Phillips, speed is never a skill, its an attribute, it can only be increased incrementely, wheras you can learn a hundred new boxing moves that count towards more skills.

good speed with good skill is better than each one alone, thats the best. And if you got bombs too, then your name must be Joe Louis.

but full credit to Joe for outpacing the old man and for not getting intimidated when he was clearly losing the fight to him for five rounds. I'd get well depressed if a grandad was dropping me, so he did well to ignore the shame and shock of being outboxed and stick to the plan.


But why is this poll closed? I wanted to vote my fellow Brit.

Hopkins just didn't do enough to win, he was cruising along at the same work rate throughout and was lucky it was a split decision. The margin could've been wider!
Calzaghe worked harder and the knockdown actually made Calzaghe more focused and he threw more punches and landed more punches. I remember thinking that Hopkins definitely let Calzaghe off the hook after the first round knockdown.
