And, of course, Willie Pep did win a round without landing a single punch."

        His offense lacked power.


        that is one of the most important attributes of offense. The great equilizer. the fire power.


        It's like a defensive fighter without head movement. Can you have great defense without any head movement?

          I never said it's the only measurement.


          It is the primary measurement. Power with Speed are the 2 most important aspects of great offense. Period.
          Do Brain's grow naturally are must I use some form of supplement? I'm assuming you're going off experience?

          A KO % is the primary measurement of someone's offensive ability?

          Again, plain idiocy. Nothing more, nothing less.

              Even Whitaker doesn't win fights at the highest level. I know you nuthuggers love to overrate him. Sorry clowns, he lost because his offense lacked.
              Andre Ward doesn't have great power.

              He's the best SMW in the world.

              Floyd Mayweather doesn't have great power, he's one of the best fighter in the world.

              Bernard Hopkins doesn't have great power, he's still dominating at 47 years old.

              You don't have to have power to have offense, or to win fights.

                exceptions do not make the rule.


                if he didn't throw a punch for every round. he would lose.

                defense does not win fights.


                kthanksbye.

                  He was a points fighter, didn't really need a great deal of power to win because of his speed and reflexes just enough to get respect.

                      You don't have to have power to have offense, or to win fights.
                      The FOTD = Pacquiao. The last FOTD = RJJJr.

                      Both with great offense.

                      That's right.

                      you listed fighters with great defensive and subpar offensive abilities.


                      They can still win fights.


                      However, their offense are solid B and under. they do not have A class offense.


                      Can we agree on that?
