Let me ask you this in turn, who in the last 5 years had a truly stellar fight record? I mean fights against people in their prime, no controversy wins or anything of the such?
I'll give you one example, Sugar Ray Robinson essentially made the Black Murderers Row famous because even he didn't want anything to do with them, he had on many occasions not even show up at the bout, he almost always tried to price himself out of many fights. But all that said and I done I don't think he fought bums or cherry picked his opponents. It's just that its their attitude gets in the way of business. Very arrogant and believing things should bend towards their will rather than towards reality and as such those previously mentioned events happen.
Long story short, no one in boxing truly has a solid resume of any kind if you look at it too deeply simply because what matters is how the man was in the fight not how he performed in the next or the one before.
