Boxing myths that need to be debunked.

Robert Garcia stating in an interview that Rigondeaux doesn't have power. lol.

 

Styles do make fights, but I never use the reason you gave to explain that.
Take AJ / Fury/ Wlad. I see a lot of things like "AJ KOd Wlad, he definitely beats fury!!" Etc But styles make fights.. So the problems Wlad give AJ aren't the same as the problems Fury can give.

 

Forrest / Mosley / Mayoga
Taylor / Hopkins / Pavlik
Foreman / Frazier / Ali

 

power comes from ,mass and speed. But in boxing numerous other factors come into play along with these two factors

mass can be broken down into hands(if you have fist like stones they will do more damage), weight and biomechanics. No point in having tons of mass and rock hard fists if your biomechanics are all over the place and you can't control the power you generate. It doesn't come from the legs, its comes from the ankles,knees,hips,core, shoulders elbows and wrists all working together to produce a movement in perfect unisin . I believe that the lower limbs play more of a role in power generation, depending on the punch, a hook will be more hips, a uppercut more knees. But the fixation of the forearm,wrist elbow and shoulder play the role in not losing that power as its transfered through the body.

speed is great too but it relies entirely on bio mechanics ,the same as power

many factors determine a fighters punching power, the main one being correct technique or in other words correct biomechanics for power generation

Interesting thread.

 

The best version of Pac beats PBF.

 

Another irritating myth was that Walters was a welter fighting at feather, stated in defense of Donaire getting his arse whooped. Walters is 5'7 and shorter than Lomachenko. Walters in ring weight of 138 according to HBO was what Lomachenko weighed in the ring against Russell Jr. Numerous feather weights are taller than Walters, and numerous feather weights have weighed more than 138 in the ring on fight night. Are they all welters as well? Smh

 

Was Floyd severely dehydrated?

 

Greatest example ever of this is Sumbu Kalambay getting iced by Michael Nunn (who wasn't
a big puncher), that never happened before or after again with Kalambay.

The worst misconception right now is Golovkin's power and that he hits harder
than HWs. Just no, I guarantee everyone in the LHW top 5 (except Ward)
all hit harder than Golovkin.

 

I know right. Rigs drops bigger men with single shots. He breaks facial bones with single shots as well. Most other boxers need an accumulation to get someone down.
