Does Braddock demonstrate impressive boxing skills in this highlight video?

Decent skills. Not great for sure.

 

Not another one

 

He looks more skilled than Dillian Whyte but less skilled than, say, Tony Tucker or Carl Williams

 

It's all relative, he obviously is no Willie Pep, but he's not without ability. I'll go with yes overall, he had flaws but he made it all work pretty well.

 

He looks pretty unremarkable and awkward.
Yet he gave Louis and Baer loads of trouble.
Strange indeed.

 

He doesn't swing like a drunk man at the pub, he has decent handspeed. Not great? Well, he doesnt move well, he's not very crisp, nor is very fast. He can be read by his opponent.

 

At 2:47 he throws a nice uppercut and follows with a right to the head. Nothing that has been "lost" or unusual, but his technique on the uppercut is good. IMO, that's the best thing he does on the video.

 

Well, yeah. Unless you have a yardstick to compare it to, it's all pretty meaningless.

 

I'd rank his skills 3 or 4 out of 10, below average. Max Baer would be 2 or 3 out of 10, for that matter.

 

He's got a pretty strong jab, excellent composure, decent use of angles (nothing spectacular but better than a lot of fighters).

With a ton of heart and toughness hee had enough to achieve more than 99.5% of people that have entered the ring
