Why are backhands illegal in boxing???

[shadeyfizzle]

I repeat who wants to see boxers backhand slap each other!?

You wanna see that go watch some Hoes fightin, No one wants boxiers slappin eack other!

That would take pitty-pat to a new level

Flicker jabs are pretty much backhands and im sure you've enjoyed several thomas hearns and jermain taylor fights. Pretty sure you've watched the bourne identity movies and they incorporate plenty of backhands in their fight scenes and alotta people still enjoyed it

I enjoy seeing Hearns KO people with his right hand. Not backhand pimp slap people

Yeah i enjoyed the two 'wars' with Hopkins and the FotY Cory Spinks match up

Comparing Boxing and a Movie doesn't work. I enjoyed Rocky, don't mean i will instantly love any boxing fight

How do you think he was able to land those rights so effectively?? Remember the original point I wanted to get across was that backhands would add a whole new layer of strategy to the sweet science

Was is a past term, that layer is already there. Unless you want to evolve it.



Ignore the first 5 seconds. That would not help boxing

Yes it would definitely evolve if it was legal. Lets take that video you posted as reference. If a boxer threw that same backhand in boxing it would have been blocked the same way as a hook. But when it gets blocked up top the backhand can be doubled up and thrown to the body which would now be wide open.
