    :lol:

    They're the best guys of my generation, likeable characters and they were/are all willing to fight anyone. I've never been able to fully get behind Holyfield. The guy is nothing short of a great warrior, but the way he's blown his money and went on far, far too long really puts me off him. Also he isn't sharpest tool in the shed, unfortunately

    Also I've never been able to get behind the old fighters in the same way. Their careers are over, there are no upcoming fights to be interested in and I never experienced the build up to their fights :?

    S,"Is like Beethoven with 4 ounce gloves on ", I like that quote, because Beethoven was the greatest composer of all-time, as was Joe Louis,the best
    puncher of all-time... Listening to Beethoven's fifth symphony and watching
    the leverage of Joe Louis's combo's, is as good as it get's for me S :good

    I get the need to watch the upcoming ****. But dude. If you wanna opost on the classic you gotta watch classic boxing. Otherwise you're missing out on the best nahhmean? Just watch this ****, okay? Who cares if you know what's already gonna happen. I'm probably younger than you and I can get down with this. Just enjoy the fights, dog.

    thanks for that. Have you never heard the word 'natural' used next to puncher? Because I have, and on tv too, well 'natural' basically describes the opposite of 'composite' when talking about punchers. Anyway, I don't give a **** what you think is acceptable, and I don't care for your elitist attitude either. I was discussing composite punchers, if I want to discuss fighters who have great footwork but only to the left then I'll do that too. And actually, I've seen Floyd Patterson commenting on how Robinson got power into short punches so perfectly, and that is exactly 'composite' punching, sorry we've came up with a new word for it and it has upset your traditionalist old fart ways. And I will take Floyd Patterson over any of the media thst you've been jerking off to any day thanks.

    But from now on, just to ***** foot around you, I'll refrain from praising Louis' ability to channel power and be economic with it. In fact now, I won't do that. Thanks for the **** post and the **** attitiude, but no thanks.

    I know, you're talking about guys with natural power. It's not a crime to differentiate. Relax now. I don't see your beef.
