I also never said Tucker did not fight top ten fighters. What I said was he was inconsistent against top ten fighters. And just to make it clear I am not talking about fighters that may have been ranked by the IBF. I am talking about Ring ****zine ranked fighters, or true top ten.
In fairness to Blubber Douglas he was ranked by the Ring. However, he was heartless and quit when he fought Tucker. Then Tony could not, like most of the other average heavyweights of the day, defend the title even one time. And after he lost to Tyson Tucker fought some lousy opponents and lost to any decent heavyweight he fought. But I forgot you are not basing anything on resumes so I guess that doesn't matter.
The reason I even said anything about Holmes resume was because, and I am paraphrasing, you stated that the Klit bros have fought bums and then stated that Holmes could have easily beaten both bros. I have top ask what was that opinion based on?
I was just pointing out that Holmes fought his share of pretty bad opponents and whether you want to debate that or not doesn't change that fact that is in fact true. That leads me into the resume statement.
How can you judge a fighter going head to head if you don't look at their resume? If that is the case then I say that Blubber Douglas was the best and could have beaten them all, and why? Because I really do believe that he had great skills but had no heart and was ultra lazy. But again if you feel as if I have lost the debate more power to you and I will still sleep well tonight.
As far as Sanders and Wlad is concerned there is no doubt that it was a legit stoppage. But the fact is that Sanders did in fact have heavy hands he still had to knock Wlad down four times to stop him. To me that is not proof that Wlad has a glass chin.
If Wlad was stopped by the likes of Chris Byrd and Eddie Chambers now that would be solid proof that Wlad has weak whiskers. But that is not what has happened. Therefore I am of the opinion that Wlad's supposed glass chin is highly overrated and has been blown way out of proportion.
As far as Smith and Witherspoon are concerned I give any fighter a chance it just depends on how much of a chance. And considering that both of them were average fighters with average punching power I would not give either one of them much of a chance at all. But, that is just my opinion based on what I have watched and by what I believe I know and understand.
As far Tyson is concerned he lost to Douglas in 1990. In case you don't know 1990 is part of the 1990's. He was also out for what four years and he was still able to comeback and win two alphabet belts. And why was that? Maybe it was because his opponents were pretty average fighters? That really wasn't a question because they in fact were.
In closing I believe that your hatred or strong dislike for the Klit brothers has clouded your judgement. Either that or you just don't know what you are talking about. But again that is just my opinion and you are still free to feel as if you have won the debate. Have a good one!
