Not sure if this has already been posted on here but for anyone that didn't know - here it is [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYN2eeIuZr4&feature=related[/ame] Interesting to make the comparison against Robinson's go against Maxim
I'd say that the difference was that Charles could handle Maxim's strength easier and thus did not have to use as much movement. Robinson was handily outpointing Maxim, but Maxim was able to impose his physical strength. Against the likes of Moore and Charles, Maxim didn't have such a strength advantage. Surprisingly, Maxim said that Robinson hit him as hard as anybody, this despite Maxim having faced the likes of Charles and Satterfield.
Perfect sharp punching is what that is. Hits you hard from a perfect base as you're coming onto him, right on the spot. Robinson didn't waste much, and not in the sense of great economy so much as unerring accuracy.
True. I believe Robinson once claimed that he was not a naturally hard puncher and didn't possess the bludgeoning power of a George Foreman for example, but his accuracy and punching technique more than made up for it.
All the boxing i've watched i've never, ever, ever seen someone who so consistantly punches through the target, toe to knuckle, controls his balance, and marries it all to mobility. Guys who can even do all of that at all are rare. And that's before we get to his in-fighting ability.
thats also what micky walker said -heavyweights hit no harder than good middleweights. Im convinced its to do with the old gloves of 6oz. this is no longer the case. myself i never boxed with less than 10 oz but back in the day when those wet horse hair filed gloves that could be manipulated away from the knucles a speedy guy could give away weight since punches you dont see coming still hurt as much. its the same reson those mma guys go over so easily they have way less than 10 oz gloves and they cant watch feet and hands at the same time.
