Re: Footage of legends/disappointment etc

They are talking about something that is a million miles removed from a peak Dixon.

I get it though, I sometimes use the fight Hopkins fought against Joe Smith Jr to judge his ability.

 

I don't think there is a fighter who looks very disappointing to me. Sam McVea looks cruder than I thought, but other than that most fighters met my expectations. I thought that Jack Johnson would be different, but not better for example. Jeffries looks good against Ruhlin to me. Corbett looks what I thought he would - fast and athletic man with odd style. Dempsey looks spectacular, but a bit wild.

We could say the same thing about modern fighters. Some people say that Fury moves like LW, to me he looks like smart and talented fighter who uses his size well.

 

He plays for camera with over 50 years old retired champion. They don't spar and Greb didn't fight that way in real fight.

Greb beat some of the best boxers ever by eye-test.

 

It’s bizarre. Check out 3:50 below.

None of this has anything do to with what I’m saying. All film of Greb that I’m aware of is just strange.

 

I don't see how you could say that, unless you only watch Lang fight.

 

All film of Greb show him doing things that are not fighting, so what is your point?

 

Dixons opponent goes down without a punch even landing too, it's an obvious fake, so I'd say it's even sillier. Might as well judge Tony Bellew for his boxing in Creed

 

I asked you what was he training for.

 

Well, if you’re a legend of boxing and you look like dog**** while shadowboxing, I consider it a disappointment.

50 year old Tyson is still great to watch when doing drills.

 

Idk

 

This is not shadowboxing.

 

Seems silly to judge someone on a training video when you actually know what the training was for.

Especially that same someone who has beaten as many unquestionably great fighters as Greb has.

 

I was a reel from the Mickey Walker fight IIRC.

 

I believe that Jeffries beat Sharkey with broken left arm. He used left hand mostly, but it doesn't mean that he could fight with his right.
