Pure Boxers Have Always Ruled Boxing

african american style? WOWWWW hahahahaha you're one ****ing dumb f@aggot styles don't have races moron

Wait so Mexican's can have a style, and Puerto Rican's can have a style, but African American's can't? Last I checked there's a European style of fighting to.

I have not studied Calderon do to a lack of exposure and perhaps fighting in such a light weight class is part of the problem. You do know I'm talking specifically about the biggest names in the sport, today and in its history, when you connect the dots they all connect to the best proponents of the African American Style of boxing.

STFU you do not know WTF you're talking about.

Call yourself a boxing fan. Talking about how you got more knowledge then everyone in this thread. Yet muttha****er don't even know who Calderon is.

I am born and raised in the U.S like you. And, I have seen Calderon fights how come you havent? Because your ass don't really follow boxing. You only follow the big names like the casual fans.

Ali was not a pure boxer, Roy Jones wasn't either. They were unorthadox, athletic, boxers but they didn't both fighters didn't have much defence in the way of blocking, they had incredible head movement which allowed them to avoid punches. As well as Ali not going to the body.

Ali did develop some blocking like in the Foreman fight but he didn't use that style often, Tyson was definately not a pure boxer he was a search and destroy fighter. Holyfield, Duran, Hagler were not pure boxers. Henry Armstrong was not a pure boxer.

Even in todays day and age we have few "pure boxers" Floyd, Paulie and perhaps Wlad are the only pure boxers. Even guys that seem like they are (Martinez) are instinctively incredible counter punchers. Hopkins is all but retired so I don't think it's fair to include him.

Also I don't think you can label someone a certain style throughout their entire career, Fighters have shown they evolve and change their styles when they get older. Hopkins became much more defense focused moreso than when he was young. Calzaghe went from a boxer/puncher with decent power in his fists to a light hitting volume punches, Wlad went from a more aggressive fighter to a defensive first conventional "work behind a jab" fighter.

so this is what this thread all boils down to, to insinuate that pure boxing is African american boxing.

why didnt you just said so i the first place???

The big names I mentioned who have ascended to the top of the sport, who have carried the sport, have used that style, yes that is what I said.

when did I ever say a pure boxer cant be beat? And uh oh, did you just call Vernon a pure boxer, the definition police will surely be after you now.

Vernon fits the style of "pure boxer" more than half of the fighters on your list.

There different types of styles that people do associate with races. Such as when Pacquiao fought Clottey and ppl where saying he still hadnt fought a black fighter. They were saying he hadnt fought a fighter with what you usually find in a typical african american fighter.

I like how *******s always use Calderon as their gauge for how much someone knows about boxing or not. Look here internet warrior, if a person is not interested in Calderon then thats what it is. When he does something to catch my attention I will let you know.

I read the post and I dont agree, my vision of pure boxer dont have to be yours. A pure boxer in reality transcends categories. For whatever reason, you cats dont get that. The name of the sport is "boxing" one who is pure can do it all.

2 division champ never lost a fight. the most skillful pure boxer not named Mayweather in the last decade. And, he still hasn't caught your attention?

You're a casual fan. Is OK but don't come in here acting like you know boxing cuz you don't.
