    great thread!

    Boxing is a dying art form . . . with so many of the great trainers passing on. Today's boxers may be better athletes but old school fighters are better boxers.

    basically anyone ambidextrous can naturally shift

    see haggler
    see roy jones

    GGG's footwork is his weakest part of his game- its good just not elite

    for my money he also doesnt throw enough (neither does floyd, but floyd never faced anyone good enough to exploit that weakness)

    most fighters these days are one handed fighters therefore couldnt do this

    i can imagine cotto would be ok with it though

    GGG's output per round is one of the highest among pros second to Santa Cruz I guess. What you are talking about?

    Didn’t Montiel try this and get KTFO by Donaire?
    I know Montiel scored a few KOs with similar movements.

    adama is winning after 5 rounds

    so what is he doing

    turning him well- picking him off witha good jab

    on the inside GGG could be taken to school

    his power is great, but he hardly throws unless he has someone pinned

    he doesn't "utilize " the jab

    let me explain what that means

    the greats use the jab as a zoning tool
    a poking tool
    a measuring stick
    a foil to throw out the combinations

    i see GG only throwing in corners

    missing blindly in the centre

    your jab is your first line of attack and defense

    there has never been a great boxer who didn't use the jab

    it should be impossible to be great and not work it all behind solid fundamentals of the jab

    there are freaks of nature like roy jones who could hook, counter and throw straights faster than jabs- but he was the goat

    GGGs output when someone is zoning him correctly- is really bad

    dont even mention elite level operators like ward next to this guy
