1973 George Foreman vs 1919 Jack Dempsey

Is this thread even about the original subject matter any more?

 

No, no, the the first defenestration of Prague was in 1419. You're thinking of the second defenestration of Prague, which was in 1618. Egad, sir, get your defenestrations straight!

Wait, what was the subject?...

 

Oh, the internet existed, but its servers were powered by rhesus monkeys frantically shifting abacus beads at the crack of a whip, and it was used mostly for viewing South-Asian shock porn in 72p with gif level framerates.

 

You forgot when he got the whole wrong take on that newbie who was having issues at his gym with a trainer. He went on for pages disagreeing with everyone else - and then 180 turned and agreed with everything experienced posters had pointed out and virtually admitted he was just being an arse.

 

Some are. Cops are like teachers in several ways. Some are very good, some are very bad, the position itself is underpaid, the worst deserve a painful and undignified death from stomach cancer, and the best deserve the highest respect for serving honorably in a difficult, underappreciated, and genuinely noble profession.

Should we just rename this the classic community thread

 

I honestly think in some ways that's worse than flat out troll "advice"

Only train for 2 rounds, the adrenaline will take you through the rest.

Straight punches are only any good if you are shorter than your opponent

Always move in straight lines because It's the shortest distance between two points

Never spar at less than 100% or you'll be lazy in the real thing.

Learn to throw arm punches first because they are easier.

Shadow box with the heaviest weights you can pick up to learn to hit harder

 

Thats the impression i got. I remember him saying he only weighed 120. Either that was more of his trolling to continue his trollish agenda or he was serious and he indeed has a serious psychological issue that explains why he acted the way he did.

 

I mean some of the stuff he says sounds like common sense...unless youve actually trained in boxing lol.

Yes its true sparring at less than 100% can impact you when the fight happens but it would be foolish to, for example, only spar once or twice in an 8 week camp because your toe hurts.

Yes throwing arm punches are easier but thats exactly why you shouldnt purposefully train to use them. Its a lazy mans fighting style.

Yes moving in a straight line is the shortest distance between 2 points, but that shouldnt literally be your first response in any situation. Thats incredibly bone headed.

Not even gonna explain the stupidity of training for 2 rounds or only throwing straight punches if youre shorter.

The guys a crack pot. He says things that sound logical at first but again, anyone whose trained for more than 3 months or has an ounce of actual knowledge can point out the holes in his logic.

 

I think that was just satire--I don't think he actually said those things.
