is it ever a good idea to throw a couple of wild swings to get your opponent, when normal hooks don't work?? I always have a hard time hitting taller opponents with a perfect hook (90 degree angle hook) technique-wise, in the head, cuz they always lean out of the way. Can I get away with swinging wildly at a taller guy to land my shots, or atleast throw my punches with less technique?? also I'm having having a hard time getting in, everytime I do I get pummelled with wild swings, which make me back off, how do I get over this??

No, boxing wise, it's ******.
If a taller guy is able to evade your better, more accurate shorter punches what makes you think he won't be able to dodge your sunday punches.

I think the question should be, what do you do when you can't land your hooks on a taller opponent?
Throw short crosses using angles.

what do u mean by using angles?? also is it a good idea to fight him on the inside cuz every time I do he backs away and throws all these swings.

nah i dont think u should ever swing wildly at someone, cuz u can get countered alot easier and put on ur ass. keep ur calm and if something doesnt work try something else. something will work, and if it doesnt, well ur jus outclassed u gotta train harder and think smarter next time...

If you're smaller than him, stay smaller than him. Bend your knees a bit more and make him come down to your level. That should allow you to get at his head a little more, or, he'll stay standing and its easier to slip a few jabs to the stomach but make sure you get out quick. With enough shots to the body you should break him down and eventually the hands should drop. Maybe try throwing those hooks to the body instead of the head also.
