So is it better to fight guys that are better athletes but not as good fighters? Who was the best athlete Mayweather fought? Judah.
So this is the best you could come with? Where was it state that "it's better to fight guys that are better athletes but not as good fighters", I'll wait while you find that post...Yeah Judah, SSM, were both really good athletes, no question about it. The point was simple, I wanted to see who you thought was the best athlete the man had beaten, no more no less. Sweet smiley's, anybody who's anybody knows smiley's make you look "wicked smart".
He has a point. Cotto >>> Judah. But yea...Judah could probably beat Cotto in a track n field game... As for thread, probably ledwaba...who knows.
I'd probably say hatton relied totally on his physical gifts. Strength, speed and stamina. His footwork was poor but fast. He also had a very good chin. I'd say marquez at the lower weights was very athletic and so was morales, MAB less so. Marquez had fast hands, solid power, Fast feet. IMO he was matching Pacquiao in there for speed and thats saying alot. Trust me ive seen JMM vs Pac in slow mo. There is very little between them physically and it is a point which is often overlooked.
i'd say pac struggles with decent speeded counter punchers and say the best athlete who had this ability was marquez.
