So when one has one that will stay the odds of him winning increase dramatically for that simple reason alone. And as simple as this is, there have been tons of people and will continue to be tons of people who are totally taken by the bone crusher. So taken, that the bone crusher screamed out long the way he had no plans of hanging around for very long and no one heard him. Or worse, they heard him and thought his 30 minutes of hell will be more than he would ever need.
The "bone crusher" is always nullified by the dog that fixes it so there's nothing to bite ... and that is tough enough to handle it when he does get bit.

It's the same physical set of rules that allowed Mohammed Ali to outclass, outhustle, and outsmart all of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history. Liston, Foreman, Shavers, Lyle, etc. all "hit harder" than Ali, but none of them had Ali's overall speed, timing, reflexes, and intelligence.

I would take a smart, fast, total athlete all-day everyday over a "great biter."

Most SUPER-Grand Champions are not freak biters at all; they are consummate, all-around athletes
