    Anyone whos boxed before knows that not being able to land is the most de-motivating thing you can experience.

    This. It feels like two people are holding your arms back as he's able to hit you as he pleases.

    I disagree, its different for different people.....

    I like to jab, so if somone can counter my jab well and often that demotivates me.....

    Some people get demotivated if they get pressured and dont have room to box

    Ive seen alot of punchers get demotivated by guys with good footwork because they have to get their feet set before they punch

    Just because you boxed, dosent make you some kind of authority.... Its differnt for everyone

    Out of fighters currently active, it's Wlad Klitschko for me and I don't consider it that close. He's broken the will of every opponent he's fought for years now.

    Just imagine- they've all seen what happened in the Sanders fight, and so every time the challenger gets the call, that's what their mind goes back to. That he'll cave in the instant he's touched, and all they have to do is get by the jab to do it. Then the fight happens, and the first thing they realize he's not nearly as easy to even get a solid shot landed on. His movement's better than they expected. They're not even faster than him. Soon, they're eating jabs like Pez candy because it's better than the alternative of straight rights and left hooks that carry 1 punch knockout power. He takes so few risks, there's far too few mistakes to capitalize on.

    In a handful of rounds, their will's just broken. It's like we see a replay of the same thing every time he fights because every challenger has that initial, take the fight to him mentality, but winds up the same shell at the end. Wlad doesn't even look like he's gone 80% of what he could do by the time the fight's over.

    If that's not demoralizing, I don't know what is.

    That wouldn't be 'demotivating' necessarily; just brief.

    Bernard Hopkins, specifically in the second fight, because win, lose or draw your ass has a t-minus waiting on your head for when the floor falls in on your career because of him. It happened to Jermaine Taylor and it happened to Segundo Mercado. Hell Trinidad probably should have never fought again after their first fight.

    Many a good point made that i agree with, but personally it would he Hamed. I don't have Barrera's talent so afrer little time i would know he is taking the **** out of me and i am about to get knocked out!


    I agree with the Hopkins/Calzaghe/prime RJJ shouts e.t.c.

    I agree with this. When you see those press conferences and see how huge the Klitchko's are against their opponents, sometimes I wonder what the opposition is thinking when they look up at either Vitali or Vlad.
