    1. That Canelo is greater than Larry Holmes.

    2. That Golovkin was just as good as Hagler.

    3. That Lamont Roach is more skilled than Sonny Liston.

    Sweet Holy fucking Christ about that third one...

    And the week isn't even over.

    I heard on Tik Tok that neither Hearns or Hagler would have won titles in today’s era, followed by “we done with the 80s.”

    I’m getting tired of the internet…

    Man, I've read Bivol is a top 5 LHW ever.

    Vehemently arguing for it too.

    I think it's very arguable he isn't top 20 in terms of resume, but I've got an old timey list. He sure as fuck isn't top 10 though.

    He's not top 10 on resume or H2H.

    I'm willing to die on the hill that he isn't better than Beterbiev; Beterbiev is simply ancient. I think Beter would have whupped Bivol's ass 6 years ago.

    In the pantheon of light heavyweight greats, Bivol is closer to Virgil Hill level than he is to Spinks, Charles, Jones, Moore level.

    100% agreed.

    Although don't get me started on Beterbiev, he's just as overrated there imo.

    Bakole would beat 70s Foreman was one of the daftest opinions I've read while lurking on there.
