    Why don't any boxers use this kind of stance anymore?

    You never see it these days, do you think someone could bring it back and have success with it?

    It was a primitive style. Definitely needed for the evolution of boxing, but now, out dated.

      It was deemed to effective and hence it was outlawed from prize fighting (boxing) and its just one of those traditions that stucked. Watch out for the generation that brings this back! nothing but knockouts!

        if you're tough and have power, you have a chance against anyone, even if you fight like a caveman.

                You need height and power.
                Wlad uses it. Its a defensive style that involves clinching

                  That's the white boy style, the white boy don't/didn't know sht about proper mechanics.

                  It looks like the lean back from everything style the ******ed kids on the street use when fighting. They called it the Limbo.
