In this topic, we post commonly heard stupid opinions.

Fighter A is better than Fighter B because he "destroys" his opponents.

Fighter A is a puncher, Fighter B is a boxer.

Then when they fight, they are so suprised when Fighter B kicks Fighter A's ass all over the ring. (Trinidad-Wright anyone?)

 

He's a borderline ATG. The blowout of Kessler will seal it.

 

I don't know man, Bigtime and Carlito are in a dead heat if you ask me.

 

:deal Carlito is more recent though. I wonder if he isn't just trolling for the sake of trolling.

 

And that's the great philosohpical question: Is Carlito trolling or just incredibly stupid. Either way, it's painful to watch.

 

It's difficult to determine this given that 168 is a truncated division--in the olden days it would have been part of lightheavyweight, so it has only a fraction of the past talent.

If we consider supermiddle as equivalent to any other division, then a win over Kessler and winning back the IBF will make him an indisputable ATG.

 

I'm not sure quantifying "skill" is as stupid as it is lazy. If I think Floyd will decision Hatton based on superior defence, timing, and footwork, why not save a few words and say he's the more skilled fighter?

 

PERFECT example

 

Of?

 

That's true. I'm referring to those posters who say things like "Wlad is bigger, more powerful, and more skilled than Ali, so he'd beat him". They don't quantify how he's more skilled, though. No technical analysis. Sometimes, "skilled" becomes interchangeable with "good".

The worst example is the big-skilled-good-chin quadrangle. If he beat bigger fighters, he must be better than someone who beat smaller fighters, which means he's more skilled. He also got hit by fighters who are bigger (and who also must be more skilled, using the reasoning above), so he has a better chin, which makes him better, and so on.

 

Ah, I see. It's got to be some convoluted logic if it ends with Klitschko > Ali.

:rofl

 

Very good observation?? This is why people think prime Tyson was sucha beast.

So Tyson KO's Spinks in one while Holmes takes him to distance.


Prime Holmes still destroys Tyson.

I'd expect the same thing from someone saying Ali > Klitschko. Technical analysis is much more than simply declaring one fighter "better".
