they are actually doing experiments with bringing boxing back into UK schools in London at the moment, it was on the BBC a few months ago, hang on i'll have a look!
what's wrong with his chin? He got knocked out twice by Tarver and by Johnson but that was after coming back down to heavyweight, it looks like he's sorted himself out now. With 54 wins and only two knockouts, you can hardly say he was knocked down all the time!
Floyd Mayweather Sr. would be great in a remake of Predator! :

:headbang:
nobody said holyfield-klitchko?
thats my obvious choice if holyfield is impressive vs ibragimov but other than that
valuev-klitchko
that's the fight I was thinking of!
thanks a lot guys, but are there any white boxers that are notorious for their blinding speed such as Roy Jones Jr, Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather?
just wondering, thanks
doesn't it apply to this forum too? A lot of fans of James Toney etc don't box or train but can help me out! Plus other fans can help me out by telling me what fights to watch etc.
thanks
My gym does not fight in the amateurs, the fighters fight in white collar shows then if they do well at that they join the EBF (European Boxing Federation) which is essentially semi professional, no head guard etc 10oz gloves but it is 3x3 rounds.
So I do not have to worry about it being a pro style. However, I thought it was the exact opposite and that it was an amateur style as it is very technical and in/out etc.
My trainer has seen me use it in light sparring around the gym and didn't say anything. When we were doing a jab drill I was using it but he stopped me and said I needed very fast hands to be able to pull it off.
I train in 16oz gloves but without my gloves on I am easily one of the fastest in the gym. I have very fast hands but with the gloves on I'm pretty average if that. Will this just come with time as my shoulders get stronger and my endurance increases. I have bought some 20 oz bag gloves on my own at home.
When I am on the heavy bag, and in the ring with my trainer I always use traditional as I don't want him to tell me off but when I am sparring, around the gym (no ring) I use it quite well.
I don't feel comfortable at all with the classic guard so have no idea what to use.
The funny thing is, my trainer uses the philly shell lol and hes a heavyweight, though he is fast.
lol I'm only messing around. But seriously I have noticed recently I am completley biased towards black fighters!?!? :ugh:
I always want to see the black guy win and all the fighters I like are black, anyone else like this?
Perhaps it's because I favour a black man's style? lol I love to watch the fast, slick, agile boxers. RJJ, Ali, Mayweather, Whitaker, Judah.
I dunno why cuz I'm as pale as you can get! I don't really have any pride in my heritage :puppy_dog
You need to go to Dr. Phil
hahahahahaha that made me laugh!
Seriously, I need help guys lol. I need a good role model. A boxer I can relate too etc, who is white, preferably in the higher weights above welterweight. And has a style that is fast, who is naturally talented, slick, agile. Like RJJ, but i have no idea!
Like in Rocky 3 when Apollo Creed is coaching Rocky and Paulie says how it's impossible to get him to fight like a coloured fighter. Well thats the style I prefer lol.

ok, so the majority of British people see him as British, so does the media, so does the Prime Minister and Queen who he has both met, it's not like he moved over last month and his whole family are saying he's British!
