Is it OK to say "Black Style"?

[Manny_P]

tis is no racist thing by NO MEANS. So pls.

but anyways, I don't wanna sound stoopid, but is thurrr otha fightas that fight same way like Mayweatha, Zahir Raheem, Roy Jones, Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, even Sugar Ray Robinson and Meldrick Taylor etc that aint black?

I find these fightas style awesome and really fun to watch. Those kinds kind of make you go "Ohhhhhs and ahhhhhs". They fast, slick, and twitchy and has amazing jabs.


I'd like to get mo boxing knowledge. WHO STARTED TIS KINDA STYLE OF BOXING? And is it okay to say that it "Black Style" jest like how many of us say "Mexican Style" of fighting?

I personally dont think Mosley is a "slick fighter" but thats just me. I know what you mean Manny P.

[TuPrincipe]

Mexican style is known to be blood and guts, and warrior types.

I'm not sure who started this, but I do agree with you that most African-American's use this style, probably because they are generally known to be "faster" fighters.

you never hear them saying "this is black fighting at its best!" during Ali vs Frazier....

but you hear plenty of "MEXICAN! Mexican fighting at its best"

kind of interesting...

I just say stylists

and yes I agree that Mosley has never really be a slick fighter...but he is a stylist...

stylist is broad though...Mosley is a hyperactive stylist...Floyd is a defensive stylist

I've never heard of the "black style" before you brought it up. Are you sure you just didn't make it up? It seems too general a phrase to categorize boxers and their styles. If you say that Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield, etc. employed a "black style" of fighting, it doesn't really help to analyze their styles, skills, or weaknesses.

it means they aint afraid of gettin hit as long as they hit ta otha guy. Like Julio Ceazar Chaves gainst Taylor. Was eating 3 bombs and he would spurt 1 punch.
