Pettis arguably lost to a 54 year old man who is just living his best life and not training 1/100th as hard as he did when he was in his athletic prime.

This fight proves literally nothing.
 
Sudo vs Butterbean is pretty close to that.

 
When Pettis cut weight like a true professional he easily made 145 and still wasn't the biggest in that weight class. Roy Jones was the heavyweight champion of the world in boxing.

Is this the biggest weight class discrepancy in combat sports history where the lower weight class won?
RJJ wasnt really a HW,he just moved up there and beat a weak champ and came back down. If he's a HW than Pettis is a WW.

He is also an old man now.
 
I hear Ali is being brought out of retirement to take on Pettis next.

This next fight should settle the debate once and for all.
 
Surprised these threads don’t get wastelanded for trolling - quite hard to take what TS says at face value.
 
This thread makes me want UFC to do openweight fights. Not just one up or one down but like four up and four down or really go crazy with Flyweight vs Heavyweight. Each guy comes in weighing their natural weight.

Great fight but to me Aldo was leaps ahead in boxing ability. He just gassed too soon and it went downhill cause Jeremy does have the dog in him. Then he was smart and kept going for Aldo's gas tank. It was a very entertaining fight nevertheless, I was surprised.


The main reason for me that it was so good is because there was almost none (if any that I recall) hugging from either to rest. Hugging in boxing kills it for me.

Jacare did that a lot with Vitor and it worked to slow him down, but painful to watch nevertheless.
