    Well, we don't have an undisputed HW champion for a quarter of a century. Not the best boxer stylistically, but in a H2H sense. Many mistakenly blame Tyson Fury as an individual for such a situation, and that situation was current for more than a decade before Tyson Fury appeared on the scene. As long as it is so, it will be:
    And that's just one drop (but the most important), in a sea of reasons (42 champions per category, etc.).

    Because boxing is better than every other sport.

    So reminisces about it hit harder.

    Yet your the only one on this topic that believes that let that sink in for a moment.

    I very much doubt you've ever seen the likes of Jose Napoles to have such a silly opinion.

    Duran beat the likes of Palomino and a prime Leonard at Welterweight, but he loses to Spence who went life a death with Porter log off please.

    They’re not going to be favoured by many, as they’re WW’s who haven’t beaten any great fighters.

    Crawford isn’t very similar to Ray, and both Ray and Marvin were both faded when they fought.

    How can Spence do everything that Marvin could do, when he hasn’t got Marvin’s power, and he very rarely fights really aggressively.

    It’s just more silliness from you.

    If you want to debate, I’m here.

    If you’re going to be stupid, then please do me the courtesy of not replying to me.

    I don’t know why you can’t just come and have a decent debate.

    It shouldn’t be difficult.

    Your description of Robinson doesn’t even warrant a response from me.
