    Michael Moorer. It seems like we have a new post every week about the guy. Some folks straight up think he is terrible, others think he is better than he was and then there are the reasonable folks that see him for what he was. A skilled yet flawed fighter. The constant debate about him gets old.

    The last week or so, Mike Weaver.

    All-time, Rocky Marciano. But how you gonna not talk about The Rock on a classic boxing forum.

    He seems to be the most overrated and underated fighter of all time. I wish folks could just see him as what he was. An honorable champion that fought the best fighters in his era. The guy always gave 110% and deserves respect for that.

    If a fighter gets mentioned a lot it means they left a lasting impression.

    It was David Tua, then the fan favorite, Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson, the younger set really enjoys that one. Rocky Marciano, Cleveland Williams, and the past week, Mike Hercules Weaver, time to rest them after a lot of activity.

    One thing i noticed about this forum is if there are 2 threads with the same fighter in the title, people somehow think it's a good idea to make 1 or 2 more. There was one week where we had like 5 Ron Lyle threads. If you can't think of something original, please just don't make a thread.

    Other times you see a guy debated about in a certain thread then BAM BAM a couple of threads carrying his name go up instantly.
