    Take each number and divide it by 40.

    Last last question then I'm done with the interrogation. Main point I'm trying to understand;

    At what point in time do you personally think a fighter should lose the benefit of the doubt in the face of overwhelming odds on account of their being undefeated?

    Because your logic applies to Floyd Mayweather and Edwin Valero too. We never saw them stopped so by your logic, we shouldn't make the assumption that they get KTFO by Rocky Marciano. By your logic the more sensible assumption would be "Rocky Marciano wins somehow but we don't know how" but is that a statement you'd agree with?

    I be honest I have never been forced to think about it that way before.

    I guess the way I would think about it.is not so much in terms of the smaller fighter not being able to take the bigger fighters power, but more in terms of the nature of the exchange becoming unsustainable for the smaller fighter.

    That is essentially how most break downs unfold.
