This one is a true classic . I always come back to it. And I share it with every boxing fan I meet and even the new school MMA fans . 🤷♀️ Gotta educate folks
I'm a hug boxing fan for 25 years and I don't hear anything Rugged Man got wrong in this song. He's straight on the money with this one. Very factual and all his opinions wether you agree with them or not are arguable and valid. Amazing verse.
POlska wita ! :) Nice to see Andrew Golota he was the best 90's white boxer in the Heavyweight and two times referee stole his win!!! Greetings from POLAND!!
R.A. The Rugged Man - Boxing Freestyle To Rate {Verse 1} I'm Sugar Ray Robinson, Pound For Pound the best And you overprotected, never been in no real test Mike Tyson eat your kids for lunch I'm like Willie Pep, I can win a round without throwing a punch Lennox Lewis had a glass jaw If my grandmother hit him on the chin, he'd probably hit the floor Roberto Duran, all time greatest lightweight Prince Naseem was wack, all the hype was fake Leon Spinks was the ultimate slacker Sugar Ray Leonard was great but he should've lost to Hagler The seventies had the best heavyweights From Ali, Frazier, to George Foreman, there were so many Greats Bob Foster hit way too hard He would've put Antonio Tarver and Roy Jones in the graveyard Some of y'all might disagree But Larry Holmes might have been the best, even better than Ali Greatest Puerto Rican fighter, Carlos Ortiz Runner up, Wilfredo Gomez in the early eighties Worst Puerto Rican fighter is John Ruiz Winky Wright beat Shane Mosley two times with ease Pernell Whitaker was robbed so many different occasions Mike McCallum represented hard for the Jamaicans Kostya Tszyu made Zab do the funky chicken Years later, Ricky Hatton had Kostya Tszyu quitting Iran Barkley repped the BX Christy Martin was the first popular fighter of the opposite sex Golota punched Riddick Bowe repeatedly in the dick Then when he fought Mike Tyson, he bitched out and quit James Toney was a skilled technician Jack Johnson beat white boys and fucked their women Floyd Patterson got knocked out by Sonny Liston Paulie Ayala always seemed to get the gift decision Arturo Gatti take the best ass whipping Jim Lampley and the rest of the HBO cheerleaders do the most ass kissing He jerked Bernard Hopkins during his ten year reign They stole his belts from him and gave them to Jermain Vassiliy Jirov nearly murdered Joe Mesi Joe Calzaghe annihilated Jeff Lacy John Mugabi's nickname was the beast Corrales-Castillo, the first fight was a masterpiece Julian Jackson crushed Terry Norris Mayorga knocked out Forrest Hearns-Hagler taught us what a war is Trying to find the next heavyweight great They thought it was Ibeabuchi but he went to jail for rape Bob Arum's a weasel, and Don King is evil Floyd Mayweather is good but he gotta fight better people We watched Oscar De La Hoya get rich He nearly outpointed Felix Trinidad, but then he ran like a bitch Barrera, Morales, Julio Cesar Chavez Mexican fighters was fucking up men heads And we never got to see the best, Salvador Sanchez Ricardo Lopez retired undefeated Larry Holmes beat Michael Spinks, but he got cheated Manny Pacquiao's speed is heated, believe it, you heed it Oliver McCall smoked crack and had a nervous breakdown Riddick Bowe knocked out Holyfield in the eighth round Jake Lamotta had the best chin When Mike Tyson beat Spinks that was his best win They stopped fifteen round fights after Duk Koo Kim The biggest disappointment was probably Gold medalist, Mark Breland Emile Griffith was accused of hanging out with queers Tony Ayala went to jail for sixteen years Michael Grant fought pitifully Vito Antuofermo was a champ from Italy Chris Byrd beat Vitali Fernando Vargas best win was Ike Quartey Who fought the best competition? Juan LaPorte Leavander Johnson killed in the ring, R.I.P Tommy Morrison was diagnosed with H.I.V First round, Earnie Shavers finished Kenny Norton Michael Dokes and Tony Tucker was both coke-snorting
GTFOH! Ra's analysis was on point.everything he said was true.holmes ain't better than ali but other than that he nailed this track!best boxing song EVER!
Compare this to the average rhyme your hear in mainstream music. There is no way to compare the disproportionate amount of skill displayed betweeen the two. R.A. is unbelievable.
In response to the people talking bout freestyling, a freestyle can either be written or done off the top of the head. You look at MC'S now a days not a lot freestyle and when they do it is usually written and back in the golden days e.g. 80's the freestyles would be written but some had the talent to do it off the head.
@1nfern0man That's only a few I named, There's way more I've seen, They're unreleased? How am I meant to see them? I've seen almost all his released songs then
Much love to RA from the bay area but when this gonna drop on disc tho? I been waiting for over a year to hear this in my ride. Shits eating me up man!
@matthewjustincrocker RA is a true boxer on the mic. His punches are dangerous, varied, and highly accurate - all that plus he's fit to make it through the last round.
Mikah 9 from Freestyle Fellowship redefined the meaning of freestyling, now freestyling means spitting lyrics off the head, such as mc juice, brother ali and many many more.
"Lennox Lewis had a glass jaw, If my grandmother hit him on the chin he'd probably hit the floor. Roberto Duran all time greatest lightweight, Prince Naseem was whack, all the hype was fake." Speak the truth RA.
Arturo Gatti did take the best ass whippins that's why i loved the way he fought. he had the biggest heart even getting his ass kicked he would continue to throw. much respect R.I.P Gatti.
@trurealest barrera is a legend he and morales gave us one the best fights in the history of boxing.amir khan is a very good fighter and he is doing better with the help of freddie roach beating maidana was a surprise BUT barrera morales is a classic a seminar for fighters and people who love boxing so respect to barrera!

