    I know it's not OP's doing and I know there was a lot of requests for a + - system, but that ****'s not for me.


    Amir's pretty good but his chin mixed with his delusional self image knocks him down from an A or B level fighter to your decent contender level

      I think during his peak, he was really a very good boxer with good skills. He had a descent power that crack his opponent plus the speed; he’s got a great handspeed.

      I’d like to put him around B+ or maybe even A- (during his peak) but his chin is a very big minus really. No matter how good you are, if you have a very low punch resistance, it diminishes your quality.

      With his skills minus chin, I’d like him at B-

          He peaked very young, around 2009-2011 was his prime.

          Since 2012 when he lost to Danny Garcia he has slowly slipped back.

          ******* was around $7.50 then.

              A level handspeed and workrate.
              C level ring IQ and awareness.
              D/F level chin and recovery.

              All things considered he racked up some good wins with some ugly losses mixed in there. I gave him a C+.

                  The Maidana fight was legendary, decent run at 140 but underachieved after 2011.

                  Really fun fighter to watch though, b - career.
