Hit

while minimizing abuse taken

And not get hit.

And not get hit.

You wanna quote the rest there, champ? Or do you just pick apart a sentence to support your opinion?

I've gotten everything I needed from that post. Thanks.

The art of boxing is to hit and not get hit. Mayweather does that in great fashion. Are you saying that you don't appreciate the art of boxing?

Boxing is about way more than that. A lot of it is about machismo, it's about what it means to be fighting your heart out. Nobody wants to see two poseurs feinting and counter-feinting. get real you ****

So you don't fancy in watching the best pure boxer in the sport today? I get it.

Maybe you should run along to the MMA section.

Mayweather is the best pure RUNNER in the sport today. He USED to box but that was a long time ago: Now he just gets tips from Hector "Track Shoes" Camacho and runs like a b1tch.

Something Mayweather doesn't do much of with his 20 pot-shots a round.

Well he does do THAT in great fashion especially considering he gave up generating any offense a long time ago.

I appreciate the COMPLETE art of boxing quite well thank you! That means more than just NOT getting hit: It means not getting hit while generating offense of your own.

Like I said.. the MMA section would love you over there.

Are you trying to say that there's a certain amount of punches that a fighter MUST throw?

Well he does do THAT in great fashion especially considering he gave up generating any offense a long time ago.

By " giving up any offense", do you mean he has no offense? Funny.. but I thought you just said he threw 20 punches a round.

You said he generated 20 punches a round. Unless you don't count punches as offense?

How old are you Junior?

There should be if you want to win a round. As recently as the early 1980s it was very unlikely that a fighter would win a fight throwing 20 pot-shots a round: The judges took a VERY dim view of such tactics. See Leonard - Duran II as an illustration: At the time of "No Mas" the fight was just about even on the scorecards.....courtesy of the pot-shot tactics Leonard was using.

20 pot-shots a round is NOT generating offense. Considering the typical Welterweight throws between 50 and 60 punches a round, 20 pot-shots a round is nothing less than something less than nothing at all. Cripes, Pretty Gay Floyd acts as if Ellerbe won't give no nookie if he threw a combination now and then.

Awwwww, is the banned Slimey one back again?
