Healthy debate here. Shows how people view words differently. FTR I don't think anyone is really wrong, just a matter of opinion I guess.

Level of opposition is who you fought? huh? More like the quality of opposition, not just who you fought.
Like I told you, Resume is teh presentation of who you fought. Its like when you have to present a resume for a job. You dont ommit certain job because you got fired and in the other the contract simple finished. OR you dont put a bachelors degree you have from texas tech, but ommit a associates degree you had in a comunity college just because it was a comunity collage.
Its the same thing with boxing resumes. Its the presentation of who you fought, whether you lost or won!!!
A boxers career has positives and negatives to me ledger would be a better term balance out the positives and the negatives at the end and see what you have.

A resume in the work place really only show positives if you are doinga proper one to get hired anyways, no one is 100% honest on their resumes because it is dumb to include negatives you really do not need to include aslong as you have other positives.

When I think of the word resume, I think about what has been accomplished, as in wins.
If we count losses as part of your resume, then wouldn't Jermain Taylor have the best resume of anyone?
If I go out and get my ass kicked by every fighter on the P4P list, does that mean I have a good resume? Even though I got my ass kicked?
I see people putting Floyd Mayweather on Marquez's resume as a positive point. In other words, because he fought Mayweather, his resume is somehow stronger, even though he was embarrassed.
I say your resume is what you've accomplished. Level of competition and record are completely different. What do you think?
