Let's list all the Race/Boxing Styles?

[BostonGuy]

Great White (American) Hope: A white boxer who has reached contender status but never quite makes it to the top because of his proclivity to lose to top black fighters. Characteristics include good power, toughness, but a have a weak chin and less skill than "Black American Stylistic Boxers." Examples of great white hopes include Tommy Morrison, Jerry Quarry, Gerry Cooney...

I'll edit the first post to include all the different "styles" in a little bit once we have some more.

'The English Narcoleptic'

Often cautiously built by cynical promotion companies, the narcoleptic has a tendency to recurrently fall unconcious once eventually posed with a legitimate challenge. The style is most expertly applied by Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan.

How would you deferrentiate the Agile Asian Sniper from the Puerto Rican boxer puncher?

Puerto Ricans punch harder generally, are slicker and more well-rounded.


Kostya Tszyu and Pacquiao are 2 Asian snipers. Both stalkers with ridiculous in and out movement speed. I believe Asian snipers are more reliant on their feet and legs than anything. That is also where they get their punching power.


Asians are mostly short dudes... but have huge legs.

Often cautiously built by cynical promotion companies, the narcoleptic has a tendency to run face first into haymakers once eventually posed with a legitimate challenge. The style is most expertly applied by Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan.

Would it be safe to classify Enzo Maccarinelli as an English Narcoleptic? However very funny, I don't think I can include this in the main post as it's more humor oriented. The Black American Style is no joke!

Well, he's Welsh, but yeah he does seem to doze off at rather inappropriate moments. To be fair to him I guess the lad needs as much beauty sleep as he can muster. I suppose we'll change it to 'British Narcoleptic' and share responsibility for his porcelain chin. Eurobum unity is what we need.

The white european style: It's about power, strenght, toughness and offense examples are Froch, Abraham, Hatton, Vitali. They are offensive and have great durability.

Also European fighters can be more of the technical type like Kessler and Wladimir.

The black american style: It's about speed, reflexes, footwork and superior athleticism. Examples are Ali, Jones Jr, Mayweather. This style is superior to all other styles but only very few fighters can execute it. Some black fighters can't execute this style and have to compensate with technical skills like Hopkins or with chin and heart like Holyfield.

The Mexican style: Mexican fighters are great warriors who never take a step back and never give up, some mexican warriors like Marquez uses a more technical style but it dosen't take away from his toughness.

occasionaly some mexicans can get mixed up over their identity and start to run in crucial rounds like de la hoya against trinidad. If this happens their trainer and the mexican fans have to yell at them in spanish to get them to remember that they are mexicans and fight like warriors.

The Rugged Argentine

Always putting out blue collar performances, quiet/minimal trash talking, strong chins, good power, in many instances slightly faster hands than their Mexican counterparts but compensated by a slightly decreased workrate.

Examples include: Lucas Matthyse, Marcos Maidana,

No matter your talent level, you cannot afford to wilt against this sort of hyper-determined style. (Unless your name is Zab Judah, in which case you can occasionally afford it. See Baldomir/Judah, Judah/Matthyse)
