You know this impression you have when you witness a flawless performance, where the fighter is in the zone, completely relaxed. You can't imagine him lose because he exudes confidence. Everything he does is measured, flawessely executed. Or maybe that's the impression you have.
I have to think of Conor UFC run until Aldo. Or Anderson's fights like the Leben, Griffin, Belfort ones.
Machida also looked like he was three steps ahead against Thiago Silva or Evans.
Which ones you think of sherbros ?
Honestly, I've never thought anyone was "unbeatable," only unbeatEN.
Floyd Mayweather struts around with his 50-0 record, but his record was laughable compared to Durans, Sugar Ray Robinson's, and many others who had incredible unbeaten streaks — until they got beaten.
I still say Sugar Ray Robinson is the closest to perfection.
* 85-0 as an amateur, 69 KOs
* 40-0 as a professional WW, then loses 1 fight to Jake LaMotta, a MW (a loss which he avenged 4xtimes, once by KO)
* 89-0-2 Then wins another 89 fights in a row (2 draws), before his next loss.
>>> After that started to deteriorate, as any mortal does.
Ray Robinson was never KO'd in 201 fights (only one rep stoppage, due to heat prostration).
Sugar Ray Robinson puts all other fighters that have ever lived to shame.
