    I fully agree with the last 2 takes.

    But Holyfield when he just moved up to heavyweight, could barely be classified as such. Up until the Dokes fight he looked vulnerable as he was still growing his body and muscle (we all know how nowadays). At that time Tyson would have obviously beaten him, as would a number of other of the top guys at the time.

    1. Leonard had the weakest career of the Four Kings
    2. Canelo might not be Robinson, Duran or Pacquiao, but he's the closest thing we've currently got and we should appreciate cinnamon while we've got him

    Crawford and Inoue are better boxers than Canelo.

    Jones and Whitaker were better than Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    Usyk beats Fury and Wilder.

    So you're going to sit here with a straight face and say Taylor beating Ramirez prograis and postol is better than Spence beating Porter brook danny garcia Mikey garcia and soon to be ugas??? Lmfao!!! If it was Spence who had Taylor's resume and Taylor's had Spence's you know damn well you wouldn't say it. You like Taylor's so you're overrating his thin resume. There's no case that can be made for Taylor having a better resume than spence.

    If you want to rave about beating Danny Frog Face and a fighter half his size who couldn't beat Sandor Martin, be my guest. I'll be over here in the real world.

    Someone’s beaten me to it in the first page, but İsrail Madrimov beats both Charlo and Castano.

    Shakur Stevenson beats anyone at 130&135 maybe except Lomachenko.

    Not sure if a Hot take, but I always felt Oliver McCall could've beaten Wlad in the late 90's/early 2000s had that been made.

    I haven't ducked the question, I answered it plainly. He hasn't fought opposition as good as Porter, and he isn't as proven. But use your ****ing eyes. It's clear he's more skilled and more talented. Are you gonna tell me Ennis isn't as good as Lipinets because his resume isn't as good? No, you're not. And you weren't before their fight either.

    And if that doesn't satisfy you and your weird little ego, Prograis' two best wins are over Barranchyk and Indongo.

    Who has Crawford beaten? His best win is still Viktor Postol who Taylor beat in his 13th fight. Taylor's resume creams all over Crawfords, Spence is closer but I still favour Taylor's.

    1 and 3 clear Nortons imo, 2nd one is a narrow but clear Ali.

    I was a big McCall fan.. Ao I MAY be tad biased :D. But at the time, I fee McCall still had enough in his to get the upset. Especially w/ Wlad's shaky chin.
