    Foreman-Frazier is an obvious one, Tunney-Greb is another one, then there's modern ones like Spence-Algieri, and Brook-Porter what else is there? Don't list fights where there's a shopworn fighter vs a younger fighter like mayweather-delahoya(even though it was a draw), and fury-klitschko.

    Benetiz vs Cevantes. Benetiz was maybe old enough to get a drivers' license.

    Although 25-0, the only guy of note on Wilfred's record , had a 223 bout record of
    134-70-19.....and we all know what the term "opponent" means.

    So then would Charles Hatley vs. Anthony Mundine not count, then? :think

    Hatley is much younger and fresher, but he was definitely 'brought in to lose' and Mundine had just recently beaten a much better known prime fighter in Rabchenko.

    Every single fight that takes place.

    once that bell rings that bs resumes gets kicked into the the grandstands.


    I pitty the fool who can't grasp that fact.

    This is true for any C, B and especially A level fighters.

    Novice question


    Yes, that's definition of a fact

    Resumes only fight fights on internet message boards. There's a reason everyone's a genius in picking fantasy fights here instead of being a multi-millionaire by betting on real boxing fights using the same logic.

    The same is true with film, to an extent. Always favoring the guy with the prettier film is a way fight fans trick themselves into thinking they're better predictors than they actually are. I'm just as guilty of it as the rest of us.

    Is this another attempt by mentally ill losers like you to justify Golovkin's entire career?.
