    No, Mayweather cheated like a *****, by not making the contracted weight. Had Mayweather cut down to 144 or whatever he was supposed to weigh, it would have been a tougher fight. Bradley beat him fair.

    Is it not a fair criticism to say someone was injury prone?
    I will add had to reschedule some fights due to being injury prone with bad hands

    You seem to want something to be said and that is the problem.
    I have already told you. Calzaghe is not my favourite fighter and that arguably my favourite fighters were Mayweather and SR Leonard. Cant see why all this troubles you so deeply??? Weird

    My criticism of Wilder is that he's too powerful. Everyone in the division is running scared of his power and any legitimate opponent that steps up deliberately pops positive.

    you keep reiterating Calzaghe isn't your fave fighter, but I think it's to avoid saying something critical about him, as your replies are proving.
    it isn't Floyd and leonard you've been creating alts for with the purpose of nuthuggery, it's Calzaghe. or shall we ask the enigmatic toni Clifton his opinion?
    still waiting for a genuine criticism.

    Yeah, I strongly agree. But I rank Vitali as tied with his brother at #10 all time as a HW ATG on legacy. And that is a minority opinion on this board; most rank Wlad above Vitali on legacy. I think Vitalis (much) fewer and (much) better losses, and beating better comp at the very top top(Sanders and Peter more decisively), as well as his better rounds won ratio, at least equal out Wlad's better raw number of toppish wins. But I acknowledge there is a rational argument that Wlad should be rated higher due to collecting more wins.

    Vitali was the better fighter, if they had fought, Vitali would have won, no doubt about it, but they would never have fought each other for no amount of money, it's true..............their mother would have beaten the hell out of both! Vitali took care of Vlad when they were young, he cared about his brother a lot. Vitali blamed himself for Vlad's losing to Joshua, Vitali told Vlad to just take it easy on Joshua and box, rather than knock Joshua out and take a chance. Vlad had Joshua out after the knockdown, had him drunk until the 11th round, let him get back into the fight! Vitali would have finished Joshua, but Vitali wanted Vlad to not take any chances. Vitali said he wanted to fight Joshua, but he does not have the time, since he is Mayor of Kiev, the 8th largest city in Europe, Vitali plans to run for president of Ukraine in the future. Vitali still works out and still spars..............he could knock Wilder out right now and I would pick him to beat Joshua at age 46, that's how good he really is..........

    Floyd, his brittleness.

    Ward, his non-athleticness

    Bhop, Age

    Froch, defense

    Wlad, self belief. I think he’s prone into doubting himself

    Bud, tighten that defense

    Spence, limited, needs to broaden his skill set

    JMM, still a get hit to hit fighter

    Bradley, too much heart, should’ve been more of an *******, not be such a good guy

    Gassiev, start faster and get off sooner, tighten defense

    Canelo, stamina but he’s a muscle man.

    Horn, I like this guy but he can smother his own work, needs refinement

    All I can think of right now

    Parker: too nice to get away from his terrible trainer and manager and develop his game.

    Fury: just too much to talk about.

    What is Floyd's brittleness? Your criticism of BHop is his age? What about a younger BHop?

    His hands. He fights with a broken fight virtually every fight. It was his biggest weakness. Young Bhop was fresh out of jail only boxing to keep himself from not going back to it. He fought in the most careful manner but dedicated himself to his craft and health. Maybe he could’ve tried to be more entertaining but I don’t care about that because guys that are forced to go out on their shield are dime a dozen. Bhop is a rare gem.
