i disagree, you have to be extremely skilled to beat either one of them. arreola tried your strategy and stuck with it the entire fight but he wound up getting the beating of his life.
lewis won the fight on a cut - but he was getting his ass whipped handily. still - lewis was extremely skilled and that is why it was a competitive fight. lewis still didn't take the rematch. he could have cleared up the controversy, but it will always be there now. who knows maybe it will be on legendary nights in 10 years!
brewster didn't take wlads head off. wlad collapsed for what ever reason - brewster landed like 2 clean shots - max. brewster didn't do **** but get annihilated and wlad just happened to fall out.
the sanders fight is like 7-8 years old? wlad is a totally different fighter.
however, i do think that out of the current crop of fighters the only logical choice is to knock them out. decision isn't going to cut it. fighters can't be afraid of getting hit, they have to realize that the only way to capitalize on their slim chances of winning are to go in, take punishment and just keep throwing wild ass bombs and hope something huge lands. i don't think any fighter is going to do that though. arreola and peter are the only ones i could see truly trying to employ such a tactic. but it won't make a difference.
but ultimately i don't see anyone beating them until someone EXTREMELY skilled comes along. i think people will appreciate the skill of these guys a lot more once they have been retired for a few years.
