Skills v.s. Resume....whats a better indicator how good a fighter truly is

[VirusTI]

I am lumping skills with physical atts.
I figure skills is including physical, while technical would be more hopkins/wlad like.

how do you prove ur skills if ur competition is weak

Roy Jones is a special case. He did things wrong and got away with it because of his extraordinary athletic ability, but don't kid yourself into thinking he didn't have very good skills.

He had a long successful amateur career and had plenty of skill.

I understand that. WHat i was getting at is that if you restrict the definition of "skills" to purely technical skills its not like he is right up there with the greatest of the all time greats as would be the case if physical attributes were to be included in that definition.

Skill and resume coincide. You can not go anywhere on skill alone, and you probably can not obtain an outstanding resume if you are lacking skill.

not saying they dont coincide..........but what is a better indicator?...............................

Definitely resume, you can look like the second coming of SRR against tomato cans.

ideally you need both to be a great fighter. but choosing one, resume. why? well it shows who you beat. you can have all the skills in the world but what good is it if your fighting tomato cans?

rocky juarez got some pretty good skills but look at him now...

Emmanuel Augustus has skills.

Lost 30 fights. Probably 25 of them legit losses.

And he fought life and death with some good ones but lost to some cans.

This has probably been done before......lets do it again...........whats the litmus paper...........of how good a fighter really is....................poll to follow...............give your reason.......why........i vote resume.........skills is way subjective.........imo..........choose just one..........we know both are important....................

what use is skill if you don't have the resume to back it up?

Andre Ward has tons of skills but does he have the resume to back it up? c'mon man this is easy.
