    Void's defense if his vacation! Void will soon fight another woman.

    Vitali and Vlad hit and do not get hit.

    I always saw greatness as the guy who beat the most ATG fighters. I think that simplifies it for me.

    To be an ATG you have to

    1. Tell your opponent you'll make him your girlfriend
    2. **** a woman and go to prison
    3. Bite you opponents ear while in the ring
    4. Scream into the mic that he's no Alexander and you're gonna eat his children
    5. Tell a reporter you'll **** him 'till he loves you

    Any of the above beats skill.

    That is why it is easier to punch a woman!

    Woman have not proven themelves.

    In boxing too many fighters make each other.

    Ali; Foreman; Frazier.

    A circle and thus circular reasoning.

    This is just another reason not to use much hindsight.

    Accept that all boxers have things to contend with outside the ring. Just because you are told about Tyson's problems or Lewis' does not make the other guy 100%. A champion has to deal with his opponents having the book on him.

    Fighters are treated like children by fans.

    Unfortunately they don't fight each other either. I do not judge them on this, but it means we cannot judge them like we judge a fighter like Lewis, for example.

    I don't know, this kind of rings true as well:
    "It ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done"

    Every boxer that steps in the ring put their life on the line. If a boxer doesn't want to do that, there are other sports he can try; perhaps figure skating will be more suitable?

    ...following this line of argument, then you can't judge a fighter based on his defensive prowess alone but also on their level of competition.

    I'll withold my judgment on Floyd's greatness until he fights Pac then.

    I agree but something lacking. Its how much you can dominate without getting hit while initiating the action. Pure counterpunchers don't get any respect from me.

    I always thought that the true measure of greatness is on how you challenge yourself to fight fights that are stacked against you and find a way to win somehow!

    I did not know that the TRUE GREATEST MEASURE OF GREATNESS is measured by how well you can ride a bicycle! Mea culpa! Afterall, I am not an "expert" in ESB.

    However, the TRUER GREATEST MEASURE OF GREATNESS is measured by how much money you make.

    Finally, the TRUEST GREATEST MEASURE OF GREATNESS is actually the way you convince fans that there is no need to fight another fighter because the conclusion is foregone. In that way, you don't even have to fight anymore (a novel concept that not even the *****s have the mental capacity to think- I might be wrong though). It is like the DEVIL making us believe that he does not exists!

    It is like Boxer A vs. Cotto - waht's the point, KO in 8 for boxer A, so no need. Against Margarito - KO in 10 for Boxer A, so what is the point of fighting.

    Great fighters close the show, they understand that no matter how in-control of a fight you are, that there is something special about a fighter who stamps his authority on his performance, takes that chance to close like a champion even though in full control.
