    I interpret this as you not actually having anything that shows that Beterbiev wasn't better than them, or, at worst, in their class. One of the most common biases is refusal to change one's original belief. I thought Beterbiev wasn't the truth until I realized that he was.

    That's a coincidence,I interpret your reply as you not being able to back up your argument.
    As for my guys,here goes :

    Jerry Quarry beat Ron Lyle,Mac Foster and Earnie Shavers ( Quarry stopped Shavers in one round )
    George Chuvalo defeated Mike DeJohn.By the way Chuvalo gave the peak Muhammad Ali a very
    tough fight.And no,Beterbiev does not give the prime Ali anything like the same trouble.

    And then you look at the loss column and it doesn’t look so sweet. Btw Chuvalo lost wide to Ali.

    BTW Chuvalo was the only guy to legitimately last 15 rounds with the peak Muhammad Ali.That's sweet enough.Yes Terrell also lasted 15 rounds vs Ali but Ali carried Terrell just for the
    sole purpose of sadistically inflicting as much pain on the unfortunate Terrell as possible.
    Chuvalo was the only guy who legitimately lasted 15 rounds against the peak Ali,
    as in the 1964-67 version of the Greatest.

    Chuvalo "earned" the fight with Ali by losing his previous fight to Eduardo Corletti (191 lbs., record of 11-4-5 ). If the internet was around in those days, can you imagine the message board posters commenting on a champion fighting a "contender" who was 34-11, and who had lost his previous fight to a guy who was 11-4-5? Maybe the "good old days" weren't quite as good as these guys remember?

    Joe hits AB with a left hook and AB wakes up in Chechnya.

    Do you honestly think Beterbiev could last 15 rounds with the peak 1964-67 Muhammad ali ?

    George Chuvalo's physical strength was legendary.Look what Joe Frazier did to him.
