    Power mechanics in the olden days were superior to their modern day counterparts?

    Agree or disagree and why?

    Im not trolling I want to know the answer genuinely.

    The way I see it Jack Dempsey has better power mechanics than mike tyson george foreman or lennox lewis, he may not hit as hard but his technique for generating power is superior and more advanced.

    I suspect dempsey was the exception and that for the most part olden day boxers had inferior mechanics but I dont know for sure.

    Do you?

      Lol

      Still waiting on that vid of your sonic jab. As you said, SPEAKS VOLUMES. Seriously, have you dedicated your life to this power punch of yours? Did you hit a kid with your hardest punch once, and they laughed at you? Just stop with these power punch threads jesus Christ. Dempsey was able to swing like that because in those days It was more of a brawling style and you could get away with loading up, doesn't mean he could get away with it today. I like how you tell everyone that us not posting a video speaks volumes, when you havnt posted one yourself lol. POST IT I wanna see this flying noodle jab

        He threw that jab at me once. As he was doing so, my trainer called out: "Look out! He's throwing a jab! Here it comes! It's halfway to the target! Oh no, it's almost here! Slip it, now!"

                  Do you understand leverage?

                  What is leverage to you?
