Do You Agree With This? (Black fighters)

ok..firt off i dont even like calzage......

second he would probably beat all the super six fighters....

what about wlad and vitali, there great rythem,... and there dominating the division.. or is it causse there white that there not considered good

why are you so defensive over the klit brothers? you keep mentioning them unprovoked. lol!

anyway, i think both of the klits are good. i think vitali is better than wladmir though. with that said both of them are stiff as surf boards. they have their euro style and it works for them.

Lacy, Hopkins, and Jones must have lost their rhythm during the Calzaghe fights LOL...

let me also add: vitali is one of the better heavyweights the division has ever seen. imo, he's undefeated.

to find a heavyweight that would beat vitali, i think you have to go back to prime mike or evander.

It's more about the training in my opinion.

In the past there were fighters like Joey Archer, Willie Pep, Benny Leonard, great boxers with tons of experience who were as slippery as any boxer today.

European fighters are taught to box in textbook fashion, with emphasis on the guard and punching with full leverage, not mobile footwork, which is why it might be shocking for an European boxer to face an American "slick" boxer for the first time. This doesn't necessarily include British boxers though who are taught to box more "freely", sometimes to their detriment.

If the "slick" boxer in question doesn't possess more natural talent than the textbook fighter then the more solid fundamentals tend to win out. Khan vs Malignaggi is a recent example of this. Adamek vs Banks is another good example. On the other hand the "textbook" fighter can be completely thrown off by the unorthodox style of the opponent, for example Kessler vs Calzaghe/Ward.

yes, which is why pac has never fought a black fighter

Joe moves pretty good for a white guy. Martinez is Latino so he has black genes.
