    He always does that. He drops his left and tucks his chin way down as if he's looking at his feet. Bernard Hopkins is the most textbook boxer I think I've ever seen.

      It is a pretty tough call, I don't think you could really go wrong either way. If I was pressed I would say Floyd but B-Hop is right there (1 and 1a IMO).

        B hop. It's more effective and it stuns his opponent almost every time. Even put the Almighty Calslappy down...lol

          I've never been to an actual boxing gym before to train, due to the lack of gyms in my area.

          So I don't have a whole lot of hands on, technical knowledge of the game and it's intricate details.

          But something about the way he does that makes it look seriously difficult to pull off.

          He tucks his chin so far into his neck so that it's impossible to catch him flush ; as a result, he's often looking at a downward angle either at his feet, or at his opponet's legs. You can only tuck you chin in so far before you eventually start to look away from your intended target.

          Like I said ; it looks difficult as hell to pull off, to me anyway.
