    1/10 boxer.
    Would get dominated by modern athletes.
    Clearly worse technique than Marciano.

    That was so in the past. Much more modern now.

    That is a way Marciano used to cut off the ring and close the gap. A way he has been mocked for on this forum.

    If you name any fighter, I can probably find them crossing their feet in the first fight that I pull up.

    The whole "crossing his feet" criticism of Marciano that has been popularized here over the last several years never made sense to me. Of course you don't want to cross your feet, but fighters do unconventional things all. the. time.

    It's a classic example of what is textbook versus what actually happens. It exists in most fields and trades.

    Likely never, but you never know.

    I made a video restoring classic footage but the results weren't good enough.
    As the AI restoration tools improve, I may come do some work with that.

    You did good restoring classic footage, it was the best that could be done at the time and me and all the other viewers thought it was brilliant, you are the best boxing channel that makes highlight reels of fighters

    Didn’t Pernell Whitaker cross his feet sometimes?

    One, I'm utilizing better opportunities I have going on in my life.
    Two, I'm pursuing a more meaningful boxing project right now. I can share more details in about a year or so. All I can say is it's very exciting.

    Thank you Devon, I appreciate that.
    I'll always cherish the videos I made, and I'll always appreciate the amazing things people have said about them. They'll be online forever I suppose.

    Often.

    Choose any boxer, ever. Go to the very first fight you pull up, and you'll find moments where they cross their feet.
