    Johnson is an acknowledged all time top ten light heavy, a supreme counter puncher.
    Bivol is a straight up Euro style fighter who works behind his jab,he has beaten 5'7" Alvarez who has jumped multiple weights,and won a split decision over a 40 years old Beterbiev .Johnson is the better boxer imo and his resume shits all over Bivol's.

    Frazier was a dismal failure at weight lifting,which proves what? How did Gene Paul Anderson do when he tried boxing.
    Many of Moore's opponents were probably stronger than him,yet he beat them.

    Moore yo yo'd up to 206lbsand beat class heavyweights heavier than himself ,Bivol has not and will not do that.Beterbiev has openly said Usyk is too big for him.
    Ever seen Cooper v Urtain?


    Your point is irrelevant to boxing

    So no all you can do is results based analysis figured as much.

    My point was that a boxer who is able to lift over 300 Lbs is stronger then someone who can't which was the original argument which you of course missed and instead pivoted to something else typical.......

    And still a top P4P fighter who has destroyed everyone else he has fought

    I get this point, but I feel like it is a bit unfair.

    Modern guys at the top level are peaking physically for only a couple of fights a year. Guys in Moore's time had to stay in a certain level of shape for regular competition (not saying Bivol or some modern guys get sloppy between fights necessarily, but some do).

    It's all a bit apples and oranges.

    I would say that Moore trained to a physical peak for a modern fight is a scary prospect. Wrecks everyone.
