Pure Boxers Have Always Ruled Boxing

Highly limited point of view. Rock Marciano retired undefeated. Braddock defeated Green. Check your ATG list, that statement of yours shows your mediocrity.

Yeah I know the title comes as a shock to know one, the sport is called boxing and being pure at it is a good thing. There are many fans these days and on these boards though who rag on about how this guy is boring, or this "certain" style is dull and boxing is dying cause it needs more excitement.

The reality is that sluggers have never dominated boxing, they have never been the life blood of boxing, they are never the biggest money makers in boxing or even the most popular. Lets start at

Sugar Ray Robinson...sure he could trade if need be, but for the most part he was a pure boxer. Also he was the most popular, made the most money, carried the sport during his time etc...

Muhammad Ali...another pure boxer, The Greatest, Biggest name in the sport, makes the most money, draws the biggest crowds, stirs the most excitement.

Sugar Ray Leonard...Another pure boxer, like Robinson he can **** if need be to but again a pure boxer dominates the sport, makes the most money, draws the biggest crowds, stirs the most debate.

Oscar De La Hoya/Roy Jones Jr....What do we have here more boxers??? Yeah they can punch but they ruled with their boxing skills, oh yeah they were the most popular, made the most money, drew the most excitement etc....

Floyd Mayweather...The sport revolves around him, lets be real, biggest PPV attraction, stirs the most debate, he is the center of the boxing world is he not?


Now before I make my final point I will agree that there are sometimes anomalies like Mike Tyson a slugger who rose to the top of the sport in money, popularity, and in ring actioni. But often the Job of selling a fight is often left to the Pure Boxers.

Here is the difference: Pure Boxers are generally confident in their ability, they have big mouths and are willing to back up what they say. Why cause they know they got the skills to pay the bills.

Sluggers are generally the quiet types, unable to draw huge crowds or light up the boxing world with their tongues. They have a let their fist do the talking mentality. T

who the hell will believe you??? you are already red man!

good thread!

You are correct Sir. No one here will agree with you out of pure ignorace. They have no idea what your speaking about. Most posters on boxing scene are hispanic or asian. Let me tell you that boxing is really not there nature. If you follow boxing history,you'll see that most Spanish/asian fighters were more brawlers than boxers. THEY BELIEVE IN TRADING PUNCHERS, TOE TO TOE BATTLES, NOT THE SWEET SCIENCE. You should go back and read my post about the creater of the sweet science, Jack johnson. Dont forget to add him to your list. He invented the sweet science. It doesn't matter who started the sport of boxing. Only one man can change the game and that was Jack johnson. Before him there was no catching,rolling,sliding,side stepping. He made boxing look to easy. NEVER HAS ANY BOXER BEFORE HIM DO THAT WAY. The best part was he bragg,and smiled. Even talk to his opponants while whipping there ass. There are a few non african American boxers but very very few. The ones that come to mind are Alexis arguello, Oscar de la hoya, Felix trinadad, Hector camocho mocho, Joe calzagy. Their are others but when you look at them all its only a few that are boxers. They think using the ring while out scoring your opponant is running. They call Mayweather , Mayrunner because he choses to apply the hit and dont get hit style, BKA The Sweet Science. So don't feel upset when they respond with ****** insults ,there idiots who don't have a clue about boxing. Any fool with balls can stand in the ring and throw punches. Only a chosen few can BOX!
