    is it better to...



    stay in the center of the ring and force the opponent to move with his back close to the ropes and control them with the jab (this is what thomas hearns done, and what klitschko done to haye), or move around constantly and circling them and looking to put angles on them and never letting them plant their feet.

    Depends on your style of fighting. I, as a tall fighter, hate being in corners and against the ropes. I prefer to take center. It depends what works for you. If you are an aggressive fighter, take center and get the other guy cirling you.

    it depends on things such as your style.
    are you a big puncher? are you strong? aggressive? if you answered yes to these 3 questions then you should have your man circling.

    imo no heavyweight was as good at taking the centre of the ring and being the boss than Big george foreman...2nd career
