the 10 best "slick", Black American fighters of the last 5 years

[Bastian Loc]

Just like Paulie. The only problem is when they went against an opponent with a good stick we saw how slick they truly were. Both Guzman and Paulie couldn't avoid a jab to save there life. Not saying they aren't slick but it's easy to look slicker than you are against Diaz (in Paulies case) and Soto (in Guzman's case).

I don't see any real similarities between the two tbh. I never thought Paulie was "slick" (though I guess we all have differing definitions)..

I thought Bradley showed good leg movement in that fight, but I don't know if that makes him slick. The other fights have more to do with the kind of opponents. Diaz made Campbell look slicker than he really is, same for all the others except Raheem/EM which was more just a case of Erik not giving a shit.

Also, you mentioned Calderon in your list. He's not American.

PWN!!!

Watch the inside fighting and Bradley ducking and dodging Peterson's shots, Bradley showed his versatility and definitely fit into the slick category.

Campbell fought Diaz chest to chest and shoulder rolled and countered him to death, that was a slick display. You either have it or you don't. They might not be the slickest or be able to do it against everyone, but they are slick.

Ricans get butthurt over this, but look at the criteria for country and see if PR fits into it. After that, PWN on you.

Honestly they were in talks to make a fight in Canada if I remember correctly. FWIW Manny took the harder fight by facing Marquez around that same time frame. I just can't see how anyone can knock that move because If Manny faces Guzman...then he is ducking Marquez and I can only imagine the flaming people would be doing right now if the second fight between Manny and JMM didn't happen.

And honestly for you to say he ducked Guzman is b.s. in itself.

Please explain to me when that happened (Manny ducking Guzman)?

I will get the thread where I posted the evidence to save the argument. It went on for the year where he fought Jorge Solis and Barrera, before he fought JMM.

I have to jet, but I'll bookmark this thread and finish this discussion later.

The only time I could have came up with was when Manny fought Solis in October (not sure) of 07. That was around the elections and Guzman was the number 1 guy in the running to land a Pacquiao fight. They were in talks to have it in Vancouver (If my memory serves me correct) but the fight fell apart for reason I have never had explained to me, and he ended up fighting Solis instead.

FWIW Manny won his first two world titles against slick boxers in Sasakul and Ledwaba. Both were consired to top fighters in their division when Manny beat them.....making the whole Manny ducking slick fighters a dumb and ignorate statement to make.

Only thing that goes to show you is this; Most of those *****s have limited knowledge on the sport of boxing pre-Mayweather vs Gatti.

Sasakul was a C level slick fighter at best and Ledwaba wasn't really slick he just had good boxing skills. He didn't do anything fancy.

Is Mayweather really considered slick??

In the way he avoided the punches of Margarito, Cotto and Manny.
