I think boxing needs to have more big fights happen and for it to come to fruition we need to rid boxing of the alphabet soup titles AND more importantly the Don King's and Bob Arum's!
What we need is/are....
1 title for each weight class and no promoters but a league and guaranteed money, and pensions for retired fighters just like other pro sports
What the hell does that got to do with fighters with undefeated records? Which is what this thread was about. You just mentioned a bunch of things that (while, I agree with) got nothing to do with what Boxing Fraud asked for.
Agreed.
Thing is...where does the problem lie in a fighter being undefeated?
One problem I have is this...if a fighter is undefeated...no matter whom he beats...he'll never beat a worthy adversary. Critics will always say that a fighter was too old...too green...too this...too that.
It's a no win situation...unless ofcourse you are the critic.
Also...because a fighter is held in such high regard by his fans...this does not make him overly hyped nor does it make him a greater fighter than the next...it means quite simply that he is both of which were just stated...but to his fans..& again...there is nothing wrong with that.
Is there? Not in my book...unless ofcourse you are the critic...of which I have been overly critical of undefeated & or over hyped fighters.
The point is...the main problem I see other than the ABC's & 123's lies within us...the fans.
We take our heroe's & champions for granted.
We (as fans) applaude one fighter for defeating a shop worn veteran & lift him up to Lordly status...then we (as opposing fans) pick apart anothers record & critique him for doing the very same...it's a ridiculous pattern that repeats itself...daily...amongst us all.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
