most skilled defense.slipping punch's or blocking

That's because he doesn't belong in those guys' company.

even if u hate tyson guts to death. u cant say the 80s tyson didnt have good headmovement. that would be like sayin ali wasnt fast for a heavyweight when its obvious

He did have good head movement ....but not for long, & never was it on the level of Toney, Benitez, Whitaker, etc.

Maybe because he doesn't think that Tysons head movement is the best?

I block a lot - for me, slipping, although it looks great and can create openings, takes up too much energy. It's useful, but only in moderation - it's too big a movement for too little return, unless your sure that the counter after the slip will hit.

I block mostly, and slip once in a while. When i try to slip i get hit a lot too, but that's just my bad technique and timing.

I know what you mean. You might be slipping the wrong way. Alot of people jab and then naturally dip to their right, directly into the path of their opponent's straight right hand. What you have to do is when you jab, you have to dip and weave to the left to get away from the straight right hand and counter over the top with a left hook.

Slipping is, without a doubt, the more skilled defensive tactic, but it may not be the most effective tactic.

when i slip punches i rarely ever get hit. the most i've ever been hit is when i went to catskill cause i was in the range of a lanky fighter the whole time(****** move).to me blocking takes to much timing to do. also when i slip i see alot of opening of fighters still tryin to **** back there punches' well with me its easy

toney hell yeah. when ppl say slipping punches they think tyson automatically.and tyson used his slip to his advantage

yea but Tyson slipped with his guard on, he had both hands in chin hile he was slipping which is really smart and effective, some people might think of slip like southpaws with their left hand dropped or something like that, tyson was slippery as hell in his prime, I mostly block(sometimes additional slip if necessary) because that's how I was taught when I started boxing

Whenever anyone says anything about boxing you think tyson automatically.
