    If you don't have the discipline to consistently stay in shape and keep your weight down at a point where you are most effective, that's a reflection of you as a fighter. When assessing a fighter, you have to take into account the entire package. I never seen Leonard, Hearns or Duran come in out of shape, or quit during a world title match because of tummy aches.

    Exactly cause then you'd have to throw in Manny's constant need for an excuse (no matter how ridiculous, be it socks, gloves, shoulder, leg cramps, lucky punches, etc.) after every close fight or loss into account also

    The OP said specifically from 1980 on so duran is low because his lightweight reign was before that.

    These lists are sooo subjective.
    IMO Trinidad had a better career and resume than DLH.
    But he's not the crossover star DLH was, so he gets bumped.

    Three losses his entire career, all to ATG's.....
    He bumps a few people off that list, IMO.

    Get fat hand picking George Foreman out of that list. Have some shame.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I thought staying in shape and being an athlete was a big part of boxing?

    So a guy who doesn't have the discipline to stay in shape can go up and quit during a super fight because of a tummy ache or get destroyed in 2 rounds and we're supposed to say "this guy is great, he wouldn't have lost those if he was in shape and fighting at his best weight". The fuck is that shit?

    Beast mostly nobodies at LW, got outboxed an embarrassed on multiple occasions, VASTLY overrated.

    Yeah, but the fat ugly brit managed to stay in 2 weight classes his whole career.

    He was a great fighter but of course he got steamrolled by Floyd because a great Brit isn't going to beat a great American.
