Good question. If I need real world fight skills, I might go for Wonder boy.

Good question. I have mixed feelings about it. I've always thought that I would like the skills necessary if I was assaulted by two or three guys at one time. Being an excellent grappler wouldn't benefit you as much in such a situation. However, as far as Wonderboy and his fighting style, as effective an impressive as it is, its always struck me with a certain degree of lameness. That jump in and hit and jump back out..well it reminds me of the movie Troy I just rewatched the other day. Achilles was the baddest mofo around. He'd go toe to toe, in your face and he could still evade your blows and land his own. He ended up being killed by Paris who was very skilled with the bow and arrow. Ok, that skill can be impressive but he's just not the badass that Achilles was even though he killed him. We all know what would probably have happened if Wonderboy had stood toe toe with Rashad....I meant Tyrone Woodley. So, compared to other elite fighters, I dont' know I'd pick Wonderboy's skills to have either. Another comparison, Stipe vs. Ngannou. Ok, Stipe was impressive and he's another bad mofo, props and all that. But we all know who the baddest, toughest guy in the octagon was that night. Ngannou took Stipe's best shots and seemed completely unfazed meanwhile Stipe had to dodge those power shots like his life depended on it and use strategy to wear him down over the course of the fight.
