A lot of people are saying this, but this isn't true.
By 2001, Trinidad had beat an old Sweet Pea and basically borderlind retired him(he had one more fight). Decisioned DLH in a controversial decision. Moved up to 154 and basically ruined the careers of Red and Vargas becoming unified there. Then he Moved up to 160 and destroyed the #2 guy in Joppy by knocking him out. After that, he was the 3-1 favorite against Hopkins who was considered "old" at the time when he was 36. Hopkins put on one of the worst one sided azz whippings we've ever seen from an underdog and stopped him in the 12th with his dad stepping in to save him. After that, tito beat gatekeeper Cherriffi and retired. Basically, hopkins retired him.
When floyd fought Diego Corralles, Floyd was the underdog and Corralles was a top UNDEFEATED fighter in the sport. Floyd dropped him 5 times on a way to a stoppage win in a one-sided azz whipping
Jones moved up in 1994 to fight Toney. At the time, Toney was considered top 3 pfp in the sport by many along with Sweet Pea and Chavez(that Sweet Pea was robbed of a win in his fight with a year prior). Roy shut him out over 12 rounds including a knockdown. Now Toney was indeed weight drained due to a fat camp, but that's not Jones' problem. he should have moved up and stayed off of the Burger King. And Toney is one of my top 5 favorite fighters of all time.
The reason I chose those 3 is due to Corrales, Toney, and Trinida ALL being dead in their prime and undefeated fighters blowing thru the competition only to be thoroughly dominated. Spence isn't the first and won't be the last. This is what happens when everyone has a voice through a social media outlet while not having the knowledge to match their postings. And trust me, there are more. We can go back to the 80s when Honeyghan came over here and Upset UNDISPUTED/UNDEFEATED CHAMP Donald Curry by dominating him before it was stopped on the stool after 6. So I'm not picking on you, but what happened last night in the fight is not the first time it's happened among 2 elite fighters in boxing history.
