    One of those people that becomes one of the worst posters on the site within their first thread and never looks back. He hasn't even hit that first month mark and it's already notorious amounts of dumb****ery.

    Another Pacquiao trait. Clottey showed that Manny has no inside game.....every time he got inside he landed punches (mainly uppercuts) and Manny wouldn't respond until he created distance from Clottey.

    This guy isn't in Mayweather's league, he never was or will be.

    emmanuel gets hit a lot. You can't afford the same liability when you have the worst chin in the sport. emmanuel has no clinch game. Khan knows how to clinch and will need to a lot in his career, so he should learn how to fight in the clinches.

    well if that fighter depends on his chin and you don't have one, then that's a problem. It's simple thing when learning to box, you should watch tape of fighters similar to you. If anything, Amir should emulate Mayweather and learn not to get hit and use his speed from the outside better

    Pacquiao does this and then responds with combinations. At times tonight Khan was doing it and then shipping more punishment.
     

  9. Emmanuel is one of the cleanest fighters in the game. Never fights dirty. Ever. And that includes the completely baseless steroids accusations.

    :good

    Okay, he popped Marquez when Marquez was clinging onto the ropes... but that was a more in the heat of the moment thing than a cheap trick.

    So you encouraging fighters to cheat in order to be considered very skilled? :patsch

    You aware that holding is an illegal tactic in the sport of boxing right.

    Just curious... have you ever even created a thread? I went through the first few pages and didn't find any. Have you ever had an original thought, or do you always piggy back on what other people start?

    Exactly

    Pacquiao is in a class of precisely two boxers, along with Mayweather. Those two are clearly better than anyone else currently active, or indeed anyone active since Pernell Whitaker retired.

    What the hell is wrong with trying to emulate that guy? Should he try to learn from some journeyman instead?

    Khan is not the finished article, but he's astonishingly good for a 24 year old.
     
  14. Floyd Mayweather Junior is a dirty mutha****er... he's all elbows, forearms, and headpushing.

    :deal

    You mean chin? PEDs, or A-side Meth?
