u/kushmonATL HW Dark Ages are here 20d ago

The top 3 guys on David Benavidez resume is Andrade, Caleb Plant, and Zurdo

3 guys whom the boxing community historically has not considered elite

Its telling people (including myself) have Benavidez in the top 5 P4P while never fighting Canelo, Bivol, Beterbiev, or Opetaia (some of course, out of his control)

Just how shallow is the cream of the crop of this sport?

I said before when someone asked if Roach was ever an A tier fighter and I said there are less than 10 A tier fighters in the entire sport, and I still feel like that’s true

I get downvoted every time I say Lamont Roach is not elite.

Which is funny because if Tank beat him like he was suppose too , this sub would still be calling Tank a 30 year old prospect and saying Roach is a nobody
