We got a deep pool of talent...people just need to be a bit more accepting.
Maybe so, but just because you are brilliant, it does not make you a superstar IMO. I say a Superstar, is a non British fighter my old dear has heard of.
Agreed...but notice I said star caliber...not Super Star.

I think that alot of the fighters that will be GOATs are going unnoticed or highly scrutinized right now.

Take Barrera for instance...he is one of the greatest of my gen. No doubt...but the Pac loss...the one TKO loss has RUINED him in the eyes of many fans...don't you see that as being a bit bullshittish or fickle?

I do.

I just can't write off one of the better boxers of the last 5-10 for one or two losses especially when he's got 67 fights under his belt with 2 wins & 42 of those he's won by knockout.

Don't make sense.
