Ward/Kovalev 2...who wins?

[TitoFan]

you kind of miss the point @TitoFan don't you?

you could have all the endurance in the world, be the fastest boxer, be agile as you like, be as strong as an ox, as powerful as a steam train, a superb defence, ring IQ of a god, and the best conditioning you can get

but if you would lose to an opponent then that opponent is the better boxer

lb4lb best is not the same as the best

Mayweather was/is lb4lb the best, something to be admired and despite all of his nobness you have you give him huge credit and accolade for what he achieved, and just how good he was in comparison to fighters in and around his weight

he was never the best tho, not even close

No Eric. It is you that misses the point.

Your quote was "the better boxers in the world are the bigger boxers".


In plain English: Being a good boxer is a matter of skill, and all the characteristics I listed above which you've obviously ignored. But put a good boxer against a much bigger, stronger man..... even if this man has inferior boxing skills..... and the bigger man will more than likely win. That does not make him a better boxer, only a bigger, stronger one.


I'm sorry this isn't getting through to you. I've made a herculean effort trying to get you to understand.

nah I stated early on (and several times after) I meant "better boxer" in terms of who would win and who would lose and not in terms of skill

1 nil Eric

so we are cool with the bigger fellas being the better now?

Then you're misusing the term "better boxer" and could've worded it correctly. Can't help you there.
