Raising Arizona/Wild at Heart era Cage was great. And even Leaving Las Vegas. But beyond that, he's been crappy imo.
DeGale was the one holding and not fighting. Was a pathetic display by him.
Shouldn't the guy who won the first fight get more than parity? You're acting like the offer is generous.
Landed more doesn't mean shit. It was a close fight. Some judges had it like 119-110, which is bullshit.
Failure to launch. In fact, he went through a money-grab phase of rom-coms.
Tom Cruise is certainly a good example.
Pre-divorce Juanma?
Fans are getting less and less. What passes for a main event these days is barely a PPV undercard in the past. Nothing but showcases and hype. And...
Fucking Arum
By fighting a dangerous opponent. Plus, the number of opponents within his promotional outfit worthy of PPV is likely small.
Your understanding is naive and half-baked.
Now that you've edited your post, it is clear you do not understand the topic.
Yeah. I think that's right. I think any other interpretation is intellectually dishonest.
I seriously doubt that's what he meant.
In addition to undefeated fighters tending to be more confident and less willing to lose, there is also the fact they are more valuable quantities...
I think it would depend on the fighter. Everything affects everything. So we can't be sure you know.
Agreed. But it depends on the extent of the advantage. An advantage of a few inches will of course not be as reliable as more dramatic differences.

The outcome of interest here is, "winning."
This fight is about Garcia needing to make up for the fact he can't face any of the guys his fans actually want to see him face.
One thing I'll say though - he does appear to have a good chin. Molina hit him with some monsters that did not even phase him.
It's fun to pretend it's all about skill, heart and dedication. But it's not in fact. Other elements like weight-cutting ability, likability,...

Both are indeed key. In the case of popularity, it is by definition distributed highly unevenly across fighters. And, it brings great value to the...
Yeah. It is kind of a lot to have to consider. But if there is a single point I would like to emerge from the discussion, it's that many of the...
It is? Assuming you are being sarcastic, it's hardly an indictment of the thread. This is a discussion forum afterall. Not a science experiment.
It would not be. That is the point. To the extent "any" of the above elements are widespread among top fighters, they become less important in...
How would you rank the following aspects in terms of the degree of differentiation they provide a fighter? For example, if all top fighters are...
Anyone else watch this fight? Pretty good scrap with some hellacious blows landed. But man it seemed like Molina got screwed by the judges. I...
