    Then Joe Louis is 65-3, because after his comeback from his Max Schmeling loss he decided to fight a 0-0-0 boxer named Steve Ketchel



    Steve Ketchel wasn't an MMA star either, it was just 0-0-0 Steve Ketchel, a boxer who retired 0-3 taking his last loss from Strickland grandpa

    Because his business model works off of getting responses like OP's.

    It's Mendoza School, you've been sold.

    I dont mind FlIVd calling himself TBE as any champion should be highly confident and have some bravado. I dont think youll find a serious unbiased boxing "expert" that would seriously believe that he is really TBE. Come on! The resume alone puts any end to that discussion.

    TBE is a gimmick. Something used to put fans in the seats. Something to sale. The self proclaimed TBE is TBE at marketing, that's all. You can not be TBE without fighting an ATG in their prime. It's impossible. But did that Mofo market the hell out of every fight? Did he fool us, as boxing fans, for PPV dollars? Hell Yes. Did he fool the world, playing one of the best "love to hate", "Pay to see him lose", "Drag a MMA fighters and sale the F out of the fight", Villains, absolutely.
    No one can deny his skills, defense, counter punching, charisma. That's what he used to sale fights. He took what he did best, used it in the ring, and sold it out of the ring. TBE=Marketing.

    Was the WBO recognized as legit when Vic did it? I think is probably more his point...

    ...And Deontay Wilder calls himself one of the greatest fighters ever.

    Who cares?

    In todays sick and wicked global world. Floyd is TBE in boxing,it's prizefighting. 100yrs ago legacy was the thing,now money ruins everything.

    He lists Zab Judah on the opening post. Zab never held all the belts. He was minus the WBO, which is why I said that. Apparently he doesn't/didn't recognize it.
