Sonny Liston vs Hasim Rahman

In what year did slipping, blocking, parrying, ducking, pivoting and sliding go out date? Watch him enough and you might even see the odd shoulder roll.

Asking for a friend.

 

What in the video is outdated, and what are the mistakes he's making?

His handspeed is slow, but the rest of him doesn't actually look that bad in the speed department.

 

Sonny's monochrome skills don't transfer to our technicolor world. Of the early 60s heavies, only Ali could make the transition to the modern palette.

 

But Ali couldn't for the likes of moolaman and white lightning or whatever he is

 

Anyway, the answer to your question of when ducking went out of style is 1926, when Dempsey forgot to do it.

It's a lost art.

 

And here we were with video evidence Liston brought it back but nuh...............................

 

well the way he did all those things was outdated wasnt as smoothly or advanced as 80s-90s troll question I have seen him enough is why I can say this maybe you should watch more

trolling trying to ask questions acting dumb like that doesn't work with me you know that already

 

How was the way all these things were done in the 80's and 90's more advanced? Please explain in plenty of detail so all us simple folk can learn.

 

he looks almost to be like not sure in his movement and comes forward while ducking and the way he is ducking is not as smooth and looks so basic how can you not see this

 

a vid will do the same wouldnt it

 

Ok i look forward to you making a comparison vid. When will it be finished?

 

well If I post the vid all your going to do is just act blind and say how the breakdown I give is wrong when its not

 

Well at least we will have something to go on other than his ducking isn't smooth and his slipping, blocking, parrying, ducking, pivoting and sliding is "out of date". If i didn't hold you in such immense esteem i'd think that is a cop out.

 

No ,everything Rahman does Sonny does better.

 

Well, people don't always see the same things. Maybe you can tell me what I'm missing.

For example: Can you give me an example/timestamp from the video of when Liston doesn't look sure of his movement? It's hard because what you're describing sounds more like you're describing his mindset / inner thoughts rather than any observable technique.

I also don't know what you mean by "not as smooth" and "so basic." Like, what would Liston look like if he was more advanced and fluid? What should he be doing differently? What would you tell him to do if you were his boxing coach? Feel free to refer to timestamps.
