    Yeah, Margarito cheated and so did Holyfield, Vargas, Roy Jones jr., Toney, Trinidad, Mosley etc...

    Fact is he got offered 8 million dollars to fight "the most feared man in boxing" at the time and still it didn't happen.

    Deontay Wilder. I'm guessing 70 or 80-0 over the course of his career.

    Roman Gonzalez is 41-0 35 knockouts, and he's only 27.

    You were talking about backing Stiverne. Yet you think Wilder will go 70 or 80-0?

    :think :huh

    i have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that floyd will get to 50-0 , the problem i have and i think i speak for 99% of people is the route he is likely to take to get there . if manny is avoided it will forever tarnish his legacy and he will never be able to walk down a street , do an interview , make a public appearance without someone throwing that at him everywhere he goes until the day he dies .

    floyd is not the brightest guy in the world and i think someone close to him needs to explain the impact of what his "legacy" is likely to look like , he wont be remembered for his unbeaten record , he will be remembered for one thing and thing only ... the man that ducked the best opponent out there his whole career .

    Chocolatito probably WILL top it, and he'll have done so fighting the best opposition available.

    On a side note it's just a meaningless record stat that has been crushed by MANY fighters in the past, so who even cares?

    This is a really good point that I think is overlooked far too often. steroid cheating shouldn't be tolerated in combat sports. Should be a lifetime ban and an assault charge imo.

    Margarito putting something semi-hard into his wraps is nothing compared to that. (If you don't believe me, go to the gym and spar a guy who puts a hardened handwrap in...no difference.)

    Toss Morales, Salido, and Marquez in there (come on, there's no way a 40yr old man suddenly has a massive acne breakout while simultaneously turning into the goddam Hulk and working with Memo...).

    Also want to add Mikey Garcia, Terence Crawford, and GGG to those i think could take their records up to 50-0. Thurman might have a shot as well imo.

    It's so unfortunate how bad the state of boxing is. It's rather embarrassing as a die hard fan.

    He will be rated above Lopez and Maricano, but lower than Calzaghe.
