    Rock, Paper, Scissors thread. Who wants to play?

    The best way to stop a certain type...

    Example: The fighter is a volume puncher and swarming attacker. The best way to stop him is to have more power.

    Example: The fighter is much faster. The nest way to defeat him is to have good timing, and work the body.

    Who wants to add some more?

    The fighter is taller and has a longer reach.

    You beat him by working his body and fighting on the inside.

    True, but you might need get past his jab, have faster feet and the ability to avoid clinches.

    Example: The fighter is a south paw.

    To beat him you'd better throw lots of right hands and avoid tripping over his lead foot.

    I think that Wlad can be forgiven for the past deficit of his chin since he has achieved for so long afterwards and since then as he has....similar to Joe Louis after the ko loss to Max Schmeling.
