If Rumble In The Jungle Happened In A Cage

[StarshipTrooper]

It just depends where the punches are landing [obviously]. Chris Byrd did the same sort of thing against Tua, but was nailed against Ike. Very clever boxers with big hearts can pull it off against big punching, but limited fighters. Make no mistake though, even Ali would have been hurt in the right circumstances.

What happens is that most punchers go in trying to take the boxer's head off, and in doing so waste energy, and also waste the opportunity the wear the boxer down. Patience is a very good virtue for a boxer to have. That's why I think Ike could have been a great fighter. In those types of fights the puncher is better off just throwing shots at about half power, and wearing the other guy down until the bomb comes.

Or taking greater care and placing accurate shots rather than making wild swings. Missing wild punches saps a fighters strength and endurance as much as getting hit does.

''Power is a good thing in any sport, but you need to be able to plug it in.'' That's what Larry Merchant said before the Ike vs Byrd fight. Ike had pretty fast hands for a heavyweight, and was accurate as well. Foreman, for all of his power, was just never that fast, and didn't exactly have great technique. He was really just a crude wrecking ball. It's not like he was in bad condition either, as he was pretty lean back in those days. I guess it just wasn't there.

and how would you know? you have never laced a glove on in your life, so you wound't know what goes on in a boxing ring. So dont come on here like you've boxed and telling people what saps energy etc, because you woundt know or never will because you were to scared to get in a ring.

You stick to writing behind a keyboard, and acting like a keyboard warrior. But dont dare act like you've been in a ring, skidmark!

You're clueless and make a fool of yourself constantly.

News flash: The vast majority of posters on Boxing Scene are not themselves boxers. This a site for boxing FANS as opposed to site narrowly taylored for BOXERS. You would well to remember that it is the hardcore boxing FAN that keeps boxing alive and pays the freight. Without them tuning in and buying PPVs ect. boxing would dissappear proffesionally as it would lose all economic viabilty. BTW, you're a tool.

i never said you coundt watch it. i said dont comment on things that you would only know if you have been in a ring and fought something which you have never done. you just be a fan, but dont talk like you have actually boxed, because you have never laced up a glove in your life and never will.

you just watch it on a armchair, and make sure you wear a nappy incase you **** your pants watching it from a distance.

and give them teeth a brush, they look like they have never saw a toothbrush. have they?

There's a reason why networks hire non-fighters to do most of their boxing commentary: Most dumb jocks lack the intellect to say anything intelligent on TV let alone actually analyze what's going on in the ring. Now make like George Foreman, Roy Jones, and Lennox Lewis and make the occasional dumb observation and leave the thinking to those who have the brain power to handle it.

PS. Your new alt is SO obvious Mr. "Maniaboxing".

I'm afraid you're the definition of a "keyboard warrior". You'd never say this to my face, heck, you don't even dare to use your real account but rather an alt to say it on the internet.

How pathetic is that?
