Boxing is a complex, intricate sport, there are many nuances. A fighter is always learning, and schools of boxing have developed and honed tactics and methodologies which have been proven to be successful time and again at all levels of the sport.
In part this is because of the rich history of boxing, and how dominant it was on a global scale during the golden era, how rich the talent pool was.
Boxing is a chess match of mind and body. The ring of truth. You learn things about your opponent in the ring, and you learn things about yourself.
Tyson once said that you are always chasing that perfect round, but you never get it. Think about that. You can train from childhood and fight through adulthood beyond your prime, but still have improvements, weaknesses, mistakes. throw faster, move your head more, step back and counter instead of trying to roll to the left and pivot in the pocket against an inside fighter.
Imagine if we took the minds of guys like Benton, Burley, Cus, Nacho, Peter Fury, and dumped them on paper. How many books would we have? So much knowledge, experience, techniques, counter tactics, teaching methodologies, tricks of the trade, training secrets...
