    Ledger is a much better word since that takes into account positives and negatives~
    you're thinking of "resume" too much in the context of a "resume" you turn in while applying to a job.

    and while it is that and a boxer's resume is similar , resume also means a short summary of one's accomplishments and experience or a summary of someone's story.

    a boxer's resume is not just a list of numbers , dates and names.

      Unless you truly know about a fighter you should not really be talking about them.


      If a person resorts to "resume" that means they don't know shit
      i think you have a different definition of what some people call a "boxer's resume"

      a boxer's resume is everything.

      his accomplishments , titles , best wins , losses , who he beat , who he lost to.....

      everything.

          Jo' the crack fiend is good, but he made a mistake retiring after Roy Jones. Also if you want to see someone getting schooled put in the Pascal fight, the Hopkins fight was one that could have went either way, missing shots and tapping shoulders is not schooling.

            Unless you know the full story behind everything, it is not the whole story, just some rosy picture someone wants to portray.

              Was just winding you up. Joe did make good adjustments though, Kessler fight is probably the best example.

                Yea they are, a resume is what whatever someone needs to explain their point and they almost never include the negatives.


                Like for example you take some old school guy all you know is the positives and that he fought all these guys who are highly thought of, how can you compare that against a current guy who you have watched and know all the positives and negatives about, it is a shitty way to compare

                Sorry that is a poor way of looking at it. You don't have to agree because I will never agree with what you are saying I have had this argument before, so I know this ain't going no where fast.

                  Resume means everything when evaluating a fighter's ranking in history.It's what allows the likes of Harry Greb and Sam Langford to be consistently ranked as highly as they are.If we were to simply rank fighters based on what we've seen on film,then these guys would have been forgotten a very long time ago.



                  Nobody ranks Manny Pacquiao as the best fighter in the sport based on him being a more skilled boxer than Mayweather,that's for sure.

                    Calzaghe has ATG skills there is no denying that. However he had a chance to stamp his legacy since unless he got stopped he would have beat Dawson, Pascal and the others. Too bad.

                    The adjustments he made in alot of his fights were great.

                      agreed.

                      but what you fail to understand is that the full story is part of a boxer's resume.

                      again you are confusing a resume you turn in applying for a job with a boxer's resume.

                      you discussing a boxer's story is you telling a boxer's resume.


                      you're confusing a boxer's resume with a list from boxrec.

                      a boxer's resume is not only a list of just wins and losses and dates and names.
