Distance and Timing-an underrated trait

[Larry the boss]

All i hear most talk about is power and speed....both great traits but only a few boxers actually learn distance and timing..and once those are perfected that boxer is damn near unbeatable. Once you learn the space you need not to get hit but are in the perfect spot to land a spot aka you safe zone. and you perfect the timing needed to land your punch and avoid the counter,the opponents speed and power means nothing. Distance and timing separates the great fighters from the contenders

But said fighter (Floyd) hasn't proven his distance and timing against elite, prime, HOF caliber fighters, so the world will never know.

Practice makes perfect!

Yes, totally underrated traits,,,,,,


floyd, hopkins, serg, manny, jmm, mikey, klitchko all excel at this,,,

It sometimes seperates good fighters from great fighters,,, Bute struggles with it, so does GGG at times, and lucas,,, you can see them take unnecessary shots sometimes whereas floyd hopkins wouldnt get touched with the same shot...

Exactly...it may lead to what some call as a boring fight...but those who master it have long careers...

You sound like you're describing a certain fighter outside the ring... Distance and timing indeed.

We seriously gonna act like this wasn't a reply thread to the video of the guy saying Manny won't struggle with Floyd.

Really? Really? Reeeeeeally?

You're only now saying this, because Sugar Adam Ali gave you a response you weren't expecting, and now you're rolling with it.
