Not taking punishment = BOXING

[S A M U R A I]

Where did I say what you just said? I didnt. The thread says not taking punishment equals boxing.

Right there:


Good luck with this. Realize you are making a point against popcorn-eating, couch sitting "fans" on this board who would never dare step into a ring. Therefore the ones who disagree with you are only looking at it from a fan's perspective, having no idea what its like to actually step into a ring.


Seemed like a weird post. We're trying to define boxing. "Not taking punishment" isn't the be-all-end-all, it's just an ideal.

But he said to tag your opponent, which would be the ideal of any fighter, to hit his opponent and not get hit in return.

I dont think people on here know the sport of boxing.....

let me educate you on this....

when you hit your opponant without getting hit yourself you are boxing...

when you hit your opponant and get hit back you are brawling/fighting...

watch Pernell Whitaker for an example of boxing

watch Aturo Gatti for fighting/brawling

In my opinion, what I believe you are trying to imply is your individual preference. The way Gatti fight is boxing. There are several styles and each poster here has his own favorite. If you love Sweet Pea, you probably like Floyd, Guzman, then support those boxers. If you like Gatti, then you would like Katsidis and probably Pac. To each his own. The arguments would then be put in theory when style clashes but it is always up to the fighters to prove us right/wrong. Then we go up here nuthugging , praising, making excuses , etc... This is what defines boxing ... the diversity of styles under a simple set of rules ... thereby making it great and interesting.

Floyd = Boring... Is that what you're trying to say?

But the way in which it was put across doesn't make sense to me! It would mean that anyone who ever gets hit is labeled a brawler and is therefore automatically excluded from the magical elite slick boxer club! Yes, the basic principal is indeed to hit and not get hit, but every boxer is gonna get hit, and no one particular style epitomizes boxing. Put two Floyd Mayweathers in the ring together. Nobody lands or takes a punch! The most boring fight in history of the sport.

The biggest draw can't possibly be boring.

Yes, exactly what I think.

Boxing is the name of the game. How you go about it changes per fighter per region in which they are trained. Fighting, brawling, bobbing and weaving, whatever word or style you prefer, it is all considered Boxing.

It's beyond naive of you to think that just because you prefer a style like that of Floyd Mayweathers, you can claim it to be "true" description of the entire sport. This entire thread is based in the same level of ignorance as 99% of the Mayweather-Pacquiao oriented threads. Congratulations.

It can. The biggest selling recording artists can be (and usually are) boring. The biggest blockbuster movies are usually boring, utter crap, yet they make millions.

my point is we are on a boxing forum, just learn to love the pure boxers too, give them credit and dont call them *******, fair right?

Sure as the ideal way to win would be to land without being landed on, but its not the only way to get it done. Its about results really and if someone like Angulo can win fights the way he does more power to him.....so called unskilled brawlers win just as many fights as technicians in the ring.
