Roach on Oscar's Game Plan and on Mayweather's Flaws

[GunStar]

I just remembered - I think the second Ward fight was on PPV. Am I wrong?

I remeber it being free on HBO.

Gatti is a C level fighter. Oscar is AAA gold standard. In fact, when Oscar fougth Gatti, he could have ended the fight sooner but decided to make a good sparring match of it instead.

Now, I'm a Gatti fan. I don't care much for Oscar but I have to admit the man is a great fighter.

Gatti is more like B+ fighter!

And look what happened to each of the four you mentioned when they got in the ring with more skilled and defensive-minded boxers with better timing and more controlled attacks. Fact is I don't give a **** about fan bases and media converage, since people are so obssessed with violence they embrace fighters like that, but those who really appreciate the sweet science now there is much more to it than brawling. Look at the last 4 #1 P4P fighters: Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather. I think that says a lot, don't you?

Amen. Welter Skelter is a MMA UFC fan that was raised around boxing. He likes clutching hugfest for rounds and rounds at a time. I believe he is a Hatton fan.

Dude, I don't care what you can do about my bar. it ain't hard to tell from reading your post who you like or what style you like. and then add in where you are from and it's clear. it's ok, you a homer and hatton fan, but the style of boxing that you like is not the style that the masses like. Everyone doesn't like Gatti or Duran. Most historian and old man fans will like the boxer over the brawler 9 times out of 10. and by the way, Mike tyson boxed, he never clutched or had a hug fest. he used head movement, angles, combinations, and he had great power when he was in his prime. so your opinion doesn't speak for the masses so don't make it seem like it does. I'm not scared of you so don't threaten me no more.

mike Tyson was a slugger and swamer at the same time i dont recall him being a boxer

[BrooklynBomber]

This is boxing, you know, people tend to get beat up in this sport.

u better watch again, he threw a lot of power shots, but in his prime he very rarely got hit with anything significant. he seemed like a slugger because he hit so hard, but it was method to waht he was doing. he wasn't just in there swinging away, he set his punches up. His uppercut for example was setup by shots to the liver. he boxed!!

How is Oscar a AAA gold standard? I'm assuming you mean he is among one of the greats.
