Lighter weight guys I can think of: Kostya Tszyu - partly due to the Russian boxing stance with the out stretched left jab hand. Often he would take right hands and then shove his opponent out of the way. He was very physically strong. Oscar de la Hoya - vs Chavez he did the two hand long range thing. It wasn’t really a mummy guard but he had that range down at 135-140 and felt comfortably doing this without getting hit. At 147 and above he rarely did it. Mosley also did this during his title run at 147 very lesser competition such as Shannon Taylor. Antonio Tarver employed the a half mummy guard as he moved up to crusierweight. He had the 175 quick reflexes but was still tall enough. He measured and blocked a lot of the long left hand behind a half back step. See Tarver vs Green.
Well it's not really a mummy guard if you aren't extending both arms, but those are all examples of a guys using their reach to dictate range. I'd say Kostya Tsyu's stance was more of a "sniper" stance keeping the right hand ready and loaded to go down the pipe with the left arm pawing as a range finder.
archie didnt use it enough to be considered a mummy guard user, that would be like saying Gene tunney was a mummy guard user because there is a fight on youtube where he uses it!
more the Left lead extended out constant and/or both arms regularly... I do agree Ali was mocking Frasier as the Slow Plodding, Mummy Like Monster... but yeah a lot of Boxers did kind of bank on the constant extended Lead Arm.
Miguel Canto is the best I ever saw at using this. Followed by Saddler, then maybe Foreman. Lots of kickboxers are good at turning this into repeated stiff arms.
Where did I say it was exclusively for tall ranges fighers? If you are going to continue to act like a dick on this forum you can just talk boxing with yourself. I'm guessing you are another The Mortlock alt account? Just here to derail boxing conversations with BS.
The guard of a Mummy did not even have a closed fist. The arms and fingers of a Mummy were fully stretched out.. What sort of nonsense thread is this Foreman had the cross armed crab shell type defence
Gene tunney has a fight on here where he uses the mummy guard, but you do not see Tunney use it past that fight , I do not think someone using it once in a blue or for a fight counts as a mummy guard user!
you booty tickled for no reason, you said fighters with reach been using it since the dawn the sport or what not, meanwhile one of the better users of the guard used it against longer opponents, you want to be taken as the king expert things around here thats cute and your prerogative but hop your happy ass OFF OF MY THREAD ,if your goal is to be an authority of something you vaguely know anything about!
I think I will stay on your thread you arrogant *******. In fact, I will do whatever the **** I want to.
