Boxing VS. Judo

To base all the merit on the individual is to ignore the distinct differences in styles.

 

I totally agree with that. Yes the individual has a lot, if not the major part of his success or failure, but the style he practices also can make a difference

Yes. the style does make a difference but does this mean that every judo practitioner will beat every boxer or visa versa?...and an Olympic Judoka is a special individual!

This goes with what I just said earlier, The individual has a lot to do with his success in a fight, but the style he uses is also a factor. Hence, I also agree with what you said Pineapple, a person practicing a style will not always win against someone practicing another style. However, one may have an advantage because of their style, not because the style is necessarily better, but maybe because it fares more advantageously VS. that style in particuliar. But the unfavoured style might fare better against another style. I truly believe that both the person, and the style are factors that may influence a fight.

 

p.s. And yes an olympic Judoka is someone quite special
