Do you Count Variables When Discussing Fighters Weaknesses?

A Lot of posters seem to get variables and constants confused

A variable is something that you can't always account for because its completely random and unplanned for and you cant plan for it.... the examples i notice the most are most people discussing Floyd Mayweathers hands.. yes floyd has had a history of having bad hands but thats not something you can use going into a fight as a trainer to help construct a gamplan to defeat that fighter....


A constant is something that you can always account for because its garunteed to happen 10 out of 10 times and you can use it to your advantage to defeat a fighter... an example of this to oppose the floyd mayweather example is carlos baldomir's speed... or lack thereof.. there is nothing over night that can make baldomir faster and baldomir has a track record of being slow... so this is something you can use in your game plan and use it to your advantage...

so my question to you is....

when talking about fighters do you include variables into a fighters weakness?

 

you would be surprised ... ive heard the hand excuse many of times.. but its just not something you can account for because theres not a guarantee of it happening

 

lol how about cuts?

i mean i think cuts SHOULD NOT be included in weaknesses... but others seem to use them in examples all the time
