unlike you, i have a job. i know, it's crazy isn't it? and i have other things to do then play this 24/7. not that i don't like this game, i love it. i come on whenever i can. but that isn't enough is it?
but larry has been playing it since ..... saying that he has alot of fights doesnt mean that he has been playing 24/7 you maybe play more than he does.
My fav boxers are de la hoya ghatti Ali and tyson in his prime
if you said that list on a boxing forum you would get crucified.
de la hoya-is an amazing athlete but his politics to get belts and stay well clear form mandatories is unheard of.... at least ray leonard forght the best in thier prime hearns,benitez,lalonde .but going form super feather to middlewieght is unheard of(though he did get a hiding and should of lost to sturm)he is the most luckiest fighter i have ever heard of. got gift and i mean GIFT judge calls.
quartey-ike left hooked his way to victory all night and not at one time did delahoya stop the hook coming
sturm- as a i mentioned above was jabbing moving staying on his feet didnt get tapped hard while oscar just tried to barge his man out the way which he couldnt do.
even in the mosley fight he was only 2 points away from getting a draw how bad is that.
he is a celebrity not a boxer
gatti-was a punch bag that fought back. everyone wants to fight him not becuase he is a great opposition but becuase he makes everyone look like sugar ray clay jones jr out there makes them look like amazing fighters. his power was incredible but only becuase he kept coming was the reason why he koed guys.the worst defence form a modern fighter hands down (see what i did there i said hands down becuase that where he leaves his hands man im one funny guy).
ali and tyson- great choice but it's a bit blatent. if you asked someone on the street who thier favorite fighter it would be tyson...then ali.
but both men were superb fighters in total comparisons.

if he was trained to be a boxer then i would let him into a pro fight but throwing him in with a boxer puncher with a decent record and he aint gonna last.
k-1 is a far closer comparison. if sefo had trained in boxing for alot longer and learnt the skills to defend all punches then it would be far more interesting.
i would say he did have good power but for a heavywieght it was light contact...not alot of technique just raw throwing fist to point A to point B
well shock and awe im a taekwondo/kickboxing and i feel that going 12 rounds compared to 5 rounds is the same thing
in sparring it takes a toll to throw kicks and best to use them rarely. but if you see pernell whitaker who throws(on average) 100 punches a round...what do you expect from a mma fighter who is trying to compose his energy and strength for one big hit...
i have seen mma guys gettin gkoed by a JAB now the first defence is to BLOCK why is a man relying on his slippign skills when a left hand parry would scuttle it away.
the point about boxing is that it is about skill and ability. in mma the biggerman has the better chanceand i dont mean by big being butterbean esque just heavier in stature...the defence in mma is to weave away it's good but you WILL get tagged sooner or later.
im not against mma it's just this belif that it "pwns" everything is rediculus tell me if kimbo had fought ray mercer in a boxing match what would be the result...im sure it would be a jab and cross win for mercer. using his reach his stamina and his regular workrate.
they are totally different things and to say that one is better is comparing wood to plastic yea they can be used to make shelves and equipment...but they are in no way the same.

well come on man it's unsportsmanlike...even though this isnt a sport nor are we proffesionals but the point is that you are here to fight...if you dont then whats the point at all
take the bitter with the sweet

I want some people to use real boxing techniques...you may say oh its just a game. and well done you are correct but i have seen some people do basic mistakes that get them koed or in bad trouble.
Definately go with you there. I messed up all the time and got myself body KO'd by round 3. Otherwise, i would have done well in my fights.
Edit: It could do with fixed grammar
my grama isnt' perfick but it i be change it. im editing as we speak...as i speak.....as i post.....im editing it after i have posted this.

Few mistakes to point out, you can't do a V-step on OB. Describe it as constat movement and it'l be easier for people to understand.
Jab and Grab doesn't necessarily work as you can get caught with counters or shovel punches easily if your stepping in. Put to jab then fight your way inside to get back to outside boxing or something.
Totally agree with the feints thing. I find it great to confuse people.
Nice work.
well the jab and grab isnt really a jab more of a tap and grab would be more accurate.
just a body jab then block on the way in.
or a head jab then hooks.
