One thing trainers always tell you is that everyone is a boxing expert.
Fans critique other sports, but not like they lay into boxers. They’ll talk all day about the stupid play the Seahawks ran to give the Super Bowl to the Patriots. They’ll nitpick dumb inbound pass plays, fumbles, dropped passes, errant throws, missed tackles, air-balls, and general gaffs made by players who make millions of dollars a year. But Boxing is the most basic sport ever invented. The only legal way to score is striking above the waist, to the front of the body, with the end of the fist – without employing leverage, holding, wrestling, leaning, pushing or shoving with gloves, forearms, shoulders, body, or head ... or at least that’s Queensberry. It’s pretty easy for the average armchair expert to critique because you win by hitting more than you get hit or by knocking the other guy out.
Anyone can nitpick anyone’s performance in Boxing because everybody loses rounds. Everybody gets hit. Monzon won all the fights where his performances were critiqued above... Liston was an old timer who fought 3 rounds in the previous 3 years when he fought Ali... and when he was flattened by Leotis Martin Liston was probably past 50. Saddler won 3 of the 4 Pep fights.
There’s a video on YouTube explaining why Conor McGregor is certain to beat Floyd Mayweather. It shows the worst moments of the first 3 rounds of Floyd’s Judah fight -- the knockdown and when Floyd took blistering punches and combinations... then showed Floyd getting knocked wobble legged by Mosley’s right handers... then show Corley blasting Floyd with southpaw left hooks and other shots... If you never watched Boxing before you might think “Gee Whiz!! This guy needs some boxing lessons, he’s getting hammered.” Forget the fact Mayweather is one of the greatest defenders in Boxing History – you can still make him look like a punching bag by finding the right footage and pulling some of his worst moments together.
