I agree completely. There should be a separate board for this kind of thread. a fantasy matchup board maybe?

People are getting carried away with the debate and it robs on them. the next day they are convinced that fighter A will surely beat fighter B from the past.
With respect and no one asked but I couldn't disagree more.It totally removes historical perspective and discussion for the board and the sport.No one is 100 %saying...and simply could not.... that retired fighter a beats active fighter b but boxing is a continuum of eras and every fighter,with the exception of Holyfield,will retire one day.I think it speaks volumes when a guy is inj atg debates.
