Ring generalship is dictating the fight, controlling the where, when, how...etc. Watch Hop vs Tito as a prime example. Watch Floyd vs Chico. Ring generals control the pace, distance and location of the fight to suit their strengths.

Some people confuse outstanding speed and defense with ring generalship. Roy n Manny r examples of guys who r fast n athletic, great fighters, but not ring generals in my opinion. They fight everyone the same way n r rhythm fighters who use speed n power to capitalize on openings. Floyd n Hop r great at fighting off the ropes when it benefits them, dominating the center of the ring, using movement to offset punchers, pot shotting
