No trainer is going to teach a amatuer to throw lead right hands for the very reasons i stated, Its a slow punch and has to travel too far and is easily countered. However Floyd is able to do it with ease. And if it was so easy that a amature could do it you would see more boxers doing.
ever watch john joe nevin fight in the amatuers? the lead right was his main scoring shot, usually followed by tieing up or getting out of trouble. he could do it with ease
Say whatever you like. You do not see boxers throwing lead right hands. You just dont do it. Its dangerous to do so. THEY ALWAYS SAY YOU HAVE TO SET UP THE RIGHT HAND.
you don't understand that a lot of amatuers use that shot regularly . if followed by a clinch its very hard to defend against
It's actually a good punch if you know how to use it. It's most effective when you're moving because your opponent isn't expecting it.
You dont understand how hard it is to throw lead right hands at the professional level. With seasoned fighters you do not throw lead right hands, again its a slow punch, it has to travel too far, its easily countered. It is not done at the professional level.
its not a slow punch if your angled correctly, its a corkscrew shot not a traditional cross as your discribing
The question was Floyd throwing pot shots. Floyd throws this punch as a right cross. This is very difficult at the professional level. Floyds speed timing distance allows him to do it with ease. Now i dont get to see every fight only fights on hbo showtime espn and nbc. I do not see anyone throwing lead right hands period. (exception the other fighter is hurt and they are closing the show)
People should understand that a "counter right" is not a "lead right". Mayweather might throw some lead rights, he can get away with it because he's very fast and talented, but most often what people are seeing is him throwing a COUNTER, ie. he's countering a move by the opponent, he's not initiating or "leading".
