Examples of boxers neutralizing the opponent's superior speed and athleticism

I've seen it but can't find it on youtube. I think it was around 73.

He was s l o w ...

 

anyone mention norton with ali?

 

Votes don't mean much. Results do.

 

Damn, would still like to see it.

 

Not sure good one though :good, although with Alis decline its arguable that Norton was more athletic than Ali the times they fought

 

:good:good:good:-(

 

It just depends on what genetics the person has, some of the boxers will have better genetics for distance running sprint ect it just depends, but i agree i think boxers are the most fit athletes overall

 

Chavez was relentless even when he was losing.

 

It was filmed. I don't know what year it was.

I'd certainly describe his ring footwork as quick, but there's absolutely nothing in anything a fighter does in the ring that would indicate sprinting ability.
In fact, a slow-footed plodder in the ring might well be the fastest sprinter.
Boxing resembles sprinting in no way whatsoever.
A boxing ring is only 6 metres across, maybe that comes to about 8.5 metres corner to corner. I guess in theory that's just about enough to start a sprint, if you're a good sprint starter, and crash into the opposite turnbuckle.
It might make the crowd laugh, but has **** all to do with anything we normally see in boxing.

 

Which one's the 'superior athlete' ?

(Not that it matters, they seemed to neutralize each other. :good)
