How do you define Ring Generalship?

[JazMerkin]

I don't weigh it as heavily as others & I think at times what one person might see as ring generalship, another might see as weakness, such as my & killer's vastly differing take on the Vazquez-Prescott fight the other night.

However, Amat's description seems to some it up best. The best exponent of ring generalship IMO is Floyd Mayweather, you can tell if he fights the opponent's fight it's to prove a point & because HE wants to, such as in the Hatton fight when he beat him up on the inside. Hopkins is pretty good, however he can fall into just being messy at times. Mosley against Margarito was a great example, & I think Khan last night was a good example as well. Just generally controlling the fight & being the man dictating how the fight is fought.

Watch a Ricardo Lopez fight for GREAT ring generalship.

To me the best way to realize a fighter has ring generalship is "control".

Once the fighter has established control everything else tends to come right after. Which is punches landed, movement, defense etc. etc.
