Floyd has NEVER fought a slick African American fighter

[sigrab jr]

@ 1:58 and 2:55 of round 1 you can Judah slickness. I have never seen Pacquiao doing that. Yeah whatever I know Judah lost that fight in the next round but check out his movement in the time frame I said.



I'd get more examples but i'm too lazy right now.

And, anybody who calls Judah slick doesn't get it.

And, for the first 6 rounds of that fight Cotto wasn't running away.

And, it doesn't mattter if that is his style. Cuz' he tried and as long as you try you're slick.

He was moving away the whole fight, fighting off the back foot. He lost because he didn't fight to his strength he was trying to fight to Margarito weakness which was not a strong part of his game.

He is a slick fighter that is what he does, you don't get it whether he is good at it or not is a completely different matter but that is Judah's game.

I've seen Cotto fight. He can be somewhat slick. He can switch gears from boxing to brawling to punching. He utilizes back breaking hooks to go around his opponents guard.

Put it this way.. Pac and Marg ended Cotto because they eventually pierced his defense. Cotto hates it when you pierce his defense, even though its not that good.. then he tries to give a different look

Cotto matched Judah's slickness a bit in their fight though. He fought crafty and ruthless.

Judah is slick offensively. He popped Mayweather at that strange angle as May was comin in scoring the only legitimate kd of his career from a punch. He also snuck in some nice overhand lefts, right through Floyd's vaunted guard. You can attribute all that to him being a fast handed southpaw, but the way he sets up his punches is slick, when he gets going.

I wouldn't consider neither Judah nor Cotto slick. I don't care how much they "try" just cuz' you try doesn't make you slick.

But, overall good post.

I would call slippery more defensive than slick. Slippery means you don't get hit clean really (to me).

Slick to me means how you transition from offense to defense and back and can you defend and attack at the same time.

haha dude slick is the new **** in todays boxing vocabulary.

in other words:
its a progressive commercial word used by the media.

zab judah is as slick as they come

So you're going to tell me that Malignaggi is not slick now? And you're going to tell me he's a defensive fighter?

First Judah is not slick, now Malignaggi ain't slick. Every one has to be a slick as Pernell now to be considered slick?

Slick and defensive are two different things.

to be a slick you have to have good reflexes. with good reflexes you see punches coming so you either can block it or duck punches. that's the main ingredient of being slick. good reflexes always makes up for a good defense. some fighters can look good with their head and body movement and their footwork but if they don't have good reflexes they can't be considered slick. that's the reason they get hit a lot.

Slick certainly ain't a new term in boxing.

Keep up with the thread.

As long as you try you're slick.

You have no respect for Zab I get it but your hate is clouding your mind from the type of fighter he is.

If you think he is good at that method or not is a completely different matter.

[jrosales13]

Sadly, your probably right.

It just ridiculous.

But, if JMM was African American, some of these dudes would of called him a slick fighter in his prime.
