    No its not...and saying that you agree (and the fact that you have no idea of the difference between timing and speed) shows your naivity on the sport. Which is fine....not gonna knock you for it...just learn a bit more before arguing a point that just doesnt hold weight.

    Trust me, just because fighter A beats fighter B and fighter B beat fighter C....it does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that fighter A automatically beats fighter C.

    Have you ever heard the phrase "styles make fights"?

    I could go on and on all day about the MILLIONS of instances where that formula above holds weight. If it didnt, then why the hell even have the fights?

    Here is one for ya...

    Tarver beat Jones....Jones beat Hopkins...so Tarver beats Hopkins? Nope.

    That kind of thought process (that just because a fighter beat one, doesnt mean he will beat another...) more often than not DOESNT hold weight. Its simply because of stylistic matchups...which are infinately more important than a common opponent come fight night.

    I have no interest in watching Bernard Ruiz fight for free much less on PPV. His fight against Calzaghe was a disgrace with all the holding and clinching he did.

    Pathetic.
