I heard some preposterous (but funny) grumbling that Canelo has already beaten better competition at middleweight than GGG because Angulo came in...
IMO, Tyson beats any heavyweight pre-Ali. They were too small and simply lacked the sheer physical capabilities to match up with a mutant freak...
I've never understood why people say this. To me, "struggling" is a split decision, a disputed, controversial decision, being well behind on the...

You're right - it was actually Whitaker who served as the catalyst, not Chavez. Pre-Whitaker, Oscar was only averaging 300,000 buys. The Whitaker...
