I can't imagine casual fans would prefer seeing Moorer fight mismatch after mismatch against overmatched opponents than take on ranked opponents....
Also the free market has manifestly failed to result in many big fights getting made. Look at Moorer for example. He missed out on nearly all...
The only way to settle who is best is to have them face each other. I can't imagine hardcore fans being satisfied with arguing over who would win.
Bowe was 28/29 years old, in his prime and had only been a pro for 7 years when he fought Golota. Bowe never scored a win of relevance past the...
Had Bowe been willing to fight the punchers of his era especially Lennox Lewis I bet we would have seen some nasty knockout losses. It's easier...
One issue with Bowe is that we don't really have enough evidence to even say how he ranks in his own era because he largely refused to face the...
For the record who are all these big durable guys Bowe stopped? Some of them are big but aside from Holyfield not very durable. Gonzalez...
Riddick beat very few opponents who proved themselves world-class. Ferguson, Hide were no more than journeyman/gatekeeper level. Dokes was shot...
What makes Riddick an elite SHW? His resume aside from Holyfield is pretty poor and he got absolutely thrashed by Andrew Golota dead in his prime...
Bowe wasn't especially old against Golota and was thought to be prime going into the fights. I don't know why the Bowe from the Holyfield fight...
I don't think his failure to fight the best available opposition will be viewed favorably. No fights with McCallum, Toney, Jones, etc
I don't see what makes Sugar Ray Leonard the consensus #2 welterweight based on his work at welterweight. There are a number of other guys who...
When it comes to avoiding fights lots of guys have Mayweather beat.
Realistically Duran may have only been the 4th best welterweight during his brief time at the weight. That doesn't bode well for his all time...
I don't see much argument for Hagler having the better top wins. He has better depth to his resume but there is no single win on his resume that...
