Why are some fighters flat footed? Is it genetic like speed?

[RetroSpeed05]

Some people are just more athletic than others. Also Chino foot speed is underrated, all you hear is hes a flatfooted Rios, which is hilarious cause if you actually open your eyes when Floyd tried to move away Chino caught up to him and he has a nice bounce to his step, unlike Canelo who looks like he has cement on his feet.

I didn't say only white guys have it. I called it white guy syndrome. Like when a white guy has a little funk to his step, or can dance like a black guy. Same thing.

No white guy can dance like a black guy.

He has to be taught. He needs an example to COPY.


Albeit, I can teach a dog to walk on two feet, but it's not natural to him. But entertaining to the uninitiated...

I don't think being a flat footed fighter is determined by if you actually have flat feet lol. It's how they were taught. Broner bounced around a little vs taylor

Yup, Broner actually bounced around a lot against Maidana ...... after he got hit!

Lol he actually got up. Unlike your hero pac

Lol it's how you train. How you train is how you fight. Look at how a guy like pac hits the mitts/bags and then watch how broner hits the mitts/bag. you'll get your answer.

its just goes by how you grew up, if you was athletic since a kid then you be that as an adult, but if you was more of a calm person you gonna be heavy on your feets.

there is a genetic trait that gives some people flat feet(literal)

but they say it makes no difference, some even argue it's better for balance
anyway

some guys just dont train for that explosive footwork, your legs not only have to be strong but you have to be fast too, i've seen canelo do some distance covering stutter steps but he doesn't do it often, his legs probably are'nt explosive enough for him to keep it up

The Canelo fight is on now. Still no idea what that ****** was doing against Floyd.

He was scared ****less for like 10 rounds

My feet are flat and I had no idea that people argued that it was better for balance. How is this so?

Flat feet aren't better for balance. Especially if you pronate. It makes things un aligned
