Please.
lol.
Phillips figured him out? Is this another one of those fights that you like to talk with such authority on but haven't actually seen? LOL...
Tell you what, why don't you lay out Judah's record for giggles instead?
Originally posted by Technical_Skill View PostYou dont have to be skilled to win a title at boxing, is Manny Pacquiao really skilled? not really, is he one of the best fighters in the world, yes.
However, you do have to be skilled to dominate a division for a decade and have the ludicrously impressive amateur record that KT has.
Originally posted by Technical_Skill View PostAre you serious? Judah's been high up on the p4p list before, was a two weight world champion, gave floyd mayweather his only legitimate tough fight (mayweather was one handed in castillo 1), dont be so quick to write off zab, if he beats cotto, ill pick zab over mosely, and then if he was to win that fight he would be near the top of p4p.
Oh and please tell me about all these wonderful skills tzsyu had. lol
Sorry, but I don't buy into the bull**** about the 1st Castillo fight. You don't throw at all with a torn rotator cuff, never mind as much as Floyd did.
Tsyzu's skills? Ring generalship, intelligence, unbelievable timing and accuracy, more than solid technique....will that do for starters?
Technical Skill? You don't even know what the **** it is.

In principle yes they do, although there are frequent criticisms that amateur judges place too much weight on head shots.
But that is precisely my point. The body is a much bigger target that requires less balance and punching form and accuracy to hit. Being a good body puncher requires less skill than finding the head target.
besides, in which of Zab's fights has he gone to the body frequently. In the fights I can remember he has considerable success with his overhand left to the head, and occasionally the right hook upstairs, not hooks to the body. So yes, I think amateur boxing relies much more on core boxing skills and much less on the other boxing intangibles such as heart, power, chin and stamina.
Executing a game plan is a mental aspect of any sport. It's what separates Roy Keane from Riquelme, Sachin Tendulkar from Chris Gayle, Hatton from Judah. It isn't skill.

Next time ill put it in bold, after that if you still can't see it, i shall ask rick reeno to send you a copy in braile, after that ill use sonar tongue clicking techniques in the hope the message will get through to your brain.

Listen, Judah has far better footwork, more accurate, more methodical, has a wider range of shots, now thats my opinion, and i need to go back and rewatch some tsysu fight i saw a long time ago, but you post mostly backed up what i have already said, so no need for the bad lang yeah.
Now do me a favor if you are going to reply, read my post properly before you agree with what i say.

I rest my case. lol.

P.S. Riquelme is a genius, without question.

If you can find someone to agree with you in more than one sentence of drivel like a few on here would, I'll accept that we have differences in opinion. As it stands, you're on your own whereas myself and Cletus agree pretty much straight across the line.
Riquelme=genius. Maybe, but that is my point. the difference between having skills and executing performance is a huge part of any level of sport. it explains why a mediocre player such as myself could play London league football, whereas hundreds pf others I've played with with much more skill than I have got nowhere frankly. Not boasting or anything, just trying to illustate a very important point.

You should have another go. This time follow you're own advice before posting.
You need superstars to justify someone's skills? There really aren't any apart from a couple of washed up legends. He fought every challenger in his division and destroyed them all, Phillips aside, but a couple of pretty famous names decided to skip his division on their way up, which says quite alot to me.
How about I flip that on you and let you use the same logic to justify your opinion of Judah's skills.
You didn't say he had no skills but you certainly implied it in the post that I replied to.
Yes, I think that Tszyu is superior to Judah in every conceivable way, speed and footwork aside. Judah does not have great variation, he has a good straight left and a nice uppercut which he uses to death.
Sorry, I don't get your attempted wit. Am I attached to life support? No, not the last time I checked. Or, maybe I'm in a coma and this is all a dream? I don't normally come accross people as dense as you so it could be true.........

now to you,
Ermm, did i say tzysu had no skills? nope, what i said was he wasnt more skiiled than Judah, once again, dont dodge the question, WHO ARE THESE SUPERSTARS TZYSU WAS BEATING?
Next time ill put it in bold, after that if you still can't see it, i shall ask rick reeno to send you a copy in braile, after that ill use sonar tongue clicking techniques in the hope the message will get through to your brain.
Are you attached to life support? you have just proved my earlier point, you dont have to be skilled to win titles in boxing, manny pacquaio is not that skilled and yet he is one of the best fighters in the world. Read the earlier post properly before you reply please.
Good for you, judah has come the closet to out boxing floyd in the opinions of most observers.
LOL. So you think Tsyzu's timing is way better than Judah's, Tsyzu is way more accurate than judah, tsyzu is a way more intellgent fighter?
Listen, Judah has far better footwork, more accurate, more methodical, has a wider range of shots, now thats my opinion, and i need to go back and rewatch some tsysu fight i saw a long time ago, but you post mostly backed up what i have already said, so no need for the bad lang yeah.

"To use footwork to move around the ring at high speed/pace, evading your opponents shots in a effort to tire him out and make him more vunerable late on"
Thats a skill inself, and to execute it you have to be good defensively and also with footwork, or you shall get caught with punches till you cant keep fighting at the pace you want to.
Thats one of the reasons mayweather is so good, he cant fight at a high tempo without getting hit longer than nearly anybody else, which is one of the reasons why his opponents become so open to getting pot-shotted, the gatti fight was classic example, gatti was fighting at floyd's pace trying to land body shots, it didnt happen and he payed the price, Roy Jones Jr who was commentating for HBO, spotted that, and said there was no way gatti could win if he kept fighting on floyd's pace.
Ill side with Roy Jones on this one.
Simple really.

There is some hypocracy in your posts. On one hand you accuse Pacman of 'not really' being skilled. Yet on the other hand you point out using footwork and moving in and out of range, firing shots, (in my words) is a skill in itself.
