Lool I discovered that shi*t too. Africans are so inferior in their thinking pattern, Hollywood movies and TV shows are doing a job of brainwashing many Africans.

I don't have to propose kneeling down, kudos to those who do but I don't see myself doing that. It is a western culture which is understandable given that fact most white men are typically effeminate, docile and subdued by their women.

However it's a sacrilege for a testosterone-filled black man like me to kneel before a woman. Kneeling down to propose implies she's doing me a favour which is totally not the case.

The willingness to get married to that person is what matters, not the proposal.

Built2last:
Permit me to say that i am not comfortable with the WESTS' sudden interest in Nigeria.

Blair is here...I heard Obama is coming July.

Dont tell me GEJ shattered our foreign image.

something is fishy and time is the revealer of intents.

These people will not relent till they bring Nigeria down .

You sounded reasonable till the bolded.

What possible reason could the west have for wanting to bring Nigeria down? Down from what anyway.. Corruption, terrorism, poverty?

It's really amusing to see simpletons like you talk as if there's some grand western conspiracy against Nigeria. If for anything, you lot should be happy Buhari has started to claw back some international respect and recognition. 6 years of neglect has done Nigeria no good.

No10:
Has anyone else observe that this Niyi dude is always in the foreground of all their pictures,relegating Gloria - who is btw very good in the eyes - to the background? Either he has inferiority complex,loves attention or has no clue on how to treat a woman.

Shut up! Sissy. How to treat a woman my foot? Why should he give her preferential treatment? Idiotic and desperate as this trekking idea may be, it is a direct consequence of poverty and joblessness. It's a personal mission to garner attention and feed oneself, so why the fuc*k should he put a woman ahead of himself?

You're the type who dies for a woman.

This fat boy seems far worse than his father. Despite western education and exposure, he's shown zero sense in diplomacy or leadership.

He executes anyone he perceives a threat, including relatives, elderly and experienced figures who are there to advice him. He thinks fear can earn him unquestioned authority... Lol how naive of him.

He's only fast tracking his downfall with these purges and executions.

Are Nigerians so inferior to the point where they readily adopt any alien culture they see? Even in the west, most women regardless of wealth or family status, drop their maiden name when they get married.

Except your surname is Clinton, Kennedy, Dangote, Gates, or Buffet.. You have no excuse retaining your maiden name.

This isn't about pride or power, it's about, uniformity, family one-ness and being on the same page.

Personally, I don't really care if a woman choses to retain her maiden name, as a matter of fact, it makes it easier for us to live parallel lives, which I will appreciate a lot being a guy who enjoys keeping secrets.

As long as my kids bear my name, I'm ok.

Sorry but this guy is not Nigerian, stop the delusion. I find it amusing that this guy is being touted as the British Obama.... I'm afraid he's not.

There may be certain similarities to Obama (especially in the area parentage and upbringing) but personality and character-wise, he's worlds apart from Obama.

This guy is too posh, and also identifies majorly with his white side.

TheEqualizer:

Bingo!!! Just as I predicted yesterday.

The only thing black about this guy is the Nigerian DNA his father passed on to him, nothing more!

First!! Lets get one thing clear, the only thing Nigerian about this guy is the DNA he got from his father. As a matter of fact, he blames Nigeria for the death of his father.

Tony Blair has a radical way of thinking, & that's what most people love about him however, this right here is nothing more than wishful thinking.

The UK isn't like the US, this is a country that has been in existence for centuries (way longer than the US) and has never had a black person occupy any position of political significance. The UK has a very solid, long-standing aristocratic system which guarantees power remains within the so called "blue-bloods" and the privileged few (which are typically upperclass whites). This system is almost impregnable for a black man, you won't even be allowed to get close to a position where you might begin to pose a significant threat.

Unlike the US which is more open and radical in various regards, the UK operates a very conservative society where political correctness, hypocrisy and window dressing matters a lot more than the real issues. Taking into account the UK is almost 90% white, most of which are inherently racist (though they conceal it nicely) the odds are really stacked up against ethnic minoritities.

Personality-wise, Chuka Umunna is nothing like Obama, he's bland and uncharismatic. He's not the uniting force that Obama was, this guy barely relates with black folks (except maybe in his constituency) I'm not sure he's married, but if he is, then go check I'm sure his wife is white.... he's the type of nigga they call so uptight and almost white.

Despite being a shadow-business secretary, he's almost invincible in the Labour Party structure, this is not a good sign.

