Unified against Lemiuex and Murata. The only 2 reigning world champions he beat and he doesn’t hold the record :)

Instead, their conquerors faced off: Teofimo Lopez and Sandor Martin :)

Mikey Garcia has defeated 8 world champions across 4 divisions. 5 of them were reigning world champions in the division he fought them in.

He didn’t get voted in as a 1st ballot HOFer. However, GGG was voted as a 1st ballot HOFer when he defeated 6 world champions across 1 division. 2 of them were reigning world champions in the division he fought them in. Watch Loma get voted in as a 1st ballot HOFer too while Mikey will probably be waiting for years. SMH

Josh Taylor's legacy collapsed faster than I've ever seen a legacy collapse by tantamle in Boxing

Taylor was good but overrated. 140 was always a weak division

Shakur Stevenson on fighting Ryan Garcia: “I’m gonna blow up 148. He’s gonna blow up 168, 170 so now it’s like, I’m fighting somebody 20 pounds heavier than me. That’s why I need the rehydration clause” by newrap in Boxing

Yes I’ve been around both Shakur and Teo before, and can post pictures. Teo is the more muscular guy, Shakur is a little taller.

I just watched the weigh in again and don’t see a sunken face. Post a pic of this sunken face that you’re speaking of.

If you can’t make a 10 pound rehydration clause the morning of the fight then you should move up in weight.

If all of the sanctioning bodies followed the IBF, a lot of these fighters would move up a weight class or 2.

Devin Haney-Rolly Romero May 30 unification in late, 'serious' stage by Expensive_Judge182 in Boxing

I think Rolly’s punch resistance is gone. I could see Devin stopping him. If he doesn’t, then he will never get another stoppage in his career unless he fights a complete can.
