    Plenty had Campbell beating Linares. Does he not get the same credit extended to him as well?

    It's fair if you want to; but it's easier for the time being to treat the results as what they are: losses. Both are known for losses, so comparing losing - or arguably winning efforts - is pretty much the résumé comparison here.

    I’m not American, mate :thumbsup:

    So long as I’m addressing you, of course race comes into play. Until you start posting without bias, it will remain that way. Like I said, everything you post is directed by a narrative which is clear to see - as @George Crowcroft has also pointed out.

    Cruz a tier below the top dogs in the division and you know it. Tell me, if Cruz is such a great name in the division, why didn’t he get the rematch? Off the back of the last fight Tank was to make significantly more than he would have against Rolly. Cruz best win is 2022 Gamboa ffs.

    You don’t want to prop Campbell up as a world beater, but will do so for Cruz… exactly my point.

    You’re not helping yourself here.

    Campbell was harder to beat, he was a former olympic gold medalist.

    In your opinion you forgot to add that. I added in accomplishments and world titles which can't be refuted. Yes pedraza is better than Campbell he proved he could win a world title while Campbell couldn't. I'd rather have Pedrazas career over Campbell all day long. Pedraza will go down as the better fighter of the two.

    Barrios would probably knock Campbell out. Campbell doesn't go a full 12 with thurman

    And the saddest thing is that in the most hyped up, supposedly the best division in boxing, this is probably the most legit guy.

    Super-Flyweight wipes it's ass with 135.

    Pedraza had like 9lbs on Loma and he's at 140 now

    He even fought at a catchweight of 144 a few fights ago

    He's a big guy

    Who gives a ****??? So did Audley. How much did his gold medal mean in pro boxing when he couldn't win a world title??? Failing when he stepped up.

    I thought linares beat campbell, but thats just my opinion. When you look at tank and Garcias resume as a whole, Tanks resume stands out more than Garcias, because of his body of work. Luke Campbell is a very good fighter, but judging on a win 2 win ratio, Tank has the better wins collectively. Pedraza is a better single win than Campbell imo.

    In my - far more informed - opinion, yes. Pedraza has never beaten anyone as good as Mendy; both are known for their losses but Luke did better against Loma; had a more impressive showing against Garcia than Pedraza did Tank and should've won against a prime Linares. The world titles at that point are arbitrary, because Pedraza wouldn't have won a world title if he had to fight the same guys Campbell did. And he wouldn't have won if he had to fight Campbell.

    Barrios wouldn't knock out ****. Beating scrubs like Ryan Karl does not equate to stopping Luke Campbell. And I'm actually one hundred percent positive that Campbell would see the final bell against that version of Thurman.

    Cruz is Tank's best win, hands down, and that "win" is highly debatable. Santa Cruz is his biggest actual name due to his popularity, but the reality is, that's like Canelo KOing Khan. Pedraza was on his way out of the division, and was either going to drop the belt or get paid a lot of money to lose it, he chose option B, and he's currently fighting at 140 two divisions North. The reality is, there's an asterisk next to everyone of Tank's best wins. Then there's Romero, whose best win is Yigit, and Barrios, who's best "win" should be a loss over the completely unproven Akhmedov. That's P4P one of the worst resumes in the sport.:lol:

    It is, and I wouldn't say otherwise. Although I would say that it should be; Tank's been at world level for more than five years now.

    My point was that Pimp dismissing Campbell as "of all people", was laughable. Davis' résumé would actually have some credibility if he beat someone like Campbell. Not that it's even a given he'd win.

    I don't see any reason to think that Pedraza is a better win than Campbell, but each to their own.

    The Ring Magazine actually scored the Linares fight for Campbell and Cool Hand Luke lost his father to Cancer two weeks before that fight and he was in the US at the time by himself and obviously hurting deeply

    "It was hard for me. I was close to my dad. All the family was together at home and I was on my own, no one around me. I'm glad people had comfort at home. But I feel bad because I wanted to be with my dad.

    "I probably cried once a day. I had to try and shut feelings off. After the fight I had a good cry"

    You're really bothered here lol! I already said Campbell was a quality operator he's no bum. On the other hand people like you want to act like Cruz is a bum and Pedraza is not good at all.

    I dont give a **** what George has to say I stand on business and I don't fold. None of you will change my opinion here i know boxing. I do know yall extra salty tonight though and I'm having a great laugh at yall expense lol.
