    I know, nobody likes to get hit unless your are a masochist, but I didnt want to make long ass titel explaining what I mean.

    1. Take Rigo as an example. In Casimero fight he was literally running away and turning his back to an opponent. Against Loma he knew he cant run against a fighter, who got ATG or GOAT footwork and speed, so he was non-stop ducking, looked like he wanted to give Vasyl some blow. Loma adapted and started to land double/triple uppercuts, he also embarassed him by side stepping to his back without punching. Rigo couldnt run, couldnt hide and duck. As a result he no mased on his stool. At the same night we watched a great fight between Egidius and Ortiz, Ortiz was kinda slower than his opponent, but he took some risks and won the fight in spectacular fashion.

    2. Floyd. Yes, he wasnt risk taker either, but his superb reflexes and upperbody movement allowed him to stay within the punching range and counter, also his punch variety was 10x better than Rigos. Mayweather looked like Aaron Pryor compared to Rigo.

    3. Wlad… He was usually the bigger men in the ring but was always afraid of getting tagged in mid and close range and ready to clinch to death. I would rather watch 1 hour scat porn than rewatch Klit vs Povetkin fight.

    Name more.

    Henry Akinwande, I think he`s still holding Lewis as I write this.

    Good choice! If Wlad vs Akinwande would have fought it would be ppv on pornhub.

    He is not running here or against Donaire. He actually stood in the pocket and trade. Against Casimero he was doing laps around the ring literally.

    I think there were 2 Floyd Jr versions.
    One before he had get hands injuries and moved up in weight classes.
    I think he not so much had fear to get hit rather than to use his hands with 100-101 % power after this.
    This is clinical stuff, for example I know one boxer who had relatively high stoppage % with am gloves and he turned into a pro.
    He before this had damaged hand and never ever after this had achieved stoppage.
    This most likely was psychological thing.

    Wlad initially was talented am and Olympic champ, am superstar.
    He had more open style and had sparked a bit.
    He did not had stick with his only one truth for style and gladly took also western training, paid for this and wasn't selfish.

    I think he had some fear to get hit in the chin.
    I actually maybe understand this. The same head: on him maybe well worked to hit him in the chin, while on me attempts to beat core or chin were without desired effect, I had some vulnerable areas.
    It is individual thing.


    Regards to not throwing with 101% after hand injuries I had saw a lot boxers, KBers.

    The Bodybuilder Anthony Joshua especially after Wlad and Fat Andy struck fear into him.

    Yeah, but this is in any weight class.
    In each weight class are some lads who does have not only high power and proper body mechanics but also precision level.

    Legs are one from most important element in boxing, not less than hands and body, maybe even more impactful on performance because from legwork depends : mobility, agility and punch power, timing and even speed.
