Styles make fights so no.

Yea RJJ is a full blown Journeyman now. You hadn't noticed?

No. There are many variables that can affect performances.

"You're only as good as your last fight."

True, but 'good' doesn't mean you had to win your last fight. Personally I try to keep an eye on the last few fights a fighter had to try to get a sense of their trajectory.

edit: And styles do make fights.

No. Lara had to gut out a TKO victory over Angulo then came right back to outclass Trout, a legitimate top 5 JMW. The talent and skills were always there but Angulo's pressure presented problems.

Like others said. Styles make fights.

It can be a measure of how much a fighter has improved or declined but does not dictate how good he has ever been, and some fighters have declined a lot by the end of their career that should not affect their past accomplishments .

Not really. Boxing's psychology is too complex and complicated to be summed into such a simplistic logic.
