Do you think a boxer's won-loss record is a number which is most decieving in boxing?

[KnockoutTheFat]

Done and done.

Definitive answer to the thread: Tony Booth.

Didn't Tony Booth use to post here?

records are exceptionally decieving

for instance Joe calzaghe: 46-0

Evander Holyfield: 42-10-1

but whos the better fighter? who fought better comp over a longer span? who fought more prime opponents? who hid behind a paper belt for 10 years? It wasnt evander....

Yes it is.

Muhammad Ali lost, but is arguably the best HW.


If you're going for money and paydays, then sure, undefeated is your best option, but even then, most of the guys who were undefeated (like Calzaghe) never made as much money as other boxers.

Joe is a good fighter, but his record is deceiving, and has never beaten a World Class (elite) boxer in his career, despite have the chance on several occasions.

It makes no difference at the end of the day

Of course he has. And who did he have the chance to fight that he didn't?
