Three fights. 3. Who cares what a guy does in his first three fights?

When people claim your the greatest amateur fighter ever and a for sure pound for pound fighter it matters

No, I still don't think so, its just nitpicking to me. Its three fights

In fact I'm proposing a new rule, no one can complain about who somebody fights in his first three fights. I doubt it will pass. His fourth fight though is fair game

You like what they are doing with David Lemieux but not Danny Jacobs? That is a MASSIVE contradiction.

I know. I admit it is. But David is on a strategic plan laid out by Russ Abner and his team. He is 17-0 with 17 KO's. He is being brought along very carefully because he is young and did not have the great amature career that Jacobs had. Look, with Jacobs, he has now found a groove. Also, his frequency of fights has been superb. It's just that his early wins made it appear that he was a KO artist which he is not. I truly believe David is. Time will tell.

Your point, however, is taken.
