he slipped a punch with his hands behind his back which is essentially like hsi hands down albeit a bit out of position so took a buit more handspeed, its not like he was on the olympic rings


That said Jones was very athletic overall for a boxer, not quite Prince Naseem however Jones was a far bigger man

 

What a classic, like Ali said

"I have a radar inside me that knows how to judge punches"

:good

 

It's called footwork

 

Its upper body movement + footwork.

 

How come some of the most hardest punchers were not athletic?

 

Power is a function of size, speed, an technique

You can have excellent technique and lack any great athleticism, or you could posess a size advantage, or sheer brute force

 

Speed
Movement
Explosiveness

Accuracy is usually also a thing that athletic boxer's have

 

so atsch

 

I guess you can boil it down to an ability to move quickly and fluidly, with the feet, hands, and upper body.

 

its used to describe guys that have never won a title but still get hyped as if they are some kind of factor.

 

That's part of the radar dude

 

the way you transition offense to defense an defense to offense so subtile yet smooth that is athletisism pardon my fu@kn grammer but you no what i mean
