Which wins deserves more credit?

[Left Hook Tua]

When fighters are being compared who never fought each other or from two different weight classes we have to resort to comparing their resumes.

Now this could be a tough thing to do and can be based totally on opinion.

In these types of arguments you often he phrases like , "he was old and past prime" or "great win but his opponent was not in his natural weight class" or "good win but his opponent was just a good fighter and not a great fighter".

That being said I'm interested in seeing which win people give more credence to and value more.

1. A win over a great fighter but older and past his prime? Like say Calzaghe's win over Hopkins or Hatton's win over Kostya.

2. A win over a great fighter but naturally smaller and coming from a division or two below? Like Bernard's win over Tito and Oscar.

3. A win over a good fighter in his prime and in his natural weight class.

Which type of win do you give more value to when weighing a fighter's resume?

It depends IMO. If the great old fighter has a fair bit left it's a good win. The fighter moving up, Hopkins win over DLH deserves little credit as DLH was clearly no good at the weight where Tito was pretty big so fit in pretty well and KOd natural middleweights.

The good fighter in his natural weight class, can depend on how good they are. IMO it's pretty close.

And this doesn't help to answer the question at all..

we're speaking in general terms of course. there are many exceptions.

Sorry Tua

But it really is close IMO. There are factors to be taken into account,

If Diaz beat Pacquiao (A great figher coming up in weight), It would be a better win than Calzaghes win over Kessler (IMO), While Hops win over Oscar isn't as good as Calzaghes over Kessler. See what i mean?

Damn, I'm middle of the road on anything. I'm not controversial at all Nice pic of Fatboy in your av Tua, I might go watch him KTFO of Ruiz..
