    It's true, a lot of boxers (and other sportsmen in general) look odd with increased weight because it's clear that they make themselves bigger than they are naturally, That's not the case with Louis, he was always well propotioned and never looked out of shape - even when he got older and bigger. The same thing applies to someone like Ali, Max Baer, Holmes. The more extreme version of that is young Foreman, who looked massive even when he was below 220 lbs.

    Foreman and Norton dehydrated themselves and cut weight. That's why they looked so huge. I asked Foreman on Twitter and he confirmed it and mentions it in his biography. When they didn't have fights, they walked around 230+ or more.

    How many times Louis ducked Walcott's counters? How many times he made him miss with his head movement?

    There is no such thing as "modern movement". Modern fighters move in different ways, there is no one pattern that is followed by all fighters.

    Do you see any HW boxer in the last 20 years who you would describe as fighting very similar to Fury or Usyk with similar movement?

    That's an excellent question for @moneytheman12, since I was asking him about his category. As of yet, he hasn't really defined what he means by "modern."
