Why is Mayweathers resume so thin compared to other fighters in the last 15 years ?

Like I said it is a good place to start, but is not the be all and end all. If all you know is a fighters resume, you basically do not know **** about them (imo). So therefore it is not a true meassure of a fighter (it can be used to meassure a fighter to a certain extent, but by itself it paints only an incomplete picture).Last edited by The Gambler1981; 03-18-2009, 12:36 PM.Comment

A resume is such a flimsey way by itself to judge a fighter, they are so much more then what their resume says~.
You do not hire prespective employees based on just a resumes, you only hire people after interviews and deterimining if what the resumes is saying is accurate. I view boxing resumes the same way, they are a good way to start, but are not the be all and end all~.
Mayweather is an undoubtedly a supremely gifted fighter. Is he more gifted than say Pernell Whitaker? Who knows. What we do know is that he didn't beat better fighters. How about Ray Leonard or Duran? It all comes down to who you beat when determining how great you were or were not. Not the end all, but certainly the bottom line.Comment

I would never call a resume the end all when judging a fighter. It is however, in my opinion, the best way to judge a fighters career. You can't determine how skilled one fighter is compared to another without looking and comparing resumes, its impossible to accurately do so with out looking at who said fighters actually fought.

Boiling a fighter down to just a resume is an over simlified view of their career. I consider it poor analysis of ones career, it is a good start but nothing like a bottom line (bottom line being an accounting term that means everything is accounted for~).
If that is the only argument you have, I am not swayed~.Comment

Swayed or not swayed I don't here you making an argument against my rationalization, only putting it down.Comment