Everything that r.a. said in this intergalactic awsome track is 100% accurate and raw truth... even about the greatest in Las Vegas cuz he never fights out side of Las Vegas floyd mayweather
Luis Malo i have to say i agree with all but mark breland being a disappointment is a streach he was 35-3... 25 knockouts 2 time world champ and multiple title defenses plus the best ameture boxer of all time.... no disappointment at all
@DaAlphaOmega Raging Bull was about Jake La Motta my friend. It wasn't that Marciano was all that great, he was slow, had no defense, but he is a legend, and was probably one of the toughest ever. Plus early in his career he fought 11 fights in over a 5 month span against alot of nobodies, 3 of those in 3 weeks if that says anything about his competition. He had 49 fights, Archie Moore had 220, 185 wins and multiple retirements as well, doubt Marciano, could equal that.
Chris you've got no video's.,no playlist,no presence,and therefore your opinion doesn't mean fuck all,if you paid any attention to R.A. rapping you'd realise he's a phenomenon,I'm convinced the guy's got a fucking third lung or something the way he can spit those paragraphs...he'd make a great freediver :)
This one is a true classic . I always come back to it. And I share it with every boxing fan I meet and even the new school MMA fans . 🤷♀️ Gotta educate folks
R.A. got bored of writing bars after the 4th line and decided to tell a story. Dope.
He killed this 🔥🔥🔥
R.A, Vinny Paz n Royce Da 5'9 3 rappers that are also experts on Boxing
Add Ransom to that list .
20 dislikes??? "They don't know Shit bout boxing" (---- uncle Roger voice

Runner up, Wilfredo Gomez in the early eighties
Worst Puerto Rican fighter is John Ruiz

Salvador Sanchez was the best Mexican fighter of all time

Agreed! Salvador Sanchez was one of the best fighters we never got to see blossom!
Julio Cesar Chavez.... The best ever.
Love everything about this apart from him calling Naz wack, don’t disrespect the Prince.

Everything that r.a. said in this intergalactic awsome track is 100% accurate and raw truth... even about the greatest in Las Vegas cuz he never fights out side of Las Vegas floyd mayweather
Luis Malo i have to say i agree with all but mark breland being a disappointment is a streach he was 35-3... 25 knockouts 2 time world champ and multiple title defenses plus the best ameture boxer of all time.... no disappointment at all
@DaAlphaOmega Raging Bull was about Jake La Motta my friend. It wasn't that Marciano was all that great, he was slow, had no defense, but he is a legend, and was probably one of the toughest ever. Plus early in his career he fought 11 fights in over a 5 month span against alot of nobodies, 3 of those in 3 weeks if that says anything about his competition. He had 49 fights, Archie Moore had 220, 185 wins and multiple retirements as well, doubt Marciano, could equal that.
great retrospective track! is there a copy of the lyrics somewhere?
awesome some. great details about bits of boxing history. "gayweather has to fight better people" from the song. Lol.
Eubank, Benn & Watson??? some of the best fights
unfortunatly germany hasn`t much important boxers... but i love this track... greetings from germany and thanks for upload!
Klitschko bros would fight outta Germany
Ra the greatest rapper ever? Ur crazy and football and basketball are the best sports
Chris you've got no video's.,no playlist,no presence,and therefore your opinion doesn't mean fuck all,if you paid any attention to R.A. rapping you'd realise he's a phenomenon,I'm convinced the guy's got a fucking third lung or something the way he can spit those paragraphs...he'd make a great freediver :)
Lol that cute
schiz0phren1c also a great muff diver
Baseball is way better than basketball.
