Worst habits you've seen in an elite fighter

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Polymath, Feb 18, 2010.


  1. Jermaine Taylor, hanging his chin over his front foot. Dont know if its already been said.

    Roy Jones, getting knocked the **** out by bums.

    Mosley, dropping his left hand and whipping is head to the left when he throws the right.

    DLH was also way too tense in the early rounds and wore himself out in the late rounds. Especially the Hopkins fight was the worse. He was trying way to hard to push the jab as fast as possible and it tired him out.

    If theyre faster than their opponents I think they do it to set up the left hook to land faster like Money May does

    some guys **** with their belt/shorts so much that they end up getting hit when they drop their hands to adjust it. Whats bad is theyre dropping both hands at the same time too
     
  6. Only thing he gonne be hitting with his head are the other mu****as gloves.

    Margarito, using his face as a form of defence.

    Feel free to check the list of fouls posted on the NSAC web-page and tell me where ducking below the waist is listed.

    Well if it's an "elite" fighter I'd take Satchel Paige's advice..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

    Maidana does it in every single free moment of fight. After his first fight i saw(against Kotelnik) i thought it because of not properly fixed groin protector but after i've seen lot of his fights and he did this in every fight in any moment while he wasn't throwing punches.

    It probably isn't on a list of fouls, as it's something that's just tacitly non-permitted.

    Like running outside of the ring and slapping your ***** against the ring card girl - not allowed, you will be disqualified, but does not appear on a list of fouls.

    It's against the rules of the sport and has been...I don't know, forever? - well-documented, you can do your own research. :good

    He and Dirrell and some others get away with it all the time. It's like LeBron never getting called for traveling.

    Cotto has better defensive movement and posture than people give him credit for, but the way he pokes out his elbows has proved fatal.

    Pacquiao's reliance on his footwork leaves his guard wide for an accurate timer to capitalize on, which you can clearly see in both Marquez fights.

    De La Hoya over-thinks and starts to stagnate and leave himself open while anticipating shots to block.

    Khan drops his right hand every time he jabs.

    Now that I think about it a freakin lot of big fighters have **** guards and mediocre head movement.
