Old School Boxing skills: The lost art of baiting head-movement in depth description

[Kid Cauliflower]

I don't ever remember even arguing with Cauliflower it seems he just came out of the woodwork and started attacking my posts. Now he's got a friend in BKM. I don't go around name calling.

You drew my ire by stating offhandedly what I would or would not be interested in. If I am writing in a thread about it, I must be must be interested in the subject on some level. What interests me is not for you to say, or to dismiss me with the equivalent of, "You could never understand or, you would not be interested."

Got no big kick against you, just don't say what will or will not interest me, as if you are an expert on me.

I grew up watching tapes of the greats with my dad—fighters who were masters of the dance, dodging punches like they were part of a choreographed ballet. It's a real art form, and your post captures the essence of what made those fights so mesmerizing. I wonder, do you think it's the shift in training focus, or maybe the audience's craving for quick knockouts that's led to this decline? It's a topic that deserves more attention, and your post is a great catalyst for that discussion. Thanks for keeping the conversation alive and reminding us of the rich nuances of boxing history!

They really were, and in my opinion it stems from outside factors from everyday life. You had less distractions, a built in harder work ethic and what you get out of the cream of the crop is that group of fighters. Minds with less distraction and less time to sit around and think. You had to do things that worked. There was less media, less money made outside of the actual fight.

A lot more focus was on the ring and the capability of the fighter.
