No! Contra! If you ever remember that old school game.YA-HAA!!!

 

John Smith, a two time Olympic gold medalist American freestyle wrestler and 6x World Champion said that the Soviet Union's coaches mocked that he only had a single leg takedown......Smith said "Try and stop it".......:good

 

If that one dimension means you are greater then all the other persons multi dimensions put together. Why does it matter.

*multi dimensional can also mean, "jack of all trades real master of none.*

 

Not adjustable. Predictable.

 

The Karelin lift > The Smith single leg takedown :good

If we're gonna make references to wrestling and comparisons, Karelin is to Calzaghe as Pavlik is to Kurt Angle.

 

Pavlik is one-dimensional. He's an A-grade fighter, he's terrific at what he does, but he has not really demonstrated great adaptability that I've seen.

He comes forward and throws straight punches, and it works very well for him. However, it'll be interesting to see him adapt if he fights someone who can consistently back him up.

Look at a guy like Lennox. Lennox could be on you like stink on **** (Golota, Grant) or he could sit back and keep you on the end of a jab all night. (Tua) That's adaptability. If his opponent had something he was REALLY good at, Lennox could fight an entirely different style to take that advantage away from him. That, plus his physical attributes, meant that Lewis was NEVER faced with an inferior guy who would beat him most times because of styles. He'd just switch styles to counter it.

That's multi-dimensional. Pavlik doesn't have that. Nothing against the guy, he hasn't faced anyone who can cope with the style he brings, but just because he has A-grade chin AND heart AND power, doesn't mean he's multi-dimensional. He just uses all of those attributes to good advantage in his one style.

:hat

 

calling pavlik one-dimensional is ridiculous. people called cotto one-dimensional also for years.

one dimensional fighters are ruiz, hatton, margarito (to a lesser extent)
