I have a funny thing i do with tyson, in my mind hes undefeated and the greatest fighter of his generation because i feel like he could've beat anyone hes ever faced if he stayed disciplined and kept improving, but unfortunately that's not true and that's just the looney world i created for myself.
Thats quite common amongst Tyson fans to be fair ;DQuote:

Lewis kept hitting Tyson trying to score 'points'. Tyson was only interested in a knockout, which Lewis as the 'peak' fighter should of done as well. Mike just got tired from Lewis' 'points scoring', and thus got stopped, but came out the fight the winner.
We know then that Mike Tyson died. But seemingly as ruse; the Danny Williams and Kevin McBride fights were a front for an organization that laundered money to help those who were owed money from Tyson. Dwight Qawi pulling off the Tyson impression rather well I thought.
Of course we now know Tyson the genius faked his own death to regain his fortune and is now once again the most powerful man in the sport. A position that an unbeaten Heavyweight Champion of the World rightly deserves!

Not really that way. Throughout history including the old days when there was a smaller number of divisions it could still be murky. We have numerous belts & sometimes its a joke to distinguish who is the man & sometimes its obvious despite the numerous titlists on offer.Quote:

Looking back they were titlists holding down a strap but not the de facto crown of champion.
Guaranteed many years are blurry for a lot of divsions with too many titlists with no one stranding out, which is unfortunate but there are some instances when boxing fans know who is the man.
Now, regarding Haye who I like but has started being a dick. He won a title of Valuev who gained the title by beating Ruiz after they stripped the title of Chagaev who would lose to Wlad who with the exception of WBC title has unified the major belts, so (imo), is the man although there is debate in some quarters in regards to Vitali having a stake. So Haye won a title but many do but was not a champ (pedantic way to deal with it but it's how I make sense even if others don't agree).
I take my own view on boxing which is not the norm, so I put an asterisk on certain bouts but still accept the situation also. Its a muddled methodology but it works for me. You seem to have different viewpoint which I used to go by but found to be wearisome eventually, but hey - each to his own.
That depends. Where's Fighter A from? If he's from the US than he clearly got screwed by a shady referee. If he's from the UK than he was clearly out on his feet and should be thankful the ref saved his lifeQuote:

Broner at least one loss
Carlos Molina deserves more recognition
Mathysse should be undefeated
This is nonsence because you can make it up to suit your own agenda.
ODH should have decisions over Shane (2nd fight), Tito, Floyd but lost to Sturm, Pernell, Ike.
some of these post sound more like a distortion of reaality
I have never defended him, I hate him.Quote:

its a bit of a far fetched way to justify david haye not being HW champ tho dont you think?
if we have had multiple titles for the last 30 years then there must have been multiple world champions who werent the number 1 so therefore in your mind only titlists and not world champions, so who decides who are the world champions nowadays? you?
