Who prevails when an “Unstoppable force meets an immovable object”? This philosophical riddle plays out when super-heavyweights enter the ring.

The first step in comprehending this enigma is to realize that we’re all human. No one is perfect. Every opponent has their strengths and weaknesses. It’s important to understand your opponent. One tactic may be for an opponent to maximize the perception of invincibility. It’s up to the opposing force to set aside fear, and separate reality from perception.

As humans, no one is perfect.
Every opponent has strengths and weaknesses.

Next, is to realize that this riddle is negated by the fact that in a competition, only one fighter leaves a winner. No one is unstoppable or immovable. We are flawed sapiens and any illusion of invincibility is a facade.
