    I've already explained this a bunch of times. I think he's overrated based off my anecdotal evidence, there are countless amount of fans that will rate him as the best HW of all time. Just like people rating Loma as an ATG and just favor him over everyone h2h. These fans like to give Tyson/Loma extra credit for things they haven't achieved. For example people say all these HW ducked Tyson so he's the GOAT. No. He has to actually achieve it to get that credit. Same as Loma, people want to credit Loma for beating Rigo but bring up their opinion on Rigo ducking as if it's relevant to the credit he deserves.

    How ironic when you have never even watched Canizales fight.

    I was living in Japan when he fought Taguchi. Nice try! Go to the RBR I bet I was there. GOT EM!

    Oh, right, well.. /thread.

    LOL This is debate though.. You really should have the resources & ability to flesh your opinion out when you are engaging people. That's basic stuff here...

    It's all good though. I like the banter..

    "You really should have the resources & ability to flesh your opinion out when you are engaging people."
    Sure. I answered your question in my previous post. Now tell me how you gauge fan opinions. I'm guessing you're going to avoid that question for the 50th time?

    Every fighter has fans that go overboard don't they?

    Yes, but for Tyson, GGG and Loma it's on a different level. People act like these guys accomplished what Mayweather and Pacquiao have done.

    I would go to that RBR unfortunately that doesn't exist. That was your first comment about Canizales on this forum as well. Canizales hasn't beaten anyone of note. His resume mostly consists of noname Venezuelan bums, most of them have losing records. He also fights in a weak division. Saying that he isn't worse than Salido is just asinine.

    Can't the same be said for many fighter's?

    Does the GGG fanbase put him on Floyd's level?

    How do you gauge how fans rate a fighter? Simple question. You were clowning on the fact that I used YT/Forums, so I'm curious where you form your opinion from.

    The Taguchi fight could have gone either way. Are you saying Taguchi is a bum? He's not worse than Salido. I rate Taguchi over Salido too.

    Anyways, I'm guessing YOU'VE never seen Canizales, which is why you're trying to bash him. Or you're pushing your Loma agenda.

    Sure, but obviously to an extent. Floyd and Pacquiao achieved an extraordinarily amount more than Loma. That being said Loma is still 30 so is it possible he achieves what they've done? Yes.
