I have no control over how you choose to interpret what you read. But I clarified the matter. So I can't really say more than that. Taylor is a winner but he's not impressive to me, in my opinion. But that's subjective. I have nothing against him, just don't see him as anything special.



There indeed is. Stiff, technical, very olympic-amateur style influenced. You see it in AJ, Brook, Khan, Taylor, Smith et al. It's a common style I have notice among them. Like a base boxer build. Sizes will change, appearances will change, one guy might be more powerful the other guy faster. But the common traits are all there in the same exact way.

None of the British fighters fight alike. They're all different.

They maybe stiff if all you're used to is sloppy fighters, but not in my book.

Why would you have to be "Special"? ATG's are special. Good to very good need to earn that description. But who in your mind in the US is "Special"? List all the names you think this of.

And yes, it's clear what you meant. You just didn't like being called out on it. But apparently, they have "Olympic amateur" styles. What?!?! I'd love to know what style you'd have the fighters you named fighting like. I'm interested. Give me your thoughts.

Did you really have to make a separate thread for it, cvnt?

LOL, I was advertising.

I'd counter that with Calzaghe, Naseem Hamed, Froch, Haye, Hatton, Nigel Benn...?

This was a very good point. But the Prince can't be grouped with others, and really, Calzaghe was a different type too, even from these other "different" guys.
