    How do you judge the fighters on the resume?

    You have to apply this reasoning to them too.

    You will get a very different picture to the one you have, perhaps.

    while you would accept my measure, I cannot accept yours.

    Therefore my measure > your measure.

    Ok.

    Do you agree though that based on your measure of greatness, the greatest boxer of all-time would be Oscar de la Hoya? How much ever money he made and he maybe took 10 hard shots through all of it?

    John Ruiz with his style would also rank high for greatness under your measure. He'd throw a punch and then clinch a guy, thereby avoiding getting hit.

    Ruiz and ODLH did take some shots through thier careers. You must have forgot. Quartey hit ODLH alot as well as Vargas and many others.

    Saying that the Author thinks Pac is the GOAT would be more accurate than ODLH or Ruiz. Pac has hardly been touched by any of the guys since he's moved up to 135 and beyond while dominating in an offensive manner. When he is touched, his opponent isn't putting nothing on the shot.

    Does my AV get any respect from you then? Funny how your simple answer will negate what you just said or show that you just don't like a particular style.

    greatest measure of greatness is when you face GREAT adversity, are challenged, and able to overcome the adversity.

    true measure of greatness is doing something what others are saying you can't do.
