British Boxers- Feather fisted?

[ykdadamaja]

Hi all,

Why are British Boxers so feather fisted? Everyone except for David Haye and "perhaps" David Price, seems to be so feather fisted. Always a friggin decision... whats up with that? Not even stops on cuts!

I'm watching the Monaco Tournament on one channel and watching British Boxing on Sky Sports on the other... and I have already seen three fights on the Monaco Tournament that were all scheduled for 10 rounds or more, and the first fight on Sky Sports between two Brits ain't even finished yet... wth??

Better matchmaking. And the last knockout you saw was trained by feather fisted Ricky Hatton.

It is a cyclical thing. the German's had it with Ottke, Maske and co

Whats the point to the opening post and this ^^? Do you have some kind of pugilist hypothesis you would like to share? The British domestic scene makes any other domestic scene look pathetic. @Greenbeanz had it bang on. And fundamentally wtf is wrong with a fight going the distance? If you want instant gratification every time out then go to a drive through and grab a happy meal.

Here I'll give you the fix you desire.

Dude... Uzi was on Ramadan, just like Amir Khan when he fought Danny Garcia!

Not sure what it is. Carl Froch is particularly feather fisted. That guy couldn't hurt a fly. Tony Bellew who is fighting tonight as well is feather fisted. They call him bomber because he farts alot, but in general he's a fucking pansy.

Floyd, Ward. Bradley Americas version of Roberto Duran!

Bellew is not feather fisted. But he sure is overrated

[Beanz]

Bellew is mostly overrated by himself.

I don't believe this is really all that true.

Although I do agree that different places breed different types of boxers.

Philly breed toughness as does South American countries, but I may be being stereotypical.

We seem to breed slick boxers, Nas, Calzaghe, Haye, Groves, Eubank, etc.

I'd much rather watch some of our "feather fisted" slick fighters than someone like Wilder.

I won't argue with you on British slickness, you do have a point. And, that slickness does cost the fight to go an extra round or two when faced with a devestating puncher. In fact, taking Floyd seriously out of the discussion, British boxers out-slick every other nationality fighter that I have seen. So, I will leave that there.

But, the same thing goes with French and Italian fighters, feather fisted. Canadian boxers have low output ratings. And Latin American fighters- except for Columbians- bleed profusefly and cut easily which causes most of their fights to end on cuts.

Today's African American fighter has no heart. They can take a punch every now and then, but to ask them to go 12 grueling rounds with someone that hits back is REALLY asking too much of them. But African fighters have all heart but little to no slickness and not the devestating punching ability that you THINK that they would have- black Africans and not Afrikans, which is a totally different breed of fighter and people.

Every area/continent has their own thing with their fighters.

The art of boxing is to hit and NOT be hit,! is it not I can't get your point not many are blessed
with power, chin and great boxing skills, very few and that what makes them great fighters.!
No country has the monopoly on power punches, it is what it is you have power of punch
or you don't.!

Groves is a decent puncher, and I certainly wouldn't call him slick. Hayes a decent enough puncher too

He wasn't but recently he's taken to the slick movements. Seems like a mini Haye
