Does defending against a lot of bums make a fighter great?

That's exactly what Tyson did. He fought a bunch of stiffs in the 80s.

 

thanks for going to all the trouble to repost my old comments...i had forgotten some of them....i got the hopkins - kovalev fight wrong...but then again who knew kovlev would come in as a cruiserweight and doctor his gloves before the fight, giving him three significant advantages in terms of age, weight and punching power.

ortiz will be back, though. and i just cant wait for wilder, stiverne or one of them to get in there with klitschko and tear his head off.

 

If they dominate an era the way Wlad does, then yes. Any boxing fan worth their salt can watch Wlad perform and recognize that he's an ATG in terms of skill. Especially for a HW.

 

Boxing doesn't work like that though just because Jennings and stiverne are better than guys who happened to KO wladmir doesn't mean they'll be able to do it aswell, that's just weird triangle theory which has been disproven time and time again.

McCall KOd Lennox and Holyfield is way better than mcall so he would definitely KO Lennox right? I mean how can you have any doubt that he would knock Lennox...oh wait.

Torrecampo and signsurat KOd Pacquaio...we all know that Cotto, margarito, Barrera, morales, clottey, rios and Bradley are way better than torrecampo/ signsurat so they would definitely KO Pacquiao right? I mean how can you have any doubt that they would knock Pac...oh wait.

 

Yeah they're even ****tier
