    Yeah right. No way Margarito keeps his D tight. This dude is going to be all offense all the time. He starts worrying alot about his D and Floyd will kill him. The only chance he has is to put over a 100 punches a round on Floyd. If he starts doing more D and cutting down on his punch output then he wouldnt be the same guy and Floyd will dictate the fight
    I mean, he won't keep his defence tight but he'll keep his hands up. Once he puts his hands up Floyd will just shoot the gab and rip 3 combo's off.

      You can either 'loop' your punches, or throw them straight. Nothing to do with angles.
      Punches has nothing to do with angles? Is that what you're saying?!? And you're calling me the ****** one?

      Boxing is pretty much a sport of angles... From which stance you choose (orthodox or southpaw) right there it generates a different angle.

      Your opponent leaning forward, generates a different angle (shifting body weight like you said)

      Also PUNCHES can have unconventenial angles to them as well, sometimes you see a cross between a hook and an uppercut, and overhand and a hook, etc. Angles in boxing is not only limited to where you position your body weight.

        Nah.. Corley caught Mayweather good. Corley has fast hands. And what you can't see will hurt you. Like in the Cotto fight. Who wouldn't get hurt by that punch? Right on the temple. Look how clean that **** was and fast!
        Chop is my man. I think he's better then alot of people give him credit for. I was talking to him on the phone when he was in Camp for the Zab fight and he talked a big game but came out shy. I knew he would go all out against Floyd & Cotto but came up just short. Dude has mad skill though and I always thought he had the body where he could drop down to 135 and I thought he could be the Champ there

            Watch a sweatpea fight, and you will know what an angle is. Hell, watch a Hatton fight.

            Angles has nothing to do with how you punch. ****, have you ever boxed? You either throw your punches straight, or looped. Nothing to do with angles, sorry dude. Honestly, you're trying to tell me that the way you position your arm creates an angle. You're wrong, just man up and admit it.

                  I like Chop too. He lacks a killer instinct though. He's an olympian, so he's got crazy skill but he can't finish guys like the greats. Even Floyd early in his career could finish guys with a defensive style (Manfredy). Corley looked out of his element trying to finish Mayweather, Cotto.

                      Of course your arm creates an angle...

                      Are straight punches not at an angle? 180 degrees (usually)
                      Loopy punches can vary anywhere between 145-45 degrees
                      and Uppercuts are usually around 90 degrees...

                      How can you say that punches don't produce angles???
