    Curious as to know
    I was watching Joe Frazier and Sonny Liston(He may have not bobbed and weaved but I've seen him slip punches pretty smoothly)
    Would someone prosper with this style in today's boxing world?

    No, because in this era they hit you while you bob and weave. They do not just stand there and take a picture.

    How could bobbing and weaving work against the superior technicians of today with their amazing skills? I really don't know.

    He doesn't really have the body for it, I've seen sam peter do it too.
    Now about Sonny Liston slipping punches would that work?

    :deal Porter was trying it with Brooks too. He was overdoing it too and doing it wrong. You're supposed to make your opponent miss and be defensive about it and timing him, countering as you shorten the distance, instead Porter was bobbing and weaving way too fast and just walking into Brooks shots. Porters guard was way too low too.

    I don't think it's a matter of time era differences. It's all about skill. If you're damn good at bobbing and weaving, then sure, it'll work. Currently, I can't think of anyone who is good at it.
