    Johnson and Tarver lost to multiple guys Roy Jones wiped the floor with... The step up arugument is a myth with no basis whatsoever. Roy got old... it is simple, it happens, to everyone eventually.

    Well George Foreman savagely KOed Frazier who beat Ali who lost to Norton who Foreman also mopped the floor with then Foreman lost to Ali.

    A+B doesn't always = C in the Boxing World.

    Why was he taking shots from Montell Griffin in the first fight, and even bigger bombs from Tarver in the first fight?

    What does that have to do with his chin? He was taking the shots well.

    You make zero sense. You say he has always had a severe chin issue, but he's taken shots throughout his career. He took some good clean shots from Montell Griffin and was never in trouble. He took bombs from Antonio Tarver badly dehydrated and was never in trouble.

    I am a true fan and I'll still root for him. At the same time I am a realest and he was never the same fighter after going up to HW.

    Coming down from Heavy did hurt him ,but at his best he was brilliant .All fighters go on the decline at least we know at his peak he was one of the best .

    You ****ing SPASTIC.

    WHEN THE LINEAL CHAMPIONSHIP IS VACANT, AND A NEW LINEAL CHAMPION IS CROWNED
    is ONLY when it's definitely the "best vs best". That's CLEARLY what I said you cretin. I'm not gonna spell it out again.

    Get it into that tiny noob boxing mind of yours, ***** - I NEVER even hinted at anything else ever being "best vs best", you ****ing gnat

    Even Imperial1 himself began to understand that, so you're on your own here.

    realsoulja = exposed as a thick as pig**** boxing noob, and a laughing stock of the General forum.

    "But at least he talks big..."

    Why you so upset with all the capslock :lol:

    Look, you now agree with me that the lineal championship is not always the best vs best.

    Everyone makes mistakes, you had that ignorance and delusion once upon a time, and I passed on the knowledge by schooling you on the matter, hence you re edited your previous post out of shame. Its all good now though, you know are upon the truth and I have always been on the truth.
