Would you call a guy with 5 ko in the last 15 years a "fighter"?

    I would not. Fighting is about hurting your opponent, not hugging him. Now, I know some of you would argue about one particular guy who has 6 ko so he's the best ever, but i'll have to disagree and explain that rabbit punching a guy who's trying to kiss you can't really qualify as a legit ko.

    he's 50 years old and lost 5 of his last 16 fights, he's a "has been fighter" at most

    If you can't beat a pure BOXER don't get into the ring. No reason to dumb it down to make it easier.

    Id say you are more of a fighter than anything, because if you don't knock people out then you have to always go 12 rounds.

    That's one KO every 3 years. If you only fight once a year, that's 33% every 3 years. If you went to a bar and got to sleep with 1 out of every 3 girls you approached, I'd call you a gansta pimp of John Ruiz level magnitude.

    It would be one thing if he was campaigning in his original weight class and was performing like this.

    It's another thing when he's fighting the top competition well into his 30's while campaigning in his 4th and 5th weight classes.

    I don't think people would look down at GGG if he moved up 2 weight classes and wasn't knocking out LHW's. Mayweather has never been a KO artist and he still performs very well in his 4th and 5th weight divisions.

    It's amazing the **** this guy gets as a fighter.

    And just to let you know, knockouts don't have some direct correlation with greatness. Pep carried around a 25% KO percentage as a longstanding 126 lb fighter who never jumped any weight divisions and he's widely regarded as one of the 5 best fighters P4P in the sport's history.
