Define Ring Generalship

Snake, people are like dogs. The bigger ones age faster. They have to take in more air, their cells oxidize faster as a result and Valuev is really, technically "older" than Holyfield by several years. I'm surprised you didn't know that. Also, more free radical damage from the immense amount of food it takes to fuel a body that size.

 

Nice posts in here, some good stuff about this thread.

I think ring generalship ties in with controlling the overall action in the ring, regardless of the style of fighter, swarmer, boxer or slugger. Equally important is the fighter who "makes" the fight happen. Also, I like to add that ring generalship also means knowing where you are in the ring with regards to foot positioning and setting up counters.

Archie Moore was a good ring general and knew how to trap his opponent and set up his punches for maximum affect. Jersey Joe Walcott was also a good ring general.

 

McGrain hit the nail on the head, exactly what I was going to post.

That is all it boils down too.

I nailed it in less words though.

 

Using your head to put yourself in the best possible position to win. Understanding your opponents strength and weakness, and making him fight your fight. Adapting to new strategies on the fly when things don't go your way. In some cases the use of deceit or emotions to catch your opponent off guard, or to make him lose focus.

 

Yep.
