    In a recent British Forum thread, a topic was raised about Head Butting.

    But for me personally, this topic brought to the front of my mind.

    The Area of boxing, which is totally overlooked....and unappreciated by some ***** ass, ****ers in this British forum.

    And the area is "Rough House Tactics"......A Vital Skill.

    The Bottom line is, Professional boxing is not amateur game, its all about style and aggressive, which then hopefully results in inflicting damage.

    Sometimes fighters get in trouble, sometimes fighters are just not technically good enough to out box a opponent, or maybe some guys inside the ring, just want to totally man handle there opponents........maybe they just want to bully their opponents.

    All of these situations and more, are situations when rough house tactics are used.

    Some of the greatest fighters of all time, past and present all used Rough House tactics.

    Bernard Hopkins

    Likes using his head, likes holding....pushing guys about, walking them back to the ropes. Throwing a straight right hand, with his head down...then "Boom".

    Floyd Mayweather

    Stuck his elbow in Ricky Hatton's face, Ricky Hatton vs Floyd Mayweather......showed Floyd Mayweather rough house tactics on a world stage........he was'nt going to be bullied by Ricky Hatton.

    Mike Tyson

    Mike Tyson would occasional, elbow his opponents in the face on the inside. Or he would throw a left or right hook, and at the last moment turn his elbow into it..............and connect smack in the face.

    Nigel Benn

    If you held Nigel Benn, he would just at times smack you on the back of the head.

    The Man in my avatar, Evander Holyfield one of the greatest technicians of rough house tactics of all-time.


    The Bottom line is, that Rough House tactics are apart of the professional game. Fighters who moan about it, should **** off back to the amateurs, fans who moan about it, should **** off and watch some Children's TV.


    Its a Skill, to handle yourself inside of the ring.

    I've always thought that excessive rough house tactics are employed by those not skilled enough to win within the rules. If you are saying rabbit punches and head butting should be allowed then maybe you should **** off and go watch a bar fight if that's the kind of thing you're into.

    I can see Kool's points, but there has to be a line.
    If you wanna watch elbowing, watch MMA. How are you supposed to block an elbow in boxing? You shouldn't have to. Roughing your opponent up by pushing him around or being a bit naughty is expected, low blows, headbutts, elbows, rabbit punching, thumbing etc isn't boxing. That's the cowards way out.

    PM is talking ****. It is not in the rules, which is why rabbit punching and butting are fouls for which you can be disqualified.
    Street fighting seems to be what you want to watch mate.

    I'm not talking ****, Rough House Tatics are a vital skill. Its not just about buttingm and rabbit punching, there is more to rough house tatics than that.

    Holding/grappling inside in affect is a rough house tatic, stepping on their toe's....smacking them on the hip, punching peope in the arms, walking a mofo back, i could go on and on.

    Rough House Tatics are a vital skill.

    There's a skill to 'roughhousing' yes...is it something to be proud of...errm no!

    This is a sport which has lost great brave warriors. Rabbit Punching is not on mate and nor is headbutting. This Sport isn't called the sweet science for no reason. I don't mind rough fighters...i truly appreciate all styles and that's why we purr over the greats of each era because of there skill but for me if you wanna be a skill rough house guy **** off to your local bar or have it out on street.

    Have you got a problem with Nigel Benn, Evander Holyfield, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton........

    They all used and use Rough House tatics.

    Its a skill, its apart of the game.

    Hatton Yes....Errm Hopkins yes....Holy Yes....Benn Yes....Mayweather Yes...but some of them names were great in other aspects. Just because they were great fighters doesn't make it right. It's part of the sport....but if it's used constantly and done with intent to harm a fellow fighter i think it's bang out of order. It's dangerous enough in that ring fighting to rules...

    But sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.

    What a load of ****. This is boxing, not a damn pub brawl. There are things called rules. They are there for a reason. Most boxers are guilty to some extent but to say people shouldn't moan about them is stupid. I know your name is Primadonna but don't be coming up on here acting all arrogant while pushing your views you twat:lol:. You need to **** off and watch eastenders where you can watch Phil Mitchell beating the **** out of Grant Mitchell using glasses and other objects as weapons.

    It's a skill? Skill my arse

    I don't get arrogant, i am arrogant.

    I don't care, i'm not here to be nice.

    People like you, with your little Manny Pac avatar. The same Manny Pac that is going to get beat down, rough housed and sparked the **** out by Floyd Mayweather.

    Don't you start getting ****ing arrogant with me.......don't start getting all confident.

    I'm talking about a legitimate issue here, Rough House tactics are a skill.

    I bet you in these rough..Philla Gyms, where James Toney and Bernard Hopkins emerged from.

    They where learnt...how to deal with Rough House tatics and rough fighters.

    Its a skill, its apart of the game.

    I train some pros. We work on little bits you can get away with, raking the ear in the clinch with the inner glove, thumbing any potential cuts in clinch, making sure if heads meet ours is not in the eye area etc....It is a neccersary part of a pro boxers knowledge.

    :rofl Dude listen to yourself get a ****ing grip.

    Like I said, you're watching the wrong sport. Go find a pub which is known for trouble, get yourself a pint and sit back and enjoy a brawl or two. You will find all the elbowing, biting, headbutting you want.

    As for Floyd, well if you wanna talk about him then it's pathetic how you used to diss him and now kiss his ass at every opportunity ever since he whooped your hero Shane Mosley.

    Everybody knows here that Roy Jones Junior and Mike Tyson, are my most like fighters. Shane Mosley was a fighter i respected, but he was far from my hero.....but he's a great fighter.

    Floyd Mayweather gained my respect in that fight against Shane Mosley, he opened my eye's and made me a believe........he made me believe.

    Some people go there whole lives, preaching profanity, slating the bible, and then they have a moment, a spiritual moment in life.

    When they find belief and they find religion and they find God.

    Its the same with me, and boxing. I'm no ***** ass fan, i don't get excited over afew fighters because they have fought afew professional fights. I think I'm more talented then most of the guys i see on the TV, like and Friday Fight and stuff.........

    I'm a critic first, and I'm a fan last.........I'm a very hard man, a very very hard man to convince.

    Floyd Mayweather convinced me, and i have the upmost respect this man, and i think he is The Truth.
