    Spray_resistant Presents: Intro to Boxmath and Triangle Theories

    Alright, who is ready to solve some equations!!!!? I decided to do this using triangle theories to determine 10 for sure p4p fighters using triangle theories since so many of you on this site are so fond of them and think they are the perfect way to predict an upcoming fight. A basic triangle theory for example would be if fighter A beats fighter B then fighter A could certainly beat fighter C if fighter C lost to fighter B.

    Lets start with the big guys at HW, this is easy the Klitschko brothers Vitali and Wlad beat everyone currently ranked in the division so they are the best. Wlad lost to Sanders and Vitali beat him so Vitali is the best HW in the world by triangle logic.
    There is nothing going on at CW and no really notable fighters to mention so lets move to the LHW and SMW picture. We have Chad Dawson who has beaten Glen Johnson, Adamek, and Tarver. Hopkins who lost to Calzaghe in a close fight. Another fighter who had a close fight with Joe and lost was Kessler so we using boxmath will presume that Hopkins and Kessler would be a competitive fight since Joe won 2 competitive fights with both. We now have Andre Ward who dominated Kessler. So we have to presume Ward would beat Hopkins who logically would have a competitive fight with Kessler and beat Joe because he beat Kessler worse than Joe did.
    Jermain Taylor also beat Hopkins so we have to using the triangle theory presume he would beat Kessler too and maybe beat Calzaghe. since Taylor/Hopkins fight was competitive and Kessler was not competitive with Ward we have to theorize that Ward would beat Taylor because we have already theorized that Hopkins and Kessler would be close and competitive and Ward dominates both. Though we theorize that Ward would beat all four fighters Froch stopped Taylor who beat Hopkins so we have to using the theory that Froch could stop Hopkins too and beat Kessler in addition to Diaconu who lost 2X to Pascal who Froch beat. In addition to Joe who he wanted if Taylor and Calzaghe could be competitive. So what we have now from HW-168 in terms of p4p fighters by way of triangular theory is Vitali Klitschko, Andre Ward, Chad Dawson, and in the lead Carl Froch as #1 so far by presumed wins he would have with the triangle theory......isn't math fun! This is taking longer than I thought so does anyone want to take it from here with 160-135?

      So did I, and had to back track and carry a few remainders.......I didn't think it would take up that many characters though 1/4 the way through the weight classes.

          with that theory you could prove that,for example-marquez could knock kessler out or something crazy like that,i like it!

            I just kind of made this up using the results of fights with no intent to prove anything.....if no one adds on to this I will make a pt 2 tomorrow morning.

              Your thread interested me, but you need to restructure it. Don't waste time trying to find fighters from each weight, but have a conclusion.
              Have a twist that defies the theory. Mention that each fighter is not the same for each fight and they improve or get shot. Mention styles aswell because that plays an important role. Mention chins, speed, power and how some neutralise each others assetts

                This is just a basic not advanced course, you would place out into level 3 if you took a placement test I think. In Intro we go off of wins and common opponents only in similar weight classes.

                    Btw, green k'd you. This is actually a good observation if you really think about it in a scientific manner.
