Thogh there are no great fighters in prime in his resume. Mosley beat Oscar, Pac beat Barrera, Roy Johnes beat Toney, etc. The closest name on his resume to be prime great boxer is Castilo, though he is level below than mentioned boxers.

Barrera wasn't in his prime when Pac beat him.

I rate his victory over Alvarez as high as any these wins.

I have noticed that in 80s all boxers punched with more rotation of shoulders and back, they threw more amplitude punches. It's easily seen for example in your analysis of Duran/ Why today there is another technique of punch, without such rotation?

I would not go so far as to say that.There are plenty of fighters who rotate through their punches. GGG is probably the best example but generally speaking it happens on a fight by fight basis. Particularly if a guy is fighting some body with a suspect chin or they have a serious power advantage over.

Turning the hips and shoulders through is a double edge sword. Yes it adds a ton of additional power to your punch but it also leaves you badly out of position if you miss. Dempsy put his hips into every punch he threw but got outboxed by Tunney.

I am of the belief that there is nothing really new in boxing other that the way fights are reffed. I badly miss the inside game, so few fighter are really great at it anymore.
