most obscure boxing reference in a rap song...go

[Curt Henning]

**** fame, homie, I rap for the change only
Counter-punch suckers for lunch, I'm James Toney

From the GOAT sean Price

not very obscure...but the way sean price kicked off "dirtiest playas in the game" off that ogc record many years ago

Aiyyo I step in the ring weighing two-hundred and twenty
Cuz I do gotta get money, mad dudes wanna confront me
But they can't, **** wit my speed and my power
The combination'll **** you up just like weed and some powder
The Iron Mike of this rap ****, mad *****s appear soft
Spit some **** from my mouth piece that'll rip your ****in ears off
Leave you punch-drunk when I hit you wit bottles of Smirnov

['b']

Don't know if this one counts as it's not about boxing per se, but it is about some guys on NSB.

The song is called 'Stan' from Eminem (piss be upon him)

Always loved this Pharoahe reference in Push

...Your weak-ass Compubox power shots miss and fly over me. My accurate jabs connect like rotary...

[alexguiness]

I think Eminem made a Freddy Roach / Parkinsons reference on one track on Recovery?

[Vinnykin]

This isn't rap per se, or even boxing.....

Artist: Raekwon
Title: 100 Rounds

Not a lyrical reference but in the video for this song you see a young Floyd and Zab training and shadow boxing each other. Year was 2000. Check out the lyricism here and to think this was considered "mainstream" back then really shows you how Hip Hop has fallen off.

Wasn’t that off Immobilarity? Wouldn’t consider that mainstream lol

What I mean is that song was being played on TV daily and on the radio. you don't hear lyricists like that on radio today. Nowadays everybody wants to copy the Atlanta sound.
