    You really just said that Ali was not a reflexive boxer ?, damn.

    Go watch his fights pre-exile and tell me that again please.
    What I would call a pure boxer is someone that stuck to the basics e.g Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, James Toney, Bernard Hopkins and Floyd.

      Somebody defines what a pure boxer is. Is he someone who doesn't brawl and purely box? Somebody pointed out willie pep, is he or isn't he?

            Mayweather is more of a counterpuncher, he's very unorthodox in that he leads with his right hand a lot, leaps in with the left hook, but sometimes he switches his style completely.

            Even Max Kellerman partakes in this ****** phenomenon, grab a boxing book and watch some boxing. Kellerman doesn't know anything about boixng.
            go watch his previous epsiodes of 24/7 with haaton or de la hoya and he said himself that he is a pure boxer u ****ing ****er!!!!

              No need to watch that was watching Castillo 2 last night and its pretty obvious from that.

              He moves with his jab ready. Castillo is never too sure which one is coming first but, early on, he's fast enough to move away.

              Later on its a different story.

              Language!

                      1. Yes, he was not a reflexive fighter.

                      2. James Toney isn't a fighter that uses the "basics".
