Cedric Green - BOXING 🥊
Muhammad Rasheed - Calisthenics and bodybuilding are not combat systems.
Kyrillos Bon - @Muhammad... running is. Look at Mayweather.
Muhammad Rasheed - @Kyrillos... I'm actually a big fan of the skills that make up the Sweet Science (offense, defense, skill-in-techniques, battle strategy, fitness/stamina, etc.), so I don't consider the high-level ability to strike your opponent without receiving damage in return to be a negative. The pros are supposed to be highly-skilled and well-rounded.
I don't have any respect for two under-skilled palookas who just slug it out without even trying to block or get out of the way (see: Gatti vs Ward). I prefer a chess match as the boxers try to solve one another's puzzle as two elites.
Ignorant fans who don't appreciate true boxing are bad for the sport because, as the people who pay for event tickets and pay-per-views, boxing industry execs will market to them. This in turn causes the coaches not to teach certain fundamentals because the ignorant fans won't appreciate them and will actually boo the fighters if they see high-level skills. Ignorant fans ruin the culture of the sport.
