    Like most things in life, a "0" needs context to mean something. A better way to determine greatness is to examine who a fighter beats over time.

    So, hypothetically, a fighter meet X number of opponents over a period of years, with each fight he comes in as the favorite, and wins. Over time, he wins all these bouts and has an "0".
    As the favorite, he is expected to win, and he does. So, he has an "0" and in all of his fights has never been an underdog. Either this fighter is far superior to the field, which is rare indeed, else he has avoided competitive competition which has allowed him to always be the favorite against inferior competition.
    Today with the money end of the bizness being all things, is the latter more prevalent than the former scenario?
