Pretty Boy & Ray & Sweat Pea: Subtle Tricks

[Bozbay]

I don't see much technical content on here so I thought I would create this.

Floyd Mayweather, Sugar Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker are some of the sport's finest boxers.

What subtle tricks or moves have you seen these fighters use? Thing's that the casual eye misses.

Now, this is not a post to talk about how great or not so great these three fighters were. Let's focus on the boxing here people!

Ray Leonard mainly used footwork to get in and out with punches.

Floyd's speciallty is his shoulder roll, without wwhich he wouldnt be anywhere in boxing.

Lol what's going on bro? Even I think Robinson is better than all of them but the question isn't about who is greater.

Sweet Pea gave guys fits in the ring, the angles, the way he moved, jumped away or pounced on people, gave his opponents fits. Most had never ever seen anything like it.

He would squat low to create new points of attack.

Awesome.
