Which impresses you more KOs or Shutouts?

[Citizen Koba]

My point exactly. I think this question was just brought up to justify certain boxers' claim to greatness.

Mmmmm. I was hoping it wouldn't be taken that way - maybe I could have phrased it differently or better. As a matter of fact, although some of my favourite fighters are guys with high KO ratios, in the hypothetical scenario I presented I consider the guy who shows the fewest weaknesses - the Shutout guy - to have impressed more in many ways. Probably he'd be my winning pick if the two were to meet in fight #31.

As I said, no offense, everybody is entitled to his/her opinion.

The hypothetical scenario quoted above differs from your original question though. In this scenario, I may pick the shutout guy as well, but I wouldn't necessarily be more impressed by his win. In fact, I would be more impressed if the KO guy was able to KO the shutout guy, despite the defensive skills of the latter.

I'm a fan of a masterful shut out but absolutely love a blitzing....

Deep down, who doesn't?