If there's ever going to be a black PM, it has to be someone charismatic with a bit of contemporary swag along with the zest and gravitas to unite people beyond racial and cultural boundaries, something close to a black Boris Johnson.

When that person comes along (if that person is ever allowed to see the light of day) wake me up then.

That you lack the ability to comprehend arguments is an understatement. Tell me, How can you determine who is properly dressed? What parameters do you use?

PS: And I hope you've not been abusing some mind-altering substance, where in my post did I talk about urinating? Are you responding to my post or some other member's?

Gosh you're so daft, i sarcastically mentioned urinating in public, hoping you'd realise the folly in your statement.

As for the parameters, lol I seems like you're the one with comprehension problems because I gave you a few in my second paragraph. Go back and read it.

mbatuku2:
Is what constituting indecent dressing clearly identified under the laws of the Federal Republic?

How can Buhari determine who is indecently dressed? This man is really showing that he lacks the necessary education and insight of any living in the 21st century.

Sometimes, I wonder if he thinks he will be running an islamic caliphate or something.

Shut up!! Where is urinating in public clearly identified by the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria? Some of you sound so inane at times.

Buhari is well within his right to impose a dress code on journalists covering the number one office in the country. Aso Rock is the seat of power not a broth*el, it's authority & significance must be respected at all times, and that includes maintaining decency within its premises... That's how it should be, that's how it is in civilised environments.

From your comments, you're obviously less exposed so allow me to enlighten you a bit. Suits are typically the dress code in official settings such as this, ladies skirts shouldn't be above knee level, no exposure of cleavages,..... These are just a few benchmarks I can think off.

In civilised countries, journalists covering government residence are usually well and decently dressed, as a matter of fact, failure to wear the appropriate dress could see a journalist barred from entry into the premises or pass revoked.

Damn!! Look at these cuties, so yummy! If they were my daughters, I'd give them the whole world.

I've always preferred baby boys, but I think my preference has just changed

All the kids in the list are very cute.

These ones look like thugs, look at their eyes. I'm not going anywhere near.

The man must be suffering from some kind of mental illness. How could any man in his right mind marry a woman like this?

edpunter:



I will still repeat it that Mayweather clearly won that fight right from the start. Well was Floyd the aggressor? No... But he is a very smart boxer and he out-boxed Pacman. A lot of people get confused when they see someone throwing several punches like a woman fighting a man and not landing them, that's what Pacman did. Just look at the numbers bro, Mayweather landed about 80% more punches than Pacman . I've been watching Mayweather for some time now and whatever you think of the man, he has a great defensive boxing skills just like Chelsea they might disappoints the viewers but they win at the end of the day. Honestly, there's nothing here to see - the judges got it right. Hopefully, there will be a rematch but I guess not cos that money is too much for a young illiterate dude to handle but if he hears $500million take home he's ready to accept a fake KO to satisfy the world . Money makes the world go round.

Nah!! Pacquiao won a couple of rounds too, 4,6, 9, 12 if I remember correctly.

That's why I said they must have been phantom punches because it had no impact on Pacquiao's face. Besides, he didn't land up to 80% (he's not a machine), it was around 29%.

Yeah Chelsea is a very good example here, they play so defensive, killing the beauty of the sport entirely. It's legal, it gives them the win but it doesn't do justice to the sport. You can see how many teams complain about Chelsea.

edpunter:


I don't know anything about boxing oo, I didn't even watch cos I got black and white TV with no HDMI cable and more or so fuel scarcity but was able to read scorecards . I've already seen you like vulgar languages and love insulting peoples parents, thats really bad, I'm not in for that oo cos you are already peddling me. All I can tell you is Floyd won simple. You don't expect everything in life to go your way bro, ko possible. If you lose you lose admit it and forge ahead. Remember June 97' when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear, do you know how many people got feud cos of Tyson's act? Boxing is just a game in the next few years this will be forgotten. I really enjoyed the match tho and I bet Floyd wins 1st, 2nd and 3rd round and it worked out for me do you know how many odds is that uh? I later checked compubox and saw Floyd dominated in all categories.

Well, agreed the fight is boring to Pacmans fans but do you think if he won will it look boring? Funny world.

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying and I don't think you will.

Yeah mayweather won the fight but it wasn't a sensational performance befitting of all the hype. That fight was actually termed "The fight of the century" looool what a joke.

