    Malignaggi - Hatton is a great example. Hatton has great tecnique in a body-going forward fight but he does not how to go backwards. Malignaggi is a better technician, but...

    Marquez Pacquiao II could be an example too. We all know that Marquez is better in boxing tecnique but he does not the power to knock the pacman down, witch mattered in that fight.

    Judah lost to Baldomir and Tszyu.

      Yeah. It's why I picked Hatton. I remember saying there's no way Malignaggi beats him, he just can't hurt him, and Ricky will literally rag him around the ring and beat him up.

        EDIT: Rain? I meant train.
        i agree with that...but i truly believe that calzaghe just has a completely unorthodox style...you can't train for it...and i don't think it can be taught...it's just calzaghe's style...he was the better fighter...but i don't believe that he was the better boxer...or should i say more efficient...when he fought hopkins and roy jones...he wasted a lot of punches...he throws like a madman...so much that it can overwhelm an opponent...he gets credit for having the ability to do it...but it doesn't make him a great boxer...when i hear the term technical fighter...i always think of a better boxer...and i so happen to believe that kessler is a better boxer...but he got beat the **** up by a fighter in calzaghe...

            Yeah man, hard to disagree. But man, Joe does (or did) have good skills. I know that's not a popular opnion around here but I'm sticking to it!

                calzaghe has the style that he has because he lacks fluid movement, very awkward fellow, i blame his father probabley throwing punches like a ***** and calzaghe as he grew up mimicked him, but the awkwardness is somethin you'd never expect and it's hard to dodge(unless he's doing one of his famous flurries)
                he also used to hit hard as ****

                  Darchinyan-Mijares.


                  That was fairly lopsided prefight for Mijares.

                  Probably like 9 out of 10 people picked Vic to get blown out.


                  So, no, throughout history, its been proven that a better technician isn't always the winner.
