I have no issue with using movement/defense, its part of the game. Issue is with the lack of enforcement of fouls like hugging/ducking below waistline, or excessive movement (avoiding the fight).
I do wish these "defensive geniuses" fought more like Toney, standing in the pocket and making them miss not being chased around the ring all night. Wonder what would happen if you get two guys that refuse to engage in the same ring? Just imagine Floyd v Rigo...
Personally, I don't think backwards movement is ring generalship, sure it dictates the pace of the fight, but when over-done, its just plain avoiding the fight.

Good list.
But duran had plenty of skills. And heavyweights don't count. They can end a fight with one punch. So they don't tend to move
Aggressive and toe to toe are two different thingsLast edited by bluebeam; 02-12-2016, 10:06 PM.
