A lot of losses in the 2015 fighters IMO because they aren't cherry picking- best fighting the best results in loses. 20 years from today guys like Provodnikov, Mathysse, Peterson will be overlooked because of their losses- & not how they got them.

3 fighters in 2004 were undefeated, one remains now.

2015 there are 4- who do you guys think will be the last man defeated from this list?

I think Terrence Crawford remains undefeated the longest. Hope he proves me right- for a while at least!

Postol, Garcia and Crawford minus Vargas.


I still think then undefeated Cotto beats Garcia. Mathysse upsets Hatton.
Crawford beats Judah to setup match against PBF. Would Floyd take the fight or briefly retire?

Honestly I think Crawford runs the table on todays list, if we're talking today, right now..yeh. Postal tough and Garcia finally stepped up but Crawford would punch holes in Garcia. Aside from Mayweather of 04' who I think would be undersized, or a Tsyzu though he was near retirement he would fair very well with rest of 04'. For fun TV 04' Cotto vs todays Provodnikov. Cotto was still in shoot out mode and being rocked badly in a couple fights to come. Cotto sharper but fun style fight. Looking at it insane to believe Corley and Harris are still fighting.

Only Holyfield has more mouths to feed than Corley!!!!
