No, stupid.

Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I think this (along with Floyd vs Corrales) is one of the best examples of the sweet science. Pernell giving JCC a boxing lesson and getting robbed of a victory.

It's easy to be slick against inferior opposition, but at 87-0 at the time JCC was one of the greatest pressure fighters we've ever seen. He was also one of the best finishers with 74 KO's in those 87 wins.



Brilliant performance.
You presented/wrote this post like you were going to get some arguments about JCC being the best or one of the best ever. Lol
Nobody is going to argue that Rios, Gatti, or Maidana are at the same skill level as Floyd, Rigo, Ward, and especially JCC.
You are setting there on your pontificating ass telling every other boxing fan what they should and should not like.
Fuck off! I know what I like and want to see. I don't need a boxing guide.
You are never going to change boxing fans mind's about what they like and want to see.
