    Didn’t you already acknowledge that their opinions can be biased? Anyway, you’re free to believe whatever ridiculous and dishonest opinions you want. I just don’t get what you have against people who have the common sense to recognize absurd opinions when they see them.

    You write out some long ass rants just to pollute this thread with your pointless whining, and I’m the one on a period? Got it.

    He was thumbed in the eye, not ..he didn't obliterate anything until round two but would have won anyway BC Bramble was a head case.

    Well if it lasted 2 rounds it sure can't be an obliteration :lol:

    The guy had never even been dropped from what i can gather and Rosario destroys him in 2 rounds, took the fight clean out of him. Incredible really.

    Bramble was always a head case - didn't stop him winning the title and defending it impressively. Premature or not he was rated around #2 or #3 P4P at the time.

    I met Bramble in 1992. He was almost hit by a 40 pound weight someone was going to hit him with BC a joke was played on him and was ready to crack Bramble....

    The guy was a high school fitness teacher and amatuer boxer at about 5'11 215.

    I just happened to be there bench pressing. I knew who he was BC I watched Tuesday night fights I was 18. Some guy told bramble to mess with him who was a teacher from school too , tough guy he was scared and ready to swing the dumb bell....

    He was relieved to find it was a joke. We were the only ones who knew who Bramble was...

    I clicked on the Morales one expecting some ridiculous stuff, but picking himself as the best fighter he faced was truly outrageous. The man has no self awareness.

    Marquez saying that Pacquiao was the best defensive fighter he fought. Even the RING magazine interviewer wondered why he didn't pick Mayweather for that category.

    https://www.ringtv.com/508347-best-faced-juan-manuel-marquez/

    "Then came the most one-sided setback of his career. When Floyd Mayweather Jr. ended his first retirement, he chose the smaller Marquez as his opponent. Mayweather won by a near-shutout decision. Curiously, although Marquez was pressed by The Ring, he didn’t pick Mayweather in any of the 10 categories here".

    BEST DEFENSE
    Pacquiao: "He is great at closing his defense, he has a good guard and it is very hard to land (a clean punch). After four fights with him, I was able to know him better. I also learned his mistakes. Fedchenko also had great defense".

    Am I missing something? The link takes me to Sherdog, but I don't see any of the interviews.

    Alan Minter saying Kevin Finnegan was better overall than Hagler was funny. So Hagler beats Finnegan 2/0, Finnegan goes 0-3 vs. Minter, Hagler smashed Minter, but we are supposed to believe he thinks Finnegan is better? Not buying it.

    The worst I've read of these has to be from Lennox Lewis. The title itself, 'Best I've faced', appeared to be lost on him. All he wanted to do was laud himself. If one ever wondered why he and Larry Merchant got into it in his post fight interview after the Klitschko fight, one only has to read his 'Best I've Faced'. Merchants comment, "Lennox, it just doesn't seem you want to give him credit for anything at all!", becomes quite clear.
