    Dumb ****ing idiot.



    This guy has actually seen some things. I mean he's wrong, but at least he is looking.

    I am not saying he is incapable of great combos done with high technical skills but he is not perfect. Not all his combos where with proper technical skills. Watch his fight with Graziano and see how many wide body shots he dished out. Watch how his left hand where always low even though Graziano consistently try to get a leading straight to his chin. SRR eventually wins. Looks like he stunned him with an inside uppercut and brought him down with a devastating right.

    SRR is THAT good. It just irks me when people confuses a boxers technical skills with his achievements. More often than not, boxers are rated based on their achievements more so than their technical skills.

    Prime WW Robinson vs WW Pacman would be a fun scrap while it lasted, but almost definitely Robinson will KO, not Tko, KO pacquiao late.

    If it was a 15 rounder I'd say Robinson KO13 Pac.

    Are you saying they shouldnt be mate?

    Seems pretty silly to rank a guy on what he could possibly do rather then what he actually did.

    No I am actually saying the opposite. Too many people are infatuated with technical skills or a KO instead of actual victories. Modern examples (but not limited to) Floydettes ranking him in the top 20 (technical skills) and *******s ranking him in the top 12 (exciting wins).

    Roger that.

    But I think Pac gets ranked high because his achievements more then anything. What he has done is simply amazing any way you look at it.

    That being said in the ring dominance and form on film should play a minor but nonetheless still significant role in rating a fighter IMO.
