"Oh, as to those other "did it happens?", here's the run down: Jack Dempsey did name himself after The Nonpareil Dempsey, he didn't put Plaster-of-Paris on his hands (an impossibility sworn to under oath by the inventor of the product), Louis did give a half-dollar to Marciano and another kid as they followed him around at a boxing show where he was guest announcer, Ali-Listion II drew only 2434 fans (the least ever), and Greb was blinded in one eye by Kid Norfolk in 1921, yet kept it a secret and fought successfully the final 5 years of his career and his life. And, of course, Willie Pep did win a round without landing a single punch."Comment

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?Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

if he didn't throw a punch for every round. he would lose.
defense does not win fights.

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.Comment

The FOTD = Pacquiao. The last FOTD = RJJJr.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.
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?Comment
