Not being naive at all either. Not even a person close to his skill set. The closest I've fought to him would be Bruv and Krup. Even then he is miles ahead IMO.
From what I've seen if a person is miles ahead, IMO most of the time they should manhandle the guy they're miles ahead of. At the level of guys like Jo and Bruv and Krup, from what I've seen it's generally who's best on the day. Or am I wrong and Jo always walks on them?
I know when I fight the guys that are miles ahead of me, it's a feeling of the inevitable. I measure how close we are by how many turns it takes them to get me. I've always felt if that's not how the fight goes and I get a chance or two, the skill difference isn't that far apart. YMMV.
