What do you think about "Rope a Dope"?

It can be, but it's a dangerous style. It puts u in harms way and is very risky. Especially against a hard puncher.

 

Yes, it can be used today, in fact Mayweather Jr. used it briefly in the Pacquiao fight when Manny was throwing flurries on him against the ropes. This lil bald headed sissy talked big turd out of his mouth about Ali using it in one fight for years just to make it his main defense in the biggest fight if his career. He also used it in the Maidana fight.

The rope a dope is still alive.

 

Of course it could, but it takes a dope to fall for it. Levi Forte, who developed it said the rope a dope would only work against a headstrong fighter.

 

It can be pulled off but you rarely see it because it's risky. It could work against a strong finisher. Take a guy like Wilder (whom I like) but when he has a guy hurt, or believe he does he goes all out and gets pretty reckless and leaves openings to be countered. Even in his last fight Brezeale caught Wilder with 2 shots that at the very least that backed Wilder up off of him briefly. It's really no different than a fighter pretending to be hurt (rope-a-dope) but it just depends.

 

Rope-a-Dope was invented by Ali and used against Foreman.
Only Ali can do Rope-a-dope style in boxing perfectly, nobody else.
