"Offense Is No Longer A Skill Of Boxing"-Haters

[Phil Ivey]

No one said a defensive fighter was a more complete fighter than an offensive fighter, stop over exaggerating. Ward has a more complete arsenal than Pacquiao, its not just offense there are plenty more.

[CHOWWOKKA]

*Sobbing* Manny is as equally skilled as all of them.

lol thats all the TS wants...

Man I can't wait until Pacquiao goes away and the Pinoy find some new hobby to obsess and troll the internet about...

[Bushbaby]

But Pacman is not a complete offensive fighter, not even in the slightest. A complete offensive fighter knows one of the simplest tricks in the book. When your opponent moves away from you, don't follow in straight lines, cut the ring off. Pacman can't even do that. Hos coaches are so lame, they bring up the same excuses over and over.Leg cramps were played out after the excuse came up against Mosley.

I agree, people think good defense, better skilled than a offesive fighter wich is really ******!!

Ill want to see somebody throw a 9 punch combo like Pacquiao does, all at angles and still Knock you out in the mix of it!!

Besides Hatton...who has Pac slept??? Not hatin but let's stop with the "Pac KO's this guy or that guy" crap!!! He gets it in but 9 punch combos all with ko power is overboard.

In any sport u play...any coach will tell u that everybody has more off nights depending on offense than defense. It's been proven that if guys don't walk straight at Pac, Pac looks ordinary.

If Pac vs May happens and Pac lands a clean 2 or 3 punch combo on him I'll be impressed but we kno thats not gonna happen...its safe to say that Pac will miss between 70-80% of his punches tho!

Defensive fighters like FLoyd are just guilty they cant entertain a audience and ko people so they try justifying their style as more complete.

Why does Mayweather have 26 KO's on his record if he "can't KO people?"

[CasualBoxingFan]

Malignaggi, Ward, Whitaker, Bradley, Mayweather


are all more complete than Pacquiao.


Uh huh........ but you are all discounting offense.


Boxing is the art of fisticuff combat. It originated from barenuckle boxing fighting until 1 person wins. no judges.

It was completely based on offense. Offense wins fights. Not defense. You can't win a fight diving and dodging throwing ***g0t punches that don't phase your opponent.

Ward and Bradley are not more complete than Pacquiao. They are point fighters in a sport that has deviated from the core appeal of boxing. KO's.


That is why Boxing is dying. Mayweather is only a draw because of his mouth. His fights are boring.




You can argue another way all you want. The fact is, historically boxing has always favored the offensive fighters. The point riders wouldn't even get marquee fights until recently, sport dying.

What did Cus say to Tyson? that's right.

At the same time, Americans no longer have fighters with true offense, so they've decided to debate boxing is about defensive abilities.


It's laughable.


Sorry son. If I see you dipping and diving on the streets your shirt will be yanked and you will be out cold within 5 seconds.


Real talk.

Every fighter is different, some fighters are born with good power, others are not. If They don't got it, they make up for in defense to even the match.
What good is your offense if you can't land? We just saw that on JMM/MP III. Only thing is that JMM is good at doing both with good pop.
