Crossed armed defense...?

Yeah,that's why Archie lost to Patterson,Marciano,Charles,Bivins,Burley,Booker and Chase.

 

What an idiotic statement.

 

Witherspoon used a hybrid vs Holmes at times. Picked off the jab quite well with the right glove in front of his face.

 

It’s a good cover up defense, especially when a fighter is hurt on the ropes or corners. Fighters with big arms can be good at this type of defense is they work at it. The trouble with the cross armed defense style is unlike a conventional guard, and fighter has to “ uncross “ his arms to mount an offense in most cases.

 

I've explained to you how to block from all angles. That signalled the end of our two way.

 

If Archie Moore is your best example for perfect crossed arm def then you have to admit that your example lacks some logic.

 

Hmm, no. Your statement is what lacks knowledge:

Can't I just say 'Ray Robinson used a conventional guard but lost to LaMotta, Turpin, Basilio, Fullmer, Jones and Maxim'? Yes, I think I can.

 

There is NO def method that covers every area of your head and body without being forced to react. That's why Moore was regarded a slow mummy,period.

 

Who regarded Moore as a slow mummy?

 

Sure you can. Read my post above.

 

He was,trust me. If you have to compare Patterson/Moore then Moore is like Tut Ench Amun.

 

I've read it, and am still not enlightened nor impressed.

 

'Trust me'

That doesn't back up your statement. Again - who regarded Moore as a slow mummy?

As for Patterson-Moore... Well firstly, Moore was past his prime by that point in his career and was jumping weights like an obese anorexic. Second; Patterson was one of the fastest ever at around 190lbs - because Moore was slower, it doesn't mean he was slow.

Infact, Moore was quick during his more successful days. He wasn't lightning fast, but he was nowhere near slow either. Not at all.

 

Good. Now do you have any other example for a perfect crossed arm def displaying it as a wonder-def?

 

Anyone who has ANY knowledge of boxing or human sense which you obviously lack both.
