Never knew you had so much increase in reach by leaning forward

    This is a Funny one, I understand exactly what is being said. But what governs everything as regards the Body, and Balance is the Head, Oral stability. Through which the Golgi complex and Pituitary Gland with instruction from the inner ear and your Homeostasis governs Balance and Touch and Feel, and the ability too move. This and the understanding of it makes everything fit into place :roll: :patsch.

    In fact, I'll go a step further on this. The difference in weight distribution is the reason I think Floyd will put pac on the ass end of an ass-kicking should they meet.

    Pac is too side on - this does two things:
    1. restricts his head movement. try this - stand side on and try moving your head. you can't do it without being off balance.
    2. means he has to move his whole body to move in and out of range effectively.

    These two flaws will be lethal against Floyd.

    If you stand in a squarer stance as floyd does, with a nuetral weight distribution you can use the full range of motion of your hips to move your head without being off balance.

    Think of it like having a square to stand on and putting your feet on opposite corners (Floyd) or corners of the same edge (Pac). one is fundamentally more stable than the other.

    I think I'm getting addicted to boxing, all I can think about is the next training and what things I want to try out and work on when I'm not occupied
     
  4. Reaching out isn't good, you lose mobility when fully extended, your chin is over your knee possibly off balance. Also stylistically the judges will see you don't look like a keen fighter, possible holes in defense you letting your strength become a weakness they will think you are over compensating, refuse to get hit or want to exert effective aggression.

    Also at 6'3 i imagine there should be enough natural reach no need to lean