Mayweather won the fight because the judges said he did (Pacquiao was never going to win a decision over mayweather in Vegas anyway) but a lot of boxing heads disagree, even Mayweather's father said it wasn't an impressive fight. All those punches mayweather landed must have been phantom punches because Pacquiao was never in trouble at any point in the fight and came out of the fight looking pretty-faced. So much for the fight of the century.

Pacquiao on the other hand was the agggressir throughout the fight and even landed more solid shots. Tyson-Holyfield was an epic fight, it was war, Holyfield was actually punishing tyson before the bitting incident. So not a good comparison here.

Well I'm done talking this fight, it's past tense now, lets look forward to the future. If Mayweather really wants to silence the critics, then Pacquiao deserves a rematch but if he's happy with that performance, then he can retire in peace.

Any professional sportsperson in the top flight earns more than average persons . This is equally true of actors, musicians, doctors and even prostitutes.
Getting money's worth is a subjective thing people are dissatisfied with air flights,tuition,restaurant meals, and all kinds of goods and services many others are also satisfied. No fight is deserving of hype and money execpt the market chooses to make it so. If you are so aggrieved why don't you write them a polite letter to ask for a refund. I don't know who you are and it is not my practice to exchange words like "lame" or gratuitous aggression with strangers. That is my default position generally. I thought it was a masterclass in the fine arts of boxing and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!


There can be no doubt that your father did not get his money's worth if he spent money schooling you. Clearly you have no manners and no self respect and that is why you think it is perfectly okay to open your dirty mouth and address me anyhow. I do not think your father's head is in the right place because if it was you would check very well before you start howling. Guy next time look very well if that is how you address others on NL in your life do not ever try that with me. Bastardd

Shut up retar*d!! You didn't watch the fight, yet a boxing novice like you, thinks it's ok defend a mediocre performance just because you hear Mayweather fans doing the same? Do not be fooled, they know that performance was poor.

I'm not aggrieved, I'm disappointed because I believe to whom much is given, much is expected but of course I don't expect you to understand any of that, it's apparent you've never excelled at anything in life.

Your dad obviously had very low expectations of you, you're also a boy of low expectations but trying to knock someone else for having higher expectations is very lame and moronic of you.

You're simpleton, and I'm going to talk to you how I please so do yourself a favour and shut the fuc*k up!

omonnakoda:


Not all fighters are paid that much.Indeed the vast majority are not and many end up as bodyguards or bouncers. They do not take more risks than soldiers or policemen.Those that are are paid highly arebecause they have managed to con the mugs that pay by delaying obvious fights and making the public gag and beg for it. Just like the so called high class hooker who convinces her tricks that a night with her is worth $20000 or more. Yes that is how many of those pornstars actually make their money!

With Mayweather we cannot say the public do not know what they are paying for if after 47 fights if they don't then they must be really dumb. He gets paid more and more each time so the public must be on some masochistic trip because they keep coming back for more and paying more each time. People paid a lot of money to see goals in World Cup finals 1994, 2006,2010,2014 all went to extra time.
The fight may not have lived up to the expectations of some but those were mostly those who did not know what they were paying for those who knew got exactly what he always does as far as Mayweather is concerned,the "disappointment" if we can call it that was Manny failing to knock him out. Was Mayweather supposed to let that happen just to please everyone?

Any boxer in the top flight earns more than an average person earns in a year.

This fight generated so much money as a result of how long it took to make it happen. This is not like any other mayweather fight, this was his career defining fight against his arch nemesis who'd haunted him for years.

One wouldn't be blamed for expecting an exciting fight given the Mayweather doubters, the animosity & bad blood between the two fighters (which should be enough to make a good fight). Mayweather had the chance to cement his authority as the pound for pound king by winning emphatically but all he did was run around the ring all night and then walked home with a 9 figure check. That's a typical example of an undeserved pay.

I don't think you know what it means to not get your money's worth, I can bet my last penny that you didn't watch the fight & neither did you care about the fight to begin with.

Unfortunately for boxing fans like myself, who've waited 5 solid years for this fight, this was an abysmal showing. I'm not an old man but I'm old enough to have seen some super-fights in my time and I can say for sure that this fight was undeserving of the hype and money involved.

This is not about support for any fighter, I don't care who won or lost, it just wasn't an exciting fight.. period!!

What we saw Sunday morning wasn't a Pacquiao loss but a boxing loss.

