    im pretty good with english.i didnt know more was defined as better lol.look up the definition.thats a fact.

    This is such ridiculous reasoning because you're only looking at one side of the coin. You say they got easier for one fighter, does it not getting harder for the other fighter factor in to the equation?

      the point is that the more opponents become familiar with each other,the easier it is to fight them.this is why guys study film on fighters they havent fought

        This makes no sense. Why does it only get easier for one guy? Don't both guys watch film of each other?

              20. 25. 50. Whatever floats your boat. Lets say it is 20, does Vits get in with his resume?

                For the purpose of this thread, we need to know if its 20, 30 or 100.

                Is it YOUR list BTW or is it just A list of the top 20?

                  Lets call it 20 since that's what the IBRO goes by. Does it really matter though? I asked a question based on personal opinion. You've chosen to troll this thread because you don't like that opinion. You're an educated boxing fan, you may rank him 18th. While I may not agree I don't have any serious issues with it like I would the bozo's who rank him top 10 all time. So the question remains....based on his resume do YOU think he's an ATG?

                      Wladimir is definitely a top 15 HW.

                      This alone gets him in:
