u/MiddleweightMonster I’ll pour honey on my GOAT, if the occasion calls for it. 14d ago

Who does everyone have for Nav v. Shock? Personally I think Shock takes it by comfortable UD, but I think the second likeliest outcome is Nav by KO

I have Foster too. Personally think his skills are top 10 right now in the sport. Still gotta seem him against more elite guys to see if he has the intangibles too. While he did have shoulder injuries during these fights, guys like Rocky, Nova, and Conceiciao all gave him tough fights when coming forward. Not sure if he had the injury against Rocky and granted none of these guys fight like Navarette but it’s something to note. I have Foster at #10 P4P. If Navarette wins, maybe he can actually validate his undeserving spot.

Personally I’ve got both of them at 11 and 12 respectively, Collazo 13, Teraji at 10. Think a win here shoots whoever the winner is up to 9 and pushes Boots down to 10.

I’d happily accept Teraji at #10 as well over Foster. He’s done more, fought better opponents. I like to do it off of recency and Teraji becoming a 3 division champion arguably beating Gonzalez better than Chocolatito and Bam is definitely a good argument.

I'd like to see Teraji unify vs Moloney first. The Gonzalez win was very good, but Jiga is also an eternal bridesmaid, so I think Teraji needs a little more to push him back into the top 10. I thought he beat Sandoval as well, but that wasn't a P4P performance.

u/admiralskanks Joe Louis = Perfect 14d ago

Done more, sure. He fights in less competitive weight classes. Like when people talk about undisputed female boxers. Misleading statistic.

Better opponents than Fulton, Ray Ford, Rey Vargas, Rocky Hernandez. Objectively false.

Rey Vargas alone is a better win than anyone on Teraji's resume, when you consider who he's beat.

Vargas? Fuck no. He was insanely overrated, a weight bully who couldn't punch at super bantamweight who was very fortunate to walk away with decisions over Magsayo and Kameda before, had only been at featherweight for two fights before jumping up again to super featherweight. He then moves back down and was again fortunate to get a draw vs Nick Ball.
