    So on some level, boxing is the boulder in the stream.

    I strongly disagree with people who say Lomachenko would lose to a prime 130lb Mayweather.

    Andre Ward might give him a run for his money.

    You also think Floyd lost to Larry O'Shields.

    You love making this baseless assertion. If it were true, we would be able to pinpoint with complete accuracy the first fighters to use any number of tactics and techniques. That's not how boxing works though. Fighters and trainers hone their technique incrementally and over time, through experience and experimentation.

    I don't think anyone really gets what you're talking about with this comment.

    Blackburn prided himself on teaching Louis the exact same way he was taught.

    What do you make of that?

    I'm not surprised at the Dempsey story. My unique philosophy of fight styles is that they evolve with pop culture. Ali was "dancing" to the popular rhythms of his time.

    Funny if all our disagreements on styles stem from the music in the era!

    1. No version of Frazier has a shot against Foreman. A bad stylistic match-up.

    2. Ha ha ha.

    4. Why have weights then? And you can give legions of counter-examples where good little guys lost to good big guys. You cannot make a generalized claims from exceptions.
