Like somebody said on youtube: fuck man no wonder Floyd dad taught him? the shoulder roll defence
Spot on, must be great to be Floyd the way he takes close to no damage and makes mad cash.
absolutely, hit and not be hit...people can bash defensive minded fighters like Hopkins, Floyd etc...but at the end of the day, the fans aren't paying their long term health bills.
Not everybody understands the risks. when you walk into a gym, your not told that one day you might forget your own name and not be able to speak properly after fighting.
UK Asylum - Not everybody understands the risks. when you walk into a gym, your not told that one day you might forget your own name and not be able to speak properly after fighting.Yea but if you're that dumb to start with it probably won't be a huge change

There is a documentary called "After The Last Round" that shows the dark side of boxing and what happened to fighters like the Moyer brothers. Guys like George Chuvalo took brutal beatings and seem to be all there while other fighters end up punchy. I know sparring has a lot to do with it, but there has to be something to do with genetics.
