Boxing thread My grand grandfather who was a former boxer training

Pro boxer here. 1 , punching power is god given you either are born with it or not. 2, lanky guys are usually deadly punchers something about long ligaments snapping punches like a ball on a chain... tommy hearns for example... there are exceptions but usually tall lanky guys who look more like tennis players than they do fighters are deadly punchers . I'm a pro fighter with over 60 pro fights I know.

Threadly reminder that boxing, while being a good sport, shouldn't be practiced more than 2 years. Even done lightly, sparring are damaging your brains.
Boxing is literally a contest to who will damage the other's brain the most.

How strong are you ? Also strenght does matter at boxing ?

My grand grandpa told me the shorter the ligaments the stronger the joints but he may be wrong

>>42277667
You type like someone who has taken too many blows too the head if nothing else.

Strength & punching power are two different things. Strength in the ring is important to be able and move your opponent around by punching power is completely different strengths helps you press the inside fight and pull your opponent around but if someone has devastating punching power they can be loose in the whole fired and knock you out with one shot that kind of power is very rare though
Like I said tall lanky film guys are you really devastating punchers usually if they have very thin legs and long with the alarms they can punch very hard look at all the best petrosian boxing usually tall and lean

>>42277667
What about "short" (5'8) guys like me but with very long arms and short strong legs?

>>42277691
Haha sorry using voice typing since I'm actually busy now

>>42277709
5'8 ... that is not that short that's actually Canelo's height by the way… You can be 5'8 and lean& lanky... look at triple G he looks more like a tennis player than a boxer and he has devastating power

>>42277700
How long takes for a supragifted lets say it a genetic freak to become champion at boxing if he started at 23 ? But lets asume he already have devasting power and speed

Would boxing be a retarded way to fight in a ordinary street fight? I haven't fought anyone outside of the ring since I was in middle school. Like if I were to be attacked by someone random I would without a doubt go in to stance in throw straight 1's, 2's. Would I win fights like this or would I just be grappled and fucked up. This is considering the guy im fighting is around my height as well 5'10.

Guys looking for a fight in the street are 99% of the time shitters who don't even know how to throw a punch. You won't have any trouble if you have at least a few months of boxing.
Now if you start shit and are against a grappler, this is something else.

Long ligaments doesn't lock you out of the boxing game, theres many styles than matty. but this statement is reltively correct. Power punchers have a hard time with hitman style for example because of its tendency to shoulder glance blows head on.

It isn't all about power, if anything, its about how long you can stand up after your limit. Endurance, in my experience, is the big one.

t. Boxing enthusiast but can't participate cause floating patella

Will never happen. Not possible. If a guy starts at 12,13 that's pushing it. There's too much to learn and the drills, sparring , repetitive nature of the sport is too much maybe 5 guys in history have become champs after starting at 20 not being a hater just the facts

>>42277746
Boxing, learning the striking is crucial in a street fight if you can punch like a pro fighter you will murder guys... but also most street fights end up on the ground so learn jujitsu too

Here the secret

Power belly look it up it fucking ridiculous

>Would I win fights like this or would I just be grappled and fucked up
Well, the thing is, in street fights in the first few seconds of the fight, landing a big hit can land you a KO. Your opponent may not see the punch or be prepared to take it and that usually ends up with him being KO'd. If you don't land a KO in those few seconds and you are fighting a bigger dude who knows how to grapple, things will get messy af. The best street fight MA would probably be muay thai desu.

And yes as a guy who's been in Tons of street fights usually if you hit the other guy and he feels you have real power , even if you don't ko him, they back off or make some excuse to stop the fight change their tune… Very few guys want to climb that mountain after they feel how hars you hit
