Slick American fighters are a dieing breed.

lmaoo.... Americans are pathetic enough to try this tactic. :lol1: It's not a tactic, it's the truth. 14 year old athletic American kids are going to play football, baseball, and basketball with all of their friends. Try and get good enough and go to school for free or a discounted price. That's how it works now. And they are grabbed earlier than that even.

ward and dirrell have got a few years left in them

I define a slick african american as someone who doesn't have a high guard, slips punches, upper body movement and has an arrogant attitude while boxing

What the **** is a slick African American fighter anyway? How do we break it down? Is it purely defensive? Does it apply to fighters who are mostly just quick (Judah, Mosley) more so than defensive? I'll give you Hopkins and Mayweather if you're talking about purely defense, hard as hell to hit cleanly.

How about *****ing whining quitters like dirrell and choirboy devon, both cut from the same cloth

So what are we blaming for this? NFL? Basketball? Just curious the world is getting too comfortable and spoiled

dont be silly man. floyd has more than 2 years left I said Hopkins has 2 left max, and floyd has 5.

hopkins is not slick

Sergio Mora like him or not is one of the best examples for slickness. the Latin Snake

I don't know how ppl considered Alexander slick...jab, jab, jab, move... He may fight defensive but that doesn't make him slick... Slick fighters are awkward, crafty, difficult to hit... I would consider Ishe Smith "slick" even though he isn't a top fighter... Pirog looked slick against Danny Jacobs...not sure if that's the usual way he fights tho, haven't seen any other fights of his

The only two left are Hopkins and Floyd. One has two years max left, and the other has 5 years left tops. This is nor good at all. dont be silly man. floyd has more than 2 years left

Gamboa is Cuban, Khan is English-Pakistani and Bute is Romanian-Canadian. Gamboa might at least have some African in him, but English-Pakistani and Romanian-Canadian might be as far from African-American as physically possible. But it's a recognized style. So as that, you don't have to be black to have it.

You guys don't know what a slick african american style is. I consider Gamboa a slick african american boxer . Amir Khan has the talent to be a slick african american boxer, hell even lucian bute can be a slick african american if he wants Gamboa is Cuban, Khan is English-Pakistani and Bute is Romanian-Canadian. Gamboa might at least have some African in him, but English-Pakistani and Romanian-Canadian might be as far from African-American as physically possible.

If it's a style then white european fighters are any fighters in general can have it. What about Pirog and Bute?

Maybe there is no such thing as African American SLICK STYLE huh? its a MYTH.. a lot of African Americans called Devon slick fighter..and Bradley was close to slick..Pac moves better than those guys..they wouldnt want to call Pac slick fighter because he likes engage and fight toe to toe...thats what a offensive boxers do. but if Devon was a slick fighter i guess Pac is slickier. so give it a rest..no such thing as african american slick fighter. because if there was such thing atleast half of those black boxers today should have been slick..

To be honest boxing need a lot of new breed period!!! The only fighter that excite me right now is Donaire and its a shame, Before we use to have 5 or 8 fighters who were high-profile and who we use to look forward to fighting, Those fighters have different styles too, They brawl with style, they box and move etc but now we just have mediocre fighters. this is true.
