    Mark Ant is one of those guys in the movies that is a continent apart from being an alpha, but annoyingly wants to contribute to prove his balls, but eventually gets in the way and compromises a mission/safety of the group and/or a main character dies saving his dumb ass.

    I`ve had a fight in the street where I threw a shot at the guy and he stabbed me, to stop him and his pal from kicking me in my head I gave them the thumbs up and they stopped, hardly the behaviour of a beta male, meta more like it mate.

    Amateur experience is very overrated, I mean how many amateur fights did Julio Cesar Chavez and Roberto Duran have?
    Last Saturday's fight was no different than fights of the past like Jose Napoles vs Carlos Monzon, Marquez vs Mayweather, and Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko. You had 2 highly skilled boxers but the bigger man dominated because just that, he was the much bigger man and just as skilled as the smaller man. I guarantee you if Spence moved up to MW right now to take on Canelo he would be thoroughly dominated not because Canelo so much more skilled than Spence but because he is much bigger and stronger than Spence and just as skilled.

    Well the guy did just break my jaw, so I was confused and gave the thumbs up, he had his pal with me while I was sitting on the floor and he was kicking me in the face.

    Agreed; not a good poll when the (for starters) first 2 options are not mutually exclusive and polarised--and pretty much 'cause and effect' mutually inclusive.

    I see he’s cheekily put in a third option. Tut tut

    I know; Is he 'world class' at all?... All I feel is confusion. I mean he may be half decent against guys in his own weight class(es)...but who knows? Oh' me brain!

    Spence seemed the more athletic, and skillful guy. He was also bigger.
