AFFletic WHITE Guys...

Not as UNCOMMMON as Some May Think, in Boxing...

Willie Pep, Vinny Paz, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, Vasyl Lomachenko, Jason SHITzau...

Others???...





REED:mj:

 

Wladimir Klitschko?

 

Sergio Martinez

 

No Doubt...




REED:mj:

 

Martinez is from Spain, Right???...Is he White???...Looks Like a Lighter Skinned Hispanic Dude, to REED...

Unquestionably a VERY AFFletic Fighter Though, White or Not...





REED:mj:

 

Scotty Cardle

 

Martinez is white.

Hispanic and white are not mutually exclusive terms.

Calzaghe is a good example. Lomachenko. Willie Pep. De la Hoya ( yeah, that's right, motherfucker is white).

 

at jason litzao. forgot all about that dude.

 

From Argentina. Lived in Spain before relocating to Oxnard, California.

 

Glad you mentioned Hatton.

Listening to some people here, you'd think all he did was hump people and rabbit punch. The young Hatton threw 80 punches a round and used a very effective scissor-step to cut the ring off. A 5'6" stubby guy going up to 147 was basically giving his opponents every physical advantage. And as he aged, you've got to figure all those late nights passed out in the boozer really took their toll on him.

 

While REED's Still UNSURE about Sergio Martinez, DeLa is Undoubtedly MEXICAN...

Come On Now....





REED::

 

Litzau's Chin SUCKED, but in Terms of SHEER Prizefighting AFFleticism, He's on the White Guy Mount Rushmore...Wouldn't Surprise REED @ All if Litzau BULLSHITTED his Way Thru Training Camps, OVERLY Relying on his Natural Talents...

GIFTED Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Beyond What he Actually ACCOMPLISHED in Boxing...





REED:mj:

 

REED Ain't Sure How Many Souf' American's Identify Themselves as WHITE, but it Probably AIN'T a Lot of 'Em...

::

So like a boxing version of Sexual White Chocolate Jason Williams?

 

Joey Archer was quick as hell, great boxer... no power though ... Ralph Dupas was also fast as fuck

 

Hatton's AFFleticism was OBVIOUS...GREAT Footwork, Particularly for a PRESSURE Fighter...Respectable Handspeed, on a World Class Level...Overall FLUIDITY and COORDINATION to his Movements...

REED:hammert:

 

Willie Pastrano was fast, too

 

I think Hatton's foot speed was his best asset. Normally shorter fighters are going to have big difficulty against anybody with a good jab. Ricky was able to close the distance remarkably quick to get on the inside. Even Floyd Mayweather had trouble with it in the first half of their fight.

 

I was going to mention Hatton but felt it would degenerate into the usual crap.

He had brilliant, world-class feet.

Hatton is the guy people should bring up when trying to distinguish between "FAST" feet {Khan} and proper footwork......

 

I was really surprised at how quick Ken Buchanon was when I first saw him fight.

 

In Fairness, Sexual White Chocolate Could BALL...& REED Ain't just Saying That Because his Favorite Player Ever, Chris Webber, STILL Speaks GLOWINGLY of His Time w/White Chocolate, Either...In Fact, REED Simply Calls the White Dude "Chocolate", No Bullshit::...

REED Can't Recall Chocolate EVER Being Exposed as an Inferior Player or Anything...J-Will Was just a WILD Horse that COULDN'T Be Tamed...An "Uncoachable" WHITE Player, Which is Admittedly RARE...

J-Will was a FLASHIER Steph Curry (In Terms of Ballhandling and Passing), who DIDN'T Shoot Near as Well...





REED:mj:

 

another good choice... Any guy that can keep up with Ismael Laguna has to be fast

 

Exactly...

One Facet of Footwork is MOVING Well in Circles, Side to Side, etc...Another Facet is CLOSING Distance, as You Stated...Hatton Did Both VERY Well and Considering his Ol' Man was a Professional Soccer Player (if REED's Not Mistaken), that's Not the Least Bit Surprising...

Even the Ability to LEAP IN w/Shots, Which Lead to KO Losses to Floyd and Pac, are Examples of AFFletic FOOTWORK...





REED:mj:

 

Ricky was as well, he was in Manchester City's youth ranks.

 

charlie "white lightening" brown

 

too bad he never fought Charlie "Choo Choo" Brown

 

Not as tragic as Terdsak never facing Titsworth.

 

Terdsak was a warrior!!!

 

The HEIGHT of REED's Boxing Writing Coincided w/Terdsak's Title Shot, on an American Televised PPV that REED Can't Recall...Might Have Been Pac-Marquez II or III, REED Ain't Sure...

Terdsak's Loss AFFECTED REED, Dramatically...There were Soooooo Many CREATIVE Writing Avenues, with a Champion Named "Terdsak"...REED LOST Some of His PASSION for Writing, That Night...

Titsworth was a CLASSIC Name, Toooooo Bad he SUCKED...






REED:mj:

 

TRUTH...

Terdsack TOOK a Lot of Shit, But Kept On Fighting...