Oh! Oh! And by the way, that your football analogy? It's lame. I can't even begin to tell you how lame it is.

edpunter:



Then stop watching. these guys got 20+ KO before emerging champion. They ain't fighting to make you smile but fighting to entertain you and make their dough.

And how was Saturday's fight entertaining? Did you actually watch the fight? Are you even a boxing fan, and what do you know about boxing?

[size=15pt]9 Reasons Why Floyd Mayweather easily defeated Manny Pacquiao[/size]

Include number 10

Running & hugging

edpunter:



This is computer/internet era bro. Nowadays, we calculate, computerize, and strategize before taking actions. In those days they fight for peanuts cos they got no other source of income likewise soccer, then they hardly buy a car talkless of getting a good home of their own so winning is paramount and the leeway to be successful. Ask yourself this simple truth, will you be quarter wealthy like Pacman not even Floyd and put your face to be condemned? Answer is NO, or Messi and C.Ronaldo and put your leg in tackle to condemn your future cos you wanna be a Hero. These fighters and players ain't fools, WIN, DRAW or LOSE they still make a whooping amount of $$$$$Millon$$$$$? Lets be realistic, gone are the days you use because of roasted snake fish to burn your hands.... There's an adage in Urhobo that says, 'A giant has to be brilliant so he can live long'. They're both successful and brilliant.

Boxing involves trading punches, fighter are paid shi*t load of money to beat each other up not run scared and win on points.

Strategy is key in boxing but the ultimate aim of every strategy should be to inflict punishment on the other fighter & then knock him out.

Gone are the days when fighters entered into the ring with intentions to knock the other fighter out and prove he's the better man. Now fighters step into the ring with intentions of pillow fighting for 12 rounds and then get paid more than an average person earns in a lifetime.

Fighter are paid that much because of the risk they take, you can't have it both ways. So if all you wanna do is strategise all day without actually fighting, then boxing is not the sport for you.

SirShymexx:


Well, like Ali, Mayweather defeated everyone put in front of him, including future hall of famers - and made them look average. Despite not recording any loss.

Joe Calzaghe fought bums and washed up Roy Jones and Benard Hopkins . I'd even wager that Hopkins beat him, but he got the decision. He's no different from Rocky Marciano who fought bums and pensioners. Heck, he fought some of the bums an incredible six times. Can't compare him to Mayweather at all.

The Klitschko brothers are bums.

Looooool so Chris Eubank was a bum? Mikel Kessler was a bum? I give up!!

Going by your logic, Calzaghe also fought everyone put in front of him.

Mayweather fought a lot of bums, including a washed up De la Hoya.

Mayweather is not the greatest pound for pound fighter, at least not in my eye. Pacquiao's short reign of terror will remain longer in people's memory.

tellwisdom:
As a longlife boxing fan... Worst fight I've seen.... Horrible.
This was supposed to save boxing? All it did was make a spectacle of it with the insane prices and celebrities and ended up turning away prospective new boxing fans. Boxing is FIGHTING.

Not outpointing and running. That's what Olympics and being an Amateur are all about. Both men left without a mark on their faces. All paq did was smile like a politician and May ran away.

Both should retire, that "fight" was a disgrace.

I tell ya!! I've never been this disappointed about a fight before. I knew heavyweight boxing was dull and boring but I though the lower weight classes still had a bit of excitement.

I'm really pissed off with this fight, it was too much of a hype. No wonder boxing is on the decline, real fans know the the sport is dead.

With the level anticipation and money attached to this fight, both fighters were supposed to put up a show no one would forget in a hurry. All the hallmarks if a great fight were missing; no knockdown, no moments which got people on the edge of their seats, no blood, no cuts, no swelling.. Nothing!! The cuts man on both side was on vacation, even that metal stuff used to massage swellings was never used. Both fighters came out looking pretty faced and they're going to have the guts to accept 9 figure cheques, especially floyd who takes home close to $200 mil for 36 mins of running around (more than most people will ever make in their lifetime)

This is the biggest fraud in boxing history.

SirShymexx:


Lol. Yes, on back foot while throwing and landing those crisp left hooks and straight right on Pacman's face. The Midget was more confused than a muthaphucka. So scared he couldn't even throw any flurry of those awkward punches. Shiit got real and hot in there lol. Never bet against the champ, man.

Mayweather will negate Tyson's style with his supreme awareness and ring intelligence. He's the best we have ever seen when it comes to imposing his will on boxers. Just take a look at how he made Manny and all the other 47 other fighters before him look stupid? That's greatness right there.

