    How would a ten commandments of boxing read? What are the ten hardest technical rules for success in boxing? Raise one or ten or any number in between, but no more.

    If you're feeling extra brave:

    Give an example of a fighter who made a success of boxing inspite of consistantly breaking this rule, and another fighter who holds your commandment as true in the proof of his sticking to it firmly.

    1. Learn how to throw every 1 of the punches correctly, compactly and straight, learn how to powerpunch. Most champions havent mastered this

    Keep your chin tucked in.
    Don't back away in a straight line.
    Keep your right hand up.
    Don't cross your feet.

    All technical rules, backing up in straight lines is the most forgivable though and practised by most champions in history

    1. Kill the body and the head will follow - Body punching
    2. Step into your jab
    3. Throw straight punches, do not loop your punches

    Don't be stationary when in-fighting. Constantly shift position while staying close in order to get new angles for your blows.

    Duran and Frazier were good at this.


    Move your upper-body, use shoulder rolls as well as blocking with glows and forearms.

    Moore, Whitaker, Toney and Hopkins were proponents of this style. DLH and Foreman less so (Foreman much, much less so:smoke.)


    Don't throw uppercuts on the outside.

    Good pupil: Louis
    Bad pupil: Ali
