Hello Viva

oye que lo que?

[Bad_Barracuda]

many of the top black fighters are pure boxers who focus on running and defense. why is this?? the fans want to see exciting kos but these men like mayweather wright hopkins spinks taylor etc. are scared to go to war. even a fighter who could be a great action fighter like kendal holt is torn because sometimes he gives the fans a vicious ko like he did last night and then theres times where he just runs like a coward for 12 rounds. why do these people refuse to go to war and gives the fans excitement?? they would make way more money if they tried to be excting fighters.

It's called defense mexican.

Defense is the hardest thing to learn about boxing.

It takes a lot more stanima to fight off angles than squaring up and taking punches like a donkey.

It takes HEART to turn a square ring into a circle.(ya'll don't know nothing about that)

I notice you didn't mention Oscar..He's used a "running style" on several occasions..

I wonder why?....lol

There's a reason so many mexican fighters have BLACK TRAINERS..They want to LEARN FROM THE BEST.

Mayweather Sr added damn near 10 years to Oscar's career..Oscar had to get aways from his raza to learn how to be a complete fighter..He'd be punch drunk if he didn't.

Plain and basic common sense

I think viva just worded his statement wrong.He meant CURRENT AFRICAN AMERICAN fighters. I dont fully agree with him unless he meant PBFM as all black fighters. Viva, you just have to learn to live with boring styles in boxing, it doesnt help the sport but it is fair and legal.

Generally Speaking....
I think fighters only resort to fighting flat-footed because they have no choice. and boxers like Mayweather has plenty of options, so he doesnt stand flat footed...., instead he boxes on his toes, just like SRL, SRR, or ali..


So the question really is....?

Should Fighters take punishment to give punishment...?
(Like fighters such Margarito)

Are Should Fighters give Punishment and avoid Punishment..?
(as like Floyd,SRL, SRR, or ali.. ALL DID....)