Just as I learned everything I know about sports from my pops - my kids will be privileged to understand the greatness and ring genius of Mayweather from their pops. Intelligence is always superior to being crude with brute force.

W Klitschko is a bum in a dead heavyweight era. He doesn't have the awareness, ring intelligence, footwork, supreme defensive mechanics, and counter-punching ability of Mayweather. A washed up Lennox Lewis destroyed his brother - any decent heavyweight fighter from the 90s and early noughties will knock his ar.se out in 5 rounds lol.

Ali's self proclaimed himself the greatest, and he very well lived up to it. He was a champion during something that was arguably the toughest era in boxing history, having to fight his way past some of toughest motherfuc*kers in the business. He defied so many odds to become champion three times. What has mayweather done?

Unbeaten record doesn't make a fighter great, Joe Calzaghe retired with an unbeaten record (with a higher number of KOs than Floyd) does that make him the greatest?

I disagree on Wladimir Klitschko, as boring as I find him, I've got to admit he's a professor of jabs. I don't know how you'd say he's a bum when he hasn't lost a fight (nor came close to losing a fight since 2005). Every opponent he's faced has been forced to eat those robotic jabs of his for 12 rounds (including Nigeria's Samuel peters). The guy is even more efficient that floyd.

Vitali on the other hand, is a tougher fighter with a granite chin, he's never been down in his career. How could you say Lewis destroyed him when he was leading on all scorecards? He was a ministering punishment to lewis, barring a cut to the eye, he could have defeated Lewis. Lewis knew what could have happened that's why instead of granting him a rematch, he quickly retired and relinquished the belt.

SirShymexx:


Mayweather was out there to fight, but Pacman didn't just return the favour. I think the two straight right Money landed in the first round set the tone for the fight. Manny felt the power and decided it was unwise to keep coming forward, else his ar.se would have been knocked out cold. Then the jabs were also supremely effective.

Mayweather fought his style and imposed himself on Manny. Whereas Manny was clueless all through the bout. Blame Manny not Mayweather.

Nah, you're going to tell ya children (like I will also tell mine) that you witnessed a clinic by a boxing scientist who showed what the sweet science is about - like my pops used to tell me about Joe Louis, Sonny Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Duran, Larry Holmes, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hearns, Hagler et al.. I miss watching boxing with my pops, man.

Never put Klitscho in the same sentence as Money - a bum in a dead heavyweight division era.

What!! Mayweather was on the back foot all day long with Pacquiao chasing him around the ring like a little kid. Mayweather landed decent shots and so did Pacquiao... It's just that his volume of punches didn't match that of Mayweather.

Of course I blame Pacquiao because he lost the fight. Mayweather played his part perfectly and won. Pacquiao actually showed some good defences yesterday despite the reach disadvantage but I blame him for not being much more aggressive. He shouldn't have allowed floyd maintain his distance from him, this is why he lost. He should have found a way to get inside and stay there.

Floyd thinks every move through before executing. Don't give him time to think, stay on him like a fly, forget landing on his head, he protects it so much, throw body shots to soften him up and when he starts dropping is arms, bang!! To his head.

Tyson's style is the answer to floyd. watch Tyson V Tyrell Biggs, you'd see how effective it is.

There's Internet everywhere now, your kids will watch footages from various eras and tell you this fight was shi*t.

I honestly don't see any difference between Floyd and W Klitschko.. If you can see any difference, I'm listening.

SirShymexx:


You missed Sugar Ray Leonard vs Thomas Hearns. And I'd put Hearns vs Hagler on that list as well. Ditto Roberto Duran vs all the three. That was a great era for boxing. Hagler, Hearns, Duran, and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Ever heard of Pernell Whitaker and James Toney? Styles will always be different, brev.

Lol @ Audley Harrison the greatest bum ever. Pacman fought like Harrison yesterday tho.

You see!! Be honest, will you place this fight in the same league as those fights? Do you think anyone will remember this fight 10 years from now?

I don't get it when Floyd compares himself to Ali, that had to be the greatest blasphemy of the 21st century.

Ali was a well rounded fighter, he excellent defences, he was fast, he knew when to go on the offensive, he had impeccable footwork ( if not the best) his shuffle is still imitated by fighters today... Ali was an entertainer, he even taunted folks in the ring. Oh!! and ali also had a decent punch that was known to open cuts on his opponent's face. Britain's own Henry cooper had a taste of this

Floyd on the other hand, has no punching power, cannon throw more that two punches at a time, has this annoying thing he does with his shoulder like a guy trying to avoid getting hit by his girlfriend.

