How come so many so called Boxing fans think that the Slick Boxer types are skilled?

[King Ghidorah]

Like guys like Devon Alexander or Zab Judah as examples?

Because of their styles and their "slick" "elusive" style people always confuse every fighter of that type as being skilled?


And then when they see a Jake Lamotta, Roberto Duran (he was askilled boxer but gets confused by so for a sloppy brawler), Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto Alfredo Angulo or Lucas Mattysse....And say that they are flatfooted and slow and have no technique or skill?


They should refraze it...... "I like his style" "I don't like his style"

Because half these guys can't fight and are afraid of getting hit.

They want to learn how to hit and not be hit in a street fight.

Little do they know, unless you get off first and have massive punching power, boxing will rarely ever work in a street fight.

I hate when guys use sound effects when they're throwing punches like Roy did.

Well Judah really wasn't that skilled. Not at all.

And, neither Judah or Alexander were slick fighters either.

The only thing that made them slick to some is their skin color.

What do you mean by that part?

I don't quite get it.

gotta disagree jro. those two weren't the best examples, but judah is/was slick. of course, zab has been a big bag a crazy his whole career so we can interpret that guy in any number of ways. he's got just about the lowest iq for a guy with his gifts I've ever seen.

Less damage should equal a longer career.

Look at Bernard Hopkins and James Toney

James could still run cruiser weight if he could get down to the weight.

Would still do well at heavy also.

Alexander is a horrible example to use;atleast Judah showed himself capable of pulling off certain defensive moves in a fight(even though he was never anywhere near consistent enough to be considered a truly "slick" fighter") - Alexander is just as defensively inept as could possibly be.

see this is why the ignore feature is good

There is a high level of racial hate n this board.

Peaceout lil fella
