This thread is nonsense. All boxers have ways to throw shots that feel natural to them. There's no right or wrong way per se. If everyone stuck to the exact fundamentals of what you think is right and wrong or what is perceived as the correct way, boxing would be an extremely boring sport. The reason it is exciting is because everyone has their own styles and flaws which make fights interesting.
Just because something is supposed to be a correct technique doesn't mean it HAS to be done that way, as with anything in life, not just boxing.
This is what makes fights. Maidana had a lot of success against Floyd because he doesn't do anything textbook. A guy like Floyd is like a computer in the ring and once he processes information as patterns, it's probably game over but with Maidana there's no real pattern, most of it is done as he goes along. Put a very orthodox fighter like Kell Brook for instance in with Floyd, it would be very simple for him because he doesn't do much out of the ordinary and fundamentally sound. It would be extremely boring.
You should probably start watching archery or something instead. It would suit you more.
