Big CC for you my friend, that's really what I meant to say I know the thread wasn't crystal clear, but a key aspect was that it had to have been fighters who didn't attempt to make anything or what they should have out of a big win, not just fighters who got lucky one time.
Now I'm even more confused as to why you put Mayweather on the list
