Except 160 is now not 160. He's fought several guys who were middleweights in the ring.
Head movement leaves your hands free, simple as that. Taken to it's paradigmatic extreme, blocking without head movements leaves you with guys...
MMA provides a few useful exaggerated analogies to understanding boxing strategy, IMO. In this case you might imagine the most skillful boxer in...
Yup, that's the issue.
I commented that I agreed with one of your messages between the lines - that Vitali Klitschko's boxing technique is actually good, despite looking...
6 developments in boxing strategy I see 1) Increased use of distance & movement 2) much more clinching and stink 3) more pity pat & shoe shine...
I just deleted that post, sorry :lol: I'm gonna come back to this thread when I have more organised thoughts on it. UGTK's post was a bit multi...
Marquez is 37 and two weights past his best. And FWIW I replaced Vitali with Lucian Bute. Marquez would still certainly be number 7, at least.

Is Pac-Shane gonna be on network TV?
Yeah, Mayweather's jab to the body is one of the best punches in the whole sport. Never really seen anything like it.
Unorthodox choices are just what we're looking for here.:kidcool:
I'm gonna be controversial and amend my list (remember based merely on opinion & my eyes) 1) Pac 2) Donaire 3) Martinez 4) Bute. 5) Pirog Pirog...
If Amir Khan is one of the best 5 fighters on earth boxing is dead in the water.
Leaving aside accomplishments & going just with your eyes and your opinions who do you think are the 5 best fighters in the sport today? For me...
Donaire Martinez Bute I think they're the most impressive exponents of counter punching around at the moment. To me Marquez is just a really,...
I'd honestly like to see TLC banned from the boxing forums. Let him post in MMA & TAAA on subjects he has a remotest interest in. Worst troll in...
I'd like a serious answer to this mate, lets not take it down a silly path.:Thumbs:
Excluding Gavilan, all of Ray's most significant opponents were white. Is this a coincidence or were there good black guys around during this...
I'll kick off Tommy Hearns *spit* Amir Khan Ike Quartey Winky Wright
Best jab ever lists are always dominated by heavyweights. Lets exclude them. Ok.......go.:crafty:
Yo, my friend introduced me to a beer I really like this week. Genuinely never thought it would happen. [img] Viva Mexico! That's a quality drop.
What about in March 12 2013 when Martinez retires and we look around for significant, marketable young talents around those weights to talk about?...
Which would be a significant blow for boxing because a potential young star wouldn't turn out to be one & boxing NEEDS young stars right now. What...
Agreed. Which is why this fight is significant! That's kinda the entire point.:goingmad::lol:
:bears:
Hes potentially way more marketable & way better than either of them. Hes a potential star & boxing desperately needs young stars
In fairness he only predicted on the first fight. I'll cull all the quitters from the table after the next fight if they don't get back on the horse.
It isn't for Alvarez but the outcome might be more significant for BOXING.
Khan-McCloskey interests me more and more as I see more of Paul. He's a far more technically versed fighter than Khan. I don't know that that's...
