Exactly! cc back.

Those "DOUBLE STANDARDS" if not taken into consideration lead to fights being basically popularity contests. Oh I like Ali better so he CAN hold and hit but Wlad can't...If we start to judge fighters like that then of course Ali is the best because no one else can do the things he did without getting chastized for it!

And I don't have Louis and Rocky over Ali because of race or politics but because Joe Louis defended his title 25 times...that's AWESOME, it's incredible, looking at the current heavyweights it's damn near impossible!!! Rocky was 49-0-0 and when compared with everyone's favorite fighter Nicolay Valuev there are considerations that need to be made: 1) Rocky fought anyone and everyone 2) Rocky was probably the smallest heavyweight champ ever 3) Rocky was an underdog at most times because the competition he faced was legit! 4) Valuev is going to DEFEND HIS TITLE (not warm up) against Owen Beck...show me where Rocky fought someone of that low of a calibre!
