    i've said it before and i'll say it again :

    a fighter is judged by who he fought and when - everything else is immaterial, especially in a sport which cheapens the term 'world champion' and 'undefeated'.

    the OP made the post related to accomplishments.

    You may say that even 10 times a day but that will not change
    the way other 99.9999% people are using in ranking boxers career achievements ....
    what you are using is just h2h comparison.

    So what is the point ... that Taylor beat Hopkins 2x and Forrest beat Mosley 2x
    and this should be only used in ranking them against others?

    what's more important than a head to head comparison in a sport which can easily side-swipe it's supporters with 'titles' and an 'undefeated' tag.

    Considering that Taylor has Hopkins 2x
    and Forrest has Mosley 2x

    I can't imagine why Hatton would ranked ahead of either one of them.

    2. Taylor

    the fight with bhop was close and bhop could have won both fights had it been 15 rounds. Plus, he didn't do well against winky wright

    NOPE. Not in reality. Not with BOXING POLITICS and DUCKING. **** that.

    USE YOUR GODDAMN EYES. Then factor everything together. That's reality.

    And he unified the titles, was linear champ, made 10 defenses of the linear title, and beat every top contender at lhw outside of Jones, picked up a belt at cw ...

    DM didn't have the big fall from grace that the others did, but then he never really had a big signature win (or pair of signature wins) that the others did.
