Stop basing fighters ability off their old/worst fights

Dude, Michael Jordan is an icon.
Wilder is oh well.. Unrecognisable on the street.

 

He's done 100% of what his promoters have asked of him... Fact is he has been a pro for nearly a decade, in the top 10 HWs for 4 years and a HW champ for 3 and Stiverne is his best win... That's disgraceful.

 

A bad KO loss in ams should be allowable. Larry Holmes for example, two 1st round am KO's to the same southpaw, both times a stretcher case.

 

Your right. One plays a children's game, the other one fights. I don't care how terrible Wilder is, he still a fighter and in my opinion holds more weight than any other athlete in game sports.

 

The irony of a guy like Blizzyjizz liking a post this this. This is a guy who constantly bashes Manny Pacquiao's two knockout losses as a poverty stricken, malnourished and drained Teenage Flyweight. Doesn't get any more ironic than this.

 

Because preparedness should be a factor you account for when considering greatness.

How good they are on their best day is not their measure of greatness any more than how good they are at their worst. Buster had a good night, Ali had bad nights, both must be accounted for. There is a chance Buster Douglas shows up better than predicted and a chance Ali show up worse. With Floyd Mayweather there is no chance you're not going to see TBE. It's the crux of his whole argument.

You can forgive SRR of his bad nights but you can not remove his ability to show up unprepared and convinced he'll be fine from his character. In dream fight it's hardly ever brought up because people just want to compare best example to best example but greatness is a measure of career and in his career SRR showed up drunk, Floyd would have never that. SRR's career has a dark side because SRR's talent has a dark side.

 

Exactly.

 

I respect Manny. You don't respect Floyd. That's the difference between us as fans.

 

A rematch isn't pointless.

 

You clowns were bashing him.

 

Well maybe not pointless if folk wanna see it but there’s bigger fish to fry,he lost to Salido,move on I say

 

its only natural. for example it looks like hurd vs lara is gonna happen. how can u not look at laras performance vs angulo?
