but can you answer my earlier point?
how the hell does somebody go so many amateur fights before turning pro?
300 fight? wouldnt 200 fights be enough? hell 100 would be enough if you have some inherent natural fighting skill, athleticism and talent.

Hit and not get hit is not the heart and soul of Boxing.

Originally posted by WesternChamp View Postbecause when you cut off the ring the fighter is trapped and cant go anywhere else right? cutting off the ring is just a way to try and slow your opponent down, it doesnt necessarily stops him completely. your opponent moves to the right you move to the right to cut him off, he dash back to his left and circle out. repeat.
We all know Foreman was not known for his speed at all during his Prime but one thing he did brilliantly even vs Ali was CUT THE RING OFF! It depends on how you do it, fighters today just not as skilled as their fans want others to believe. It is a lot of "GOOD" fighters currently fighting to day but "GREAT FIGHTERS" NO! I have yet to see a fighter this ERA that I can truly call "GREAT" all I see is HYPE and fans acting like GROUPIES towards certain fighters and hyping them off to be better than what they really are because for some reason they get off on that
Great fighters can/could find ways to beat ALL STYLES! NO EXCUSE!Last edited by sicko; 10-08-2016, 10:27 PM.

Originally posted by WesternChamp View Postactually no, boxing was first started out to resolve dispute. then later became a sport for entertaining. go watch some old boxing fights and you'll see two guys slugging it out in the middle of the ring. the "hit and not get hit" concept came along with most african americans didnt want to take punishment.
Willie Pepp, one of the top 3 best defensive fighters of all time, was white, same as Nicolino Locche.
It's competition, it's a sport, it's about winning, smart fighters win dumb fighters lose. Go watch an action movie or a street fight if u wanna c 2 brainless oafs slug it out, that has nothing to do with boxing.
