    No it doesnt. Having great intangibles doesnt mean you are going to have a great career. Neither Eubank, Benn or Collins have Great careers and they all had rock solid intangibles.

    No. If you are a highly skilled/gifted fighter you will be able to win fights based on ability alone. It really gets tested when you face a tough opponents or start to get past prime that your intangibles really get tested.
    Compare Jones vs Toney where he cruised on his ability to Jones vs Tarver I, where he really had to dig deep to pull of the last 2 rounds

    Not all the time. Sometimes you are denied the fights you need to become great. None of the fab four wanted to deal with McCallum for example and his resume suffers for it. Liles at smw had a tough time getting fights as well

      Being skilled and having great intangibles does IMO.

      Against poor opposition, yes.

      I agree.

      He also needed the great intangibles to dominate him like he did.

      I consider McCallum a great with great intangibles.

      Many prospects get 'exposed' because they don't the intangibles to be great.

      Not saying Nunn had bad intangibles just don't think they are on the level of Roys.

        I can't see how. I had him winning every round quite easily. He never had to dig deep at any point in that fight
