You're an idiot then and don't know jack about the sport.
Tell me this? Who is generally considered the greatest defensive (slick) fighter of all time? So slick, he was supposedly able to win a round without getting hit?
What about another guy who is generally considered one of, if not the, best lightweight ever and was able to beat HOF'ers without messing his hair up because of his 'slick' skills dude?
What about one of the great 140 pounders who is also without a doubt considered among the very, very top defensive fighters of all time? Able to stand in front of his opponents, hands down, head forward and not get hit? This wasn't against bums, this was against legendary HOF opposition.
Don't know? Pirog the only 'slick' white dude you've ever seen?
What about one of the great exponents of the shoulder roll (no, not Mayweather, he's black) from the sixties? Had very little power, but some of the finest defensive skills you'll see. Great 126 champ.Comment

Sorry I disagree mate, I think he is rather slick and shoulder rolls rather well. And hopefully will get a belt a light middle soon..He's not a slick fighter, he's a Ingle trained fighter so he has that style but I wouldn't say he was hard to hit. He's been facing domestic level competition recently. At world class or even European level he'll hit some road bumps.
Obviously he has more experience that when he lost to fringe contenders like Otis Grant etc but I don't believe he's a slick fighter.
But that's my opinion. If you don't think so no worries dude..Comment

IMO RR has an enjoyable and slick style, but his slickness is only effective at a level and i cant ever see him going beyond european level.Comment

Valero is more slick than Pirog.He's not a slick fighter, he's a Ingle trained fighter so he has that style but I wouldn't say he was hard to hit. He's been facing domestic level competition recently. At world class or even European level he'll hit some road bumps.
Obviously he has more experience that when he lost to fringe contenders like Otis Grant etc but I don't believe he's a slick fighter.Comment

In one of the most famous fights of the 19th century, "Gentleman" Jim Corbett was said to have used a slick defensive fighting style to tire and eventually defeat the heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan.Comment

TS there have been several slick defensive minded white boxers.
Am I the only one who dont think Pirog is slick?
Hes fancy...not slick. He can be hit. Jacobs was landing.Comment
