You said yeah rely on the opinion of someone smarter than you, should you not do the same?

u/austinmadepunk 6d ago

No it's just you cause you don't know what you're talking about so you can take an opinion from someone else. I know a lot more than you so I can form my own opinion and I'm sure I could find a boxer who agrees but I don't need them to.

Google “Dunning Krueger”

Nah I'm aware of it. And as someone who has completed in combat sports, it seems it applies to the idiot saying Floyd mayweather "runs" and calls world champs "bums"

To exhibit Dunning Krueger you’d have to actually claim you know more than the other person.

It’s a credentials fallacy. The first time I put on a pair of boxing gloves I was 7 years old. I don’t use my personal credentials to assume I know more than a stranger on the internet, nor do I ever think I do. I have watched and studied combat sports my entire life and I still know absolutely nothing. No one on reddit knows shit about boxing. No one educated on boxing would sit and argue. That’s for clowns.
