Define Ring Generalship

The abillity to control the action in the ring. To make your oppoent either chase you or retreet from you. To be where you want to be and for your oppoent to be where you want him to be. To throw the punch you want to throw when you want to throw it and to make your oppoent throw the punches you want him to throw when you want him too.

 

floyd..manny.. both ring generals.

ward vs. green...ward the general.

 

The man who controls the action in the ring. The boss in the ring.

 

Well, how about I spell it for you instead, Pete? V-A-L-U-E-V.

 

H-o-l-y-f-i-e-l-d

 

It's like being a general. Of the ring.

 

....**** you. :bart

 

Joe Frazier...thread closed.

 

Who was beaten in his prime by a past it Valuev who was taking it easy on him? Psh!

Now,...this is just unseemly, brother. Why won't you let him into your heart? For it is He that can heal your soul with his medicinal poetry.

 

Jim Corbett, ladies and gents.

 

not as simple as the bull vs. matador, i think. when fighter A is picking both his spots and fighter B's spots, that's ring generalship.

 

the ability to control the pace and style of the fight.

Hopkins is the ultimate ring general.


another example: if Berto and Mosley were to fight, I would say that Mosley should try to make it a dogfight, and that Berto should try to box and keep the fight in the center. Depending on how the fight plays out you could say who is the ring general.

 

past it valuev? wow already? against his black grandpappy that gave him a lesson?

then the euro audience boo'd that **** like everyone at home did. i realized everyone there was an actual boxing fan in that arena...
