Styles make fights some fighters match up better than others, most recent example, Taylor, Pavlik, Hopkins, thats just boxing...
Mosley beat Oscar, Forrest beat Mosley, Mayorga beat Forrest, Oscar beat Mayorga. Then I suppose you could add in Forrest beat Mosley again, Mayorga beat Forrest again, Mosley beat Mayorga.
:smooch This might be the perfect (mind blowing) example but Pavlik really wasnt there in terms of his normal physical body an stamina.
Archie Moore beats Joey Maxim three times, Joey Maxim beats Floyd Patterson, Floyd Patterson beats Archie Moore.
Only difference is Taylor didn't really beat Hopkins. And in that case he showed everyone he was better than Taylor who also is a boxer and couldn't outbox Pavlik but Hopkins did.
Arturo Gatti beat Terron Millet, who beat Vince Phillips, who beat Kostya Tszyu, who beat J.C. Chavez, who beat Fransisco Da Cruz, who beat Roger Flores, who beat Ricardo Mayorga, who beat Vernon Forest, who beat Shane Mosely, who beat Fernando Vargas, who beat Ronald Wright, who drew with Jermain Taylor, who beat Bernard Hopkins, who beat Antionio Tarver, who beat Roy Jones Jr., who beat John Ruiz, who beat Evander Holyfield, who beat Hasim Rahman, who beat Ross Puritty, who beat Wladimir Klitschko. So why doesn't Gatti gain 100 lbs, come out of retirement and fight at HW? He's gonna be the next undisputed HW champ.
One of the best examples ever. Taylor beats Hopkins twice, Pavlik ****s Taylor up and wins a decision, Hopkins destroys Pavlik.
