    If Moses would have won he would be declared champ and there would be no #1 contender.

    They should have left Fury out (he looked like dog poop against Wach and Makmudov) and instead had Parker at #3.

    Calling Moses a quitter is way over the top. He was firing punches while he couldnt even stand up straight anymore. He didn't have a second of giving up in him.

    Division feels empty to me without seeing Fury, AJ Wilder and Usyk in the top 10. Ive gotten so used to having them (well the big 3 at least) in there.
    also seems a bit weird not seeing parkers name in there.

    really is a brand new era.

    i hope the proper fights get made to do the division justice.

    Huni is at 10 & he schools Smokeless Joe. If Joe wants back into the top 10, let him fight Huni. That's if he's not too CHICKEN.

    I just don't get how these are supposedly such great ratings.

    -You have Fury on there, who has not won a significant fight in years, now.

    -You still have Moses on there, who has NEVER beaten a significant opponent, and never should have been on there in the first place.

    - Justis Huni? Why? Because of Frazier Clarke?

    Ajagba? Why? Because he signed with Zuffa?

    Then again, hard to make the case for anyone else, either. I guess I take it all back.

    He threw 400 punches. You see guys do that in fights all the time.

    Nobody is so gassed from exhaustion throwing 400 punches during a fight that they need to be hoisted off a stool by paramedics and taken to the hospital ... which just told him to go home because he had no injuries.

    It was a fun fight while it lasted, but him falling completely apart after throwing 400 punches ... the moment Hrgovic starts nailing him ... is a goddamn joke.

    Fatboys Adam Kownacki and Chris Arreola threw 2,100 punches in their fight, and nobody needed help standing at the end because they were so tired.

    It's ludicrous. Hrgovic stepped up, and Moses came apart.

    Like I said, if the last haymaker he threw in the ninth had knocked Hrgovic out, there would've been no ambulance. He would've celebrated in the ring.

    He's a con man. He acted like he was dead ... so much so people had to lift him up to put him on a stretcher, and he provided them with no assistance ... and he left the ring with medics holding his hand ... like he was dying ... only for the hospital to tell him to go home.

    Because he was just tired. No injuries.

    Some here act like no heavyweight has ever thrown so many punches in a fight before, so, of course, he couldn't go on. :rolleyes:

    It's ridiculous.

    Moses is a quitter. Nothing more. He quit when he had no injuries Saturday. He'll quit again when he actually is injured.

    Your entire position here is basically that because certain fighters can fight at a higher pace then what Moses fought at, then he shouldn't have gotten that gassed out.
    You really dont see how flawed that position is?

    Supreme condition, near prime, seasoned veteran Wladimir gassed out magnitudes worse then Moses did and was literally crawling on all fours against brewster, and he was throwing less punches and at a lesser pace then fat Arreola. So he quit?

    It shows a fundamental lack of understanding on how stamina works and how varied it can be for one fighter in different fights of his (based on experience and training), let alone between two completely different fighters with two different attributes and styles, especially when that fighter has *zero* experience going past 6 rounds and its now the 9th.

    Youre comparing seasoned veterans to a guy who had fought barely more then a dozen full rounds in his career and never went past the 6th before.

    The objective reality is there on video, Moses was fighting and engaging until the last seconds. He showed *zero* signs of submission, or desire of quitting, or wanting out of the fight. He never stopped throwing, never looked to the corner, never entered full retreat mode, never just covered up trying to invite a ref stoppage, eect. He was answering back and doing nothing a fighter that is or wants to quit does. He just had zero left in his tank or his legs.

    its no wonder why zero professional fighters or coaches, people who are intimately aware of the realities of gassing, share this view. Not even his rivals and sharpest critics are saying this.

    To say what he did was quitting is distorting the word and making up your own definition of quitting. He gassed out and I think its quite obvious to anyone whose been gassed out in a fight before.


    But we will see what happens in the future. If he goes on to *actually* quit in a fight at some point Ill come back and say maybe you were right lol.



    ...

    Ill be honest, Moses does seem to me... just personality wise and in his eyes... that he might have some quit in him, so I wont be overly shocked if he ever does it, but he didn't do it in this fight.
