I think we are missing the point here, guys.

To be World Heavyweight Champion (as opposed to some belt holder) is the elite of the elite. The guys we are talking about are being spoken about, like Dempsey, is still being remembered 90 years after he fought. These are immortals.

These guys were fantastic, GREAT, fighters. 49 and 0 is phenomenal - any fucker can lose early in their career, any heavyweight can suffer a one punch knockout, anybody can have a bad day in the office.

We, as real fans of the sport, should be remembering these guys for their VICTORIES as it is that which separates them from the rest. Constantly decrying their supposed weaknesses just means that everybody else must have been absolutely totally useless, and our sport therefore is cheapened.

Do people say Cruyff was shit because he didn't tackle? Do we say maradona was not an ATG because he did not have a right foot?
