    Id remove Trinidad from Vargas' resume. He lost his prime in that fight.

    What goes around comes around. The way showtime and the brits sabotaged Tszyu when he fought Hatton. Tszyu and his handlers can take some of the blame, for being absolutely clueless and agreeing to the terms of that bout but still, it is what it is.

    Vitali-Lewis is an interesting one. On one hand, Vitalis profile and rep got a boost. On the other hand, he lost a winnable fight for the title against a fellow ATG due to an unlucky cut.
    As a fan of his, I reckon I'd wipe that fight from history. Have him get a shot a little later. His fight v Byrd too would be better erased.

    Even if Fury lost to Usyk which is what you're implying here that's not a loss because Fury will show how to lose like a real man and retire....or how to lose and win the rematch.

    Nonito Donaire vs Jessie Magdaleno. Tbh, Magdaleno is not of the same caliber of Donaire and I really don't think this fight reflects Donaire's career. I also think it is quite sad that Donaire lost to a lower caliber fighter in one of his best weight classes (122) other than 118.

    Benn > McClellan

    Eubank > Watson

    For obvious reasons.

    Mundine's loss to Garth Wood and a bunch of others at the tail end of his career. I hate seeing any fighter lose to somebody they would've easily beaten in their prime.

    Andy Lee vs Saunders.

    I have no doubt Lee would have jumped into the ring with GGG after that fight. Instead, we got years of everyone playing GGG is lava.
