Soon boxers and sluggers will be non-existent

[face untouched]

Styles are adapting, the traditional methods used back in the day are outdated and obsolete. With technology rapidly advancing can you imagine what a fighter of the caliber of Floyd would've done 50 or 60 years ago? He would've frozen multiple weight classes in fear. Strength and conditioning coaches aswell as other technological advances are literally revolutionizing boxing. Every major fighter today is getting tested while they're performing at a high levels.

Old school boxing techniques are changing too, now they've been replaced by natural talent, raw skills and athleticism like Ward, Floyd, Broner etc. Fighters are adapting and embracing different stances like the philly shell. Standing in the middle of the ring and swinging like a wild man with no skill isn't whats cool anymore because fighters that do that get schooled. Look at the P4P rankings and you'll see that the top 5 fighters are undefeated, defensive, and extraordinary talented.

P4P

1.Mayweather
2.Ward
3.Bradley
4.Broner
5.Rigondeux

The man that brought this change forth is the King of boxing today. It doesnt matter how much you hate him. He's the best and it's unquestionable. He introduced testing, He single-handedly cleaned the sport, he made being defensive and using your legs cool, he's improving boxing little by little and I think that's going to be a major part of his legacy.

I take it you're also a huge Klitschko fan?

Did I mention Klitschko? What he did last weekend was a disgrace to boxing. He doesn't represent any of the technical skills, or talent that the modern boxers that are taking over have.

knocksout are over rated

who is that

Broner shouldn't even be in the top 10 and I like Broner too, in the ring that is. Broner doesn't have the legs of Bradley, Mayweather, Rigondeaux or Ward, not to say he's slow but cutting off the ring is more problematic for him than the other fighters you mentioned. Now Broner in the pocket is beastly which is why I don't see many fighters beating him.

Broner in the pocket is literally invincible. Ponce, Paulie and the midget didn't out work or outland him


anyways I ran out of red k before I saw this thread

The irony of your post is that Mayweather is viewed as an old-school fighter, and even talks about being that last of his kind, in this regard. He trains like an old-school fighter, given that he sticks to the basics: roadwork, basic body-weight exercises, and typical boxing routine.

lol no sluggers or at least boxer punchers is how boxing dies.

at least broner actively goes for KOs.
