    The counter argument to that is Ricky Hatton or Oscar Valuev. They had unbeaten records but if you saw even one of their fights you immediately knew they were not great fighters.

    Freddie Roach said he was confident before the Hatton fight because Ricky made so many mistakes. How would he know that without looking at the film? Film is an essential part of judging a fighter.

    Then you have hometown, split, and disputed decisions to contend with. Chavez Whitaker and Chavez Taylor look a whole lot different if you only consider the result.
