Alot of people on these forums dont appreciate defense!!

[gancho_al_igado]

I see threads left and right on how Floyd mayweather runs and DEFENDS, or the klitschko's are boring. I understand knockouts are exciting and offence always gets the glory but we dont need to depreciate it. Bernard hopkins is another example.

The best defense is blocking the punch with your nose, chin, cheeks and head.

Floyd and Bernard are two of the most popular fighters on the planet..they get the respect they deserve

i think defense should be taught more than offense..cause you can make your opponent beat himself,physically and mentally..cause while hes swinging and missing 2 things are happening..he's getting tired plus the fact he's missing is making him doubt his abilitys mentally so he gets frustrated and is tired and throwing wild so hes open for counters and doesnt have the legs to take the blows he usually could

Hey now, I started watching boxing because of Rocky and I love the D.

I think it may have more to do with them probably never having been punched in the face repeatedly.

Counterpunching should be taught hand in hand with defense

I think the best defense is rolling under the shot then walking away from the dude with your arms at your side like a badass, B-Hop style.
