Is "WHEN" you fight more important than "WHO" you fight????

i think the when refers to the fighters condition, like age or win/lose streak. like it's a legit win if he's not shot, on a losing streak, or way out of his ideal weight class. that's the kind of when i look at it most of the times.

Obviously holyfield got credit for douglas. But noone in their right mind would call it a great win for him because every dog has his day and douglas just happened to get his. So I made a thread asking exactly how much the when counts because boxing history has been very inconsistent with the when.

But since you bring it up...while floyd was fighting the likes of phillips, brusseles and sosa pac was fighting barrera, morales and jmm. But that "when" just didnt seem quite enough to overtake floyd in the p4p rankings.

We know every dog has his day. Howcome nobody mentions buster douglas as a great win for holyfield even though he was the number 1 heavyweight at the time? Howcome *****s love to trash hatton's win over malignaggi when he was the #2 140lber in the world at the time?
The difference between Baldomir and Cotto is that Baldomir was on his way up when Floyd fought him while Cotto was on his way down when Pac fought him. Mosley was considered the #1 welterweight in the world when Mayweather fought him. He was considered damaged goods when Pac fought him. Mayweather fought and beat De La Hoya on Oscar's terms, while Pac fought and beat De La Hoya on Pac's terms. Marquez was the number 2 P4P fighter in all of boxing, while Malignaggi was #2 at 140 (and that ranking was disputable). I have never trashed Hatton's win over Malignaggi, but there is no way in hell a logical person can compare him to Marquez.
I love these comparisons!
