When people say "modern training" what do they mean?

I don't know. I don't feel owned... unless you work for my mortgage company.

Sultan was a shifty, very quick boxing southpaw.

Hart was a take no prisoners brawler.

Neither dominated the division but caught a quick peak of sunshine before fading back into obscurity.

also take it for what it's worth..

 

I often wonder at the term "modern training". A boxer can be made stronger, with more stamina; but all the king's horses 'n slide rules, can make him punch faster or harder, or, all important, give him a ticker. Either it's in his DNA or it isn't.

A good trainer can teach him defense, tactics 'n combinations (which only make it look like he's punching faster)

Modern training 'n muscles won't determine how he'll fight. Only his temperament, no matter how much his trainer says he's behind 'n has to move his hands.

Prime example: Chad Dawson

 

The sparring session is more accurate than a speed bag....a speed bag can only really ever have a certain specialised technique - obv with minimal variation.

Gene Tunney looks like a brute of course, but skill level? Nah, I see him getting caught against RELATIVELY new timers. You have to understand that I've just watched Holyfield-De Leon 2 days ago, and I just finished watching Harada vs Jofre 1 just 20 minutes ago.
Holyfield > Tunney H2H

 

modern training is what young kids who don't know what they're talking about use to fuel their fantasy that today's pampered 22 yr old 23-0 'world champion' could beat people like henry armstrong, benny leonard, willie pep and joe louis.
