whats more difficult to overcome?

whats more difficult to overcome? your foe's physical superiority (size, speed, power) or his style? can u give some examples to support ur answer?

[The_Demon]

id say style more often than not,just trying too come up with a few examples for ya

[Sir Tom Jones]

my first reaction was style.

Physical superiority is harder to overcome for obvious reasons. If someone is bigger, stronger, faster and generally better than you.. you'd need an amazing tactical plan and have to catch your opponent on an off night. A recent example I guess would be Mayweather - Marquez.

Of course certain styles can be tricky ie southpaws etc but there's normally a way to squeeze past them.

can u still remember duran-barkley?

duran was 38 then... way past it already...

in front of him was a man big enough to be a light heavy weight...

stronger, younger & faster...

but that man's style was just tailor made for him...

he defeated that man & walked away a middleweight title holder...

Both are tough, but nothing is more purely frustrating than a bad style matchup.

Even as a boxer myself, last week i fought a fast, awkward explosive sort of fighter who would leap in from long range and zip back out, he also had slick defence and was generally impossible to try and outbox

me being a counterpuncher type, just bad news, dude was too fast and unpredictable to time and i tried opening up and going after him but since i dont normally fight that way i was just not effective doing that.

so yeah bad style matchups are often quite tough to overcome.
