So what is the best way to rank a fighter?
Should it be by weight class?
Should it be by resume?
Head to Head standings?
Head to Head accomplishments?
Is it skillset?
Who beat who and when?
Should there be a combination of these things to determine greatness?
I was going to put a poll up, but that's way to easy. What's your criteria to determine greatness? How do you come to your conclusions?
Myself? I look at resume first. I don't care what you think about ability. If one man can impose his will over others without looking pretty.....so be it. Second... timeframe...when did they beat certain fighters and who did they beat? Pretty self explanatory.
Third....skills. this (trying to be objective) ranks higher at different times. But in boxing, nothing really changes except how we look at skills. I feel some differentiate, and others just jump on the he said she said. To me, a subtleness has been lost in boxing, especially heavyweight boxing. I won't get into it now, but the size mongering is hilarious to me. That of course is MY opinion. What's yours? Overall all and altogether?
