    Lol they are all bums I listed, especially Devon Alexander who is 2-8-1 in his last 11 fights since he was 26 years old. Feather fisted, glass jawed, Boring as hell plain vanilla..

    Devon isn’t a bum bro, did you follow boxing back then?

    Yeah I remember the boring fight with Bradley, the way Matthysse beat him up and got robbed, the way mediocre Kotelnik schooled him and got robbed. If you were to write a weakest list of unified champs in any division, it would be dominated by fighters like I just listed from that one division. A bum like Devon Alexander should never have won a world title, shows how weak the division was.

    That "bum" Devon Alexander beat Maidana far easier than Floyd did.

    You guys really overuse the term "bum."

    Because comparing it like that is how boxing works, yeah sure.

    Alexander has 9 losses on his record, and should have about 13.

    Josh Taylor have a better resume here (of course not in the entire career Crawford is too far now). But Josh Taylor I don't know what to think about this unified champ ? He declined very fast and he always won all his world titles fights very closed (except for Apinun Khongsong).


    But maybe he declined very fast because the division was too good too..

    Crawford. His resume stinks at 140.

    Crawford conquered the weaker division, but let's be completely honest Josh's era was not a "murderer's row" either and there is no one that would beat Crawford from either era (including Josh during his run).

    Josh Taylor’s run at 140 was actually very good. He wasn’t getting A+ wins, but was still a solid and very respectable run. Crawford’s run was crap and completely forgettable outside of Postol. I think Taylor also deserves bonus points for being really entertaining along the way as well.

    Crawford. But I think they are almost the same generation here? When we look at Taylors career hes a 140 great while for Crawford 140 was a stepping stone at the start of his career.
