What current fighters aim to win by neutralizing their opponent with common stink, foregoing courage and skill in favor of controlling the action and their opponent with holding? ? Has the market naturally stricken from our TV screens these sickening perversions of the sport?
Valuev's style is pretty stinky, it was just a case of "I am bigger than you....will lean on you...will grab you...will swipe at you with my massive paws and you will go down, eventually..." Floyds is stinky in that, like a rare form of Kung Fu, it effortlessly blends shit referees with constant cheating and some safety first action. I mean, I know porn sets that feature more risk than a Floyd Mayweather performance. Wladimir, can be stinky, but can also open up to really devestating effect. Oh wait....this was a cryptic Floyd-Bash? Sorry..........
Not at all. PBF may use illegal tactics, but I've never considered him stinky. He's not one to hold, although it could be argued that he's adopted an alternative method of, "not fighting," which is the manner he turns his back to his opponent. Either way, he wasn't on my mind at all when I made the thread. Rather, I was reacting to the seemingly few, "hold-fests," I've seen recently. Fortunately, in the U.S. we haven't been subjected to many Valuev fights, and Wlad, who I consider a stinker, hasn't fought in a while.
He doesn't have to if he doesn't want to, ever hear of a little scoring criteria called 'ring generalship' ?... that's where you run around the fringe of the perimetre with an old school pose, and I've changed my mind, that's enough for me, he's a 45 year old man, what do you expect him to do, fight? .. he may have rigged wraps and is pumped full of sustainers, but it's a bit too much to ask, he's been a hall of fame lock ever since he became a strict counterpuncher and defends himself with his back.
No...he just retried, again and again and again and will be facing the mighty David Nuremberg Haye next month.
I think he will make Stink. By the evenings end David and Jawny will be the proud fathers of a baby stink.
