    That was more like age versus youth (size helped too).

    Agreed.

    Duran-Leonard I, Corrales-Castillo I, Hagler-Hearns....not really good examples.

    you obviously know nothing about hearns. the man was a master boxer whose ko's came as a result of freakish power behind text book boxing technique

    Didn't read every page, but Baldomir vs. Judah comes to mind. Also, pretty much anyone Micky Ward ever beat.

    Congratulations. In a thread full of shitty examples, you pick one of the absolute worst. It is quite an achievement. :yep

    The funny thing is, at one point, you were probably actually serious.

    Calzaghe-Kessler.

    Kessler had Joe in the bag and was tying the knot, but in the end Joe wanted it more.

    Chico vs Castillo I is a great example

    Castillo's skill was winning him the fight and Chico's will is what won him the fight

    It's an awful example. The skill and talent level was very close. After 9 rounds, Castillo was up on most reasonable people's scorecards by a whopping margin of 5-4. WOW!! That's nowhere near fights like Castro-Jackson 1, Brewster-Klitschko 1, Izon-Jefferson, etc...when one guy was clearly more skilled and dominating the fight.

    But thanks for at least trying to defend your awful example.
    :hey

    Chico vs. Castillo I

    is the best fight that represents will over skill

    and is heads above shoulders over everything else

    After (pathetically) trying to defend your shitty example, you're back to the same old.

    :lol:

    Funny that someone with "Margarito TKOs Cotto" in their avatar can't come up with a better example than shitty ass Corrales-Castillo I.

    :rofl

    No one else. There have been some bad examples, but apparently no one else is as stupid and ridiculous as you to think this is the #1 example ever.

    And there have been some BAD examples, indeed.
