Is this father setting his son up for an epic failure?

They seem to sell themselves as fitness gurus, I think it's all part of that greater scheme / scam. Look at the tight aerobics outfits and the instructional DVD's.

On the other hand there's footage of daddy and son Steele in Roger Mayweathers gym. They must pay him considerate amounts of cash because he didn't burst out in laughter or tears.

 

I said he was trying, not succeeding.

 

Great White Hope? Has this guy even been watching boxing for the past 10 years?

 

nice!! :rofl

 

Didn't you ever think that Ali was such a great fighters because he wasn't technically correct? He lead with his right hand, he pulled straight back. All the things ali did confused your Technically correct boxers defence. Heard of Aaron Pryor? Heard of Roy Jones? Sugar ray Robinson? A lot of great fighter had unusual Styles and it is what made them great.

 

That's all well and good but we are talking about a boxer who is coming up (or trying to) In the amateurs, not a 15 round heavyweight fight. The sport is amateur boxing and he's not going to win fights with that style, he doesn't have the athleticism and he's not going to score points in the amateurs with those little slappy shots. Ali wasn't that great, he was faster than most heavyweights and he had alot of heart, he wasn't the best boxer. The sport advances, there are not too many styles around that a top boxer can't use or defend against. Technically correct should be the foundation for every boxer unless you are a freak athlete. Mayweather has the perfect combination, I think he can call himself the best boxer ever and people shouldn't get upset.

 

Is this the latest scam of the family that said their kids flew away in a balloon? Im pretty sure i saw it hanging up on the wall in one of those clips.

Compare to Tyson at same age.

 

Unusual styles developed having grasped and understood the fundamentals. Not everyone is going to box the same or have the same approach but if this guy looks like Aaron Pryor, Roy Jones, Ray Robinson to you then you need to re-watch.

All the fighters you named were unusually gifted. Robinson used angles but most of his shots were delivered with fine technique. Pryor had an incredible chin and huge reserves of stamina. Ali had a great chin and a tremendous boxing brain. Jones had unmatchable speed thanks mainly to his dabbling with roids probably.

Whats unusual about this kid, other then his dad been a complete ****?

 

Why Don't you go back and see what question I answered! It had nothing to do with the poor kid in the clip.

 

My Answer was in regard to this"Why base a style off Ali? He was hardly unbeatable or a solid technician." Mayweather has perfect combo's while he is in control , If he fought everyone like other greats we would know more wouldn,t we?

 

Yes it does because you were arguing that the training concept was a good one- engage brain, then type- where have you come from?

 

Thanks for clearing that up- that makes no sense whatsoever.

 

Unusual styles, yes, but also tremendous athleticism, experience, and natural gifts.

 

Sven Ottke wouldnt have had a good boxing career trying to imitate Ali.

You need a very specific biological makeup.

 

It is not my fault u don't have the experience to understand!
