The Historical Position of Tai Sen
For most China audiences, Tai Sen is undoubtedly a household name. One of the main reasons seems to be that he has some preconceived ideas. After all, in the 1980s, we learned that foreign professional boxing mostly passed through Tai Sen, so over time, Tai Sen became infinitely lofty in the audience's mind. According to the author's observation, most boxing fans who like Tai Sen basically concentrated before 1985. One is the problem of "preconceptions" mentioned above, and the other is that few people in Tai Sen really competed with it at that time. Even if some people do, they still have a lingering charm. Besides, another reason why Tai Sen is highly respected is his passionate game style, which can help him win fans easily. As for a few people who think that Tai Sen is concerned about criminal cases, we can only say that this argument is too superficial to be refuted.

In fact, the level of boxing fans is also high and low, which makes Tai Sen to some extent mythical and exaggerated, and there is even a normal argument that while raising Tai Sen, it belittles other champions. But as long as it's not those who regard boxing as a fight, most people can treat Tai Sen objectively and rationally, at least they won't think that he is unprecedented.

So what is the historical position of Tai Sen? Judging from the boxing performance, it is basically clear at a glance. As the youngest champion in this category, Tai Sen is the first heavyweight champion after the establishment of the three major boxing organizations. He won the title of boxing champion twice in his career and won nine consecutive championships. So based on this, it is not difficult to see who is better than him and who is worse than him.

Personally, if we want to judge the greatest heavyweight champion of 10 so far, Tai Sen will definitely be among them, but his achievements and performance are doomed to be not the best, because there are Ali, Joe Lewis, marciano and others in front of him, that is to say, compared with holyfield and Lewis of the same age, although he has an advantage in market value, his comprehensive performance is still not as good as the other. In addition, compared with the Kritchenko brothers, Tai Sen is not as good as these two men in pure achievement. As for the peak period, which is stronger and which is weaker? This is incomparable. In other words, you can compare it in any way. You can even compare Tai Sen with Sullivan and Cobbett in the early 20th century!

Although Tai Sen's position in the heavyweight is not as good as that of the above-mentioned people, it is ahead of Redbag, Foreman, Charles, Patterson, liston and others, and can be on an equal footing with Holmes, who has dominated the heavyweight for nine years. Therefore, Tai Sen is definitely not the greatest in his class, and he will not be positioned as the champion of parallel imports advocated. Perhaps, in the words of Boxing magazine, Tai Sen's achievements, high or low, belong to his own era.
