    Jim Jeffries gets way to much credit for not fighting in a real heavyweight era and taking beatings even frightful by description...any other heavyweights beats up old, retired, small and on a losing streak fighter and the win is criticized or disregarded as expected outcome....his inflated reputation has him beating real ATG heavyweights and being compared to Liston, Frazier and Foreman...this is ridiculous and I stand by it

    Sugar Ray Leonard fought the wrong fight against Duran in Montreal . Duran quit in the rematch because Leonard made adjustments. Just like Zab Judah tried to get disqualified against Floyd Mayweather

    The vast majority of early 20th century (and earlier) fighters, including many of the legendary champs, would get destroyed by later 20th century fighters.

    Most top modern fighters use PEDs.

    Amateur boxing is boring.

    Post 75 Ali was a fraud who got a gift decisions against Young and in the third Norton fight and ducked a Foreman rematch.
    John Ruiz was only a contender because he was allowed to bend the rules and Don King wanted to appear to the Latino market.

    Yes, I agree, fully. I also think Shavers beat him.

    Yes, you are right. In fact, Valuev would kill him. Way too much size disparity here. A honey badger may be a better fighter than an elephant, but he's not going to win.

    People say you shouldn't judge fighters after they've passed their prime, but the fact is we do.

    Retiring at the right time is so important for the perception future fans have of you.

    I feel badly though, for the fighter that would use such a thing as his primary motivation.

    Michael Spinks ducked Tony Tucker

    Dwight Qawi would've beated Eddie Mustafa Muhammad.

    Dwight Davidson would've beaten Mustafa Hamsho and Thomas Hearns

    Pipino Cuevas pre-Hearns beats Duran

    Both Kenty and Davis jr beat Mayweather

    Pacquiao would lose to Cervantes and DeJesus
