, as they were champs, sometime multiple times. Gassiev did his best work at cruiser, and it was great work. Pulev has to be mentioned, because that is what won him his heavyweight belt. The fact that you are ignoring his cruiser work shows how disingenuous you are.
So it's out of his hands? I'd be curious to see you breakdown the opponents mentioned and who THEY should have fought then
