Also I find this talk of losses and being undefeated pretty unconvincing. Sometimes when you fight top guys you lose. Ruddocks prime losses are...
Your argument initially was that Holyfield cleaned out the division and fought everybody. I pretty clearly demonstrated that wasn't the case....
Emile Griffith came very close to totally cleaning out his era. He fought nearly all the top fighters of his day and continued fighting the best...
The point about Bowe and Douglas was in response to you arguing Lewis's opponents were somehow compromised or old and that the same can be said...
Still smarter than you seemingly. My point was Holyfield didn't come anywhere close to cleaning out his era and missed out on numerous worthy...
Holyfield fought Thomas, Foreman, and Holmes when they were all past their primes. He doesn't have an edge in that regard at all. Moreover a...
The loss to Bowe was a close, controversial decision that many felt he won. I would say his win over Zolkin was highly impressive as well though...
Why are wins over Schulz, Botha, Hide, Biggs supposed to impress me? I would classify those guys as journeyman level. Tubbs is the only one I...
As I pointed out he didn't come close to fighting everyone. He missed out on at least half the top guys of his era. Plenty of the guys he fought...
Plenty of them were more relevant than the majority of the guys he did face. What did Foreman, Czyz, Moorer do to earn fights with Holyfield? In...
Lennox Lewis was from the same era and beat as many highly ranked opponents if not more though ratings are subjective due to horrible matchmaking....
Based on what exactly? Plenty of those guys are better than old Foreman, Cooper, etc. Bowe and Moorer's reputations are based almost entirely on...
Pulev was almost 40 and hadn't scored a notable win in years. There's nothing to suggest he was still top 10
He didn't come remotely close to facing everyone in his era Ruddock Witherspoon Tubbs McCall Bruno Akinwande Sanders etc
Fighters from Jack Johnsons day may be lacking relative to fighters from the 1970s and 1990s but by the 1940s you had guys like Walcott, Harold...
