    Is there a such thing as correct technique. Yes or No?

    There is no such thing as a singular correct technique. There are multiple correct techniques.

    Correct.

    There are multiple correct techniques the thing is they aren't vastly different from each other. When I said there is only one correct way to throw the punch I am talking in basic generalized terms. Of course I know about the different types of jabs, shovel hooks, etc.

    The question wasn't mean't to be complicated or a trick. I am told on here that the super heavyweights from the past didn't know how to punch with correct technique which apparently means that any wins over them doesn't translate at all to how those fighters would do against the same sized present day heavyweights as far as how handling their size goes. I was going off of that.

    I didn't start anything, I simply asked an open-ended question about what you meant by "correct technique." You started this debate with your (smart-ass) replies.

    A lot of people have been saying that the super heavyweights of the older times couldn't throw punches with correct technique.

    really? you dont think boxing has "evolved" so that todays fattie are far more skilled than joe louis?

    I am pretty sure you've advocated such repeatedly, why you suddenly in denial?

    You are really talking **** about my grammar when you are starting your sentences with "And"? Really?

    Hypocrisy.

    The classic "Losing an argument so you go and join another guy I am arguing against". You display the level of maturity of a school child on the playground.

    Its a question, questions are commonly started with, "and," so are many sentences. The "and & but rule" was discarded with the advent of writers such as Joyce, Faulkner,Mitchell , Calvino etc

    Your grammar doesnt interest me so much as your attitude to everyone else.Tell me, are you bullied at college,are you undersized?