It's funny how this crazy style works. Fighters just can't comprehend it's awkwardness so they end up losing.

Boxing is dead!!

SirShymexx:


Brev, you know what you paid for like everyone else - Mayweather doesn't do brawling.

Funny how all haters complain after every Mayweather fight, yet they still troop out to pay to watch all his fights, with the hope that someone will beat him. Bwahahahahahaha

And Mayweather sells the most PPVs in boxing and all the best selling fights in the history of boxing are all Mayweather's fights. Yet they complain every time.

If anything, respect his marketing genius! Freaking astute businessman who turns hate to money and haters to cash cows.

Lol yeah but I thought mayweather would be forced to come out and fight.

So I'm i going to tell my grand-children that the fight of this century had no knock down? And after the fight, both fighter came out looking pretty as ever? C'mon

I don't take anything from floyd, he's performance was masterclass however it is not entertaining, and doesn't do justice to the sport.

It is very effective but also boring. Just like Wladimir Klitscho

Guys! Guys!! I know boxing is about intelligence but lets not forget it's also a brute sport. If you want to see just intelligence at work, then go watch the chess masters. I wanna see blood, sweat, and cut.

Have you ever wondered why boxing isn't really popular again?

Watch this fight below and tell me, you wouldn't pass pick this over se*x


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VI-M9Yw-28

Please compare this to last night'a fight, and tell me which would you have loved to pay to see. If you answer is yesterday's fight then I guess we have different ideas of what boxing is.

SirShymexx:


That is how boxing has always been.

Erm, do you think Ali was a genius for his rope-a-dope tactic against George Foreman?

No that's not how boxing has been. Never in the history of boxing has there been an era where fighters played it too safe.

As much as boxing is about intelligence, trading punches was still a fundamental part of the sport.

Every great fight I can think of had epic moments

Ali - Frazier 1,2,3

Ali - foreman

Hagler - hearns

Schmelling - Louis

Tyson - Holyfield

Tyson - Lewis

Frazier - Foreman

I can go on and on. Last night's fight wasn't great trust me, it reminds me of David Haye V Audley Harrison

I can't believe I stayed up to watch this child-fight, I'm going to be asking Sky Sports for a refund on the ticket I paid because this fight definitely didn't live up to its hype.

How can two fighters go into a much hyped fight like this and come out looking pretty, no blood, no cuts.

We were subjected to a painful 12 rounds of mayweather playing hide and seek.. What the fuc*k was that? That's not boxing I swear!

I would have expected Pacquiao to be a lot more aggressive, instead he was also being over-cautious. With an excellent counter puncher as floyd, you've got to be ready to take a few punches just to get inside.

While mayweather was backing up all day, I expected Pacquiao to be quicker on his feet, all he had to do was keep running up on him to shorten that reach and nullify his jab and then when he gets inside, he unleashed his punch combination with an unexpected uppercut (the most underrated punch in boxing)

You cannot defeat mayweather without getting hit but since mayweather has no power, you need not worry about a KO. Adopt a peek-a-boo style and then run it. It's that simple!!

This fight was the most expensive hype in boxing history and doesn't deserve a to be mentioned in the same league as other historic fights. Those who paid 6 figures to see this fight would be wishing they never had.

SirShymexx:


Don't mind them. It's called the sweet science for a reason - the ability to hit and impose yourself on an opponent, while being able to tactically avoid not being hit.

Muhammed Ali, the greatest, was hailed for the genius of rope-a-dope against George Foreman in Zaire (rumble in the jungle). Else George Foreman and that phantom right hand would have killed him in the ring. But hey, Mayweather isn't allowed to do what he does best and what the sport is about cos of haters.

But Ali was never one to shy away from punches all day as a matter of fact he allowed opponents to punch him at times just to prove they had no power.

As for that Zaire fight, he got hit a lot, infact he allowed Foreman punch himself out and then finished with with a devastating combo.

That's the kind of fight I love.

ttmacoy:
First rule of boxing is hit and avoid being hit.

You need to appreciate his skills and techniques.

Man fuc*k that rule! I wanna see guys trade punches not duck and throw few punches.

I'm not against having good defences but it should be balanced with a decent offensive as well. People pay to watch one guy knock out the other guy or at least try to, not play it safe all day long.
