    Yeah, me too, but I'd rather root for Micky Ward than Roy Jones Jr, but I'd rather be Micky Ward than Zab Judah, even though Micky lost to Zab.

    What about Joe Frazier, Evander Holyfield, or Rocky Marciano Will vs Skill

    I see what you mean Lyle, while I also think that Marciano wouldn't have gotten far without the skills that went along with his style.

    Rocky did go up against guys that were more experienced and skilled than him though, examples being Walcott, Charles, and Moore. He did have that special forces, take-no-prisoners attitude that allowed him to give his opponents hell for how ever long that it would take, even if it meant going through hell himself.

    Tough, strong willed bastard, + super cutman, and superb trainer = next to unstoppable. One hell of a combination. Although Rocky wasn't at a lack for skill, he certainly could have used more of it.

    Anyway I don't see how will and skill can be compared on absolute terms. You'll find fighters that had a lot of both, Carlos Monzon, Emile Griffith, Ezzard Charles, ad infinitum. Now if you have a high level of both, you can triumph over the competition.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
