@@sparkspark2314 the day before fight weigh in changed boxing. And not for the better. Roy Jones used it better than anyone. He never went into a MW fight at less than 175/180. Remember HBO gave him a free ride. Pick your opponents. And he always refused the request to be weighed before the fight. His opponents often did. The day before was a big advantage for the normally bigger guy. When Roy fought in the proper division LHW, he got cold cocked by two good but not great fighters in Johnson and Tarver. Also look at size of the gloves in this film. Much smaller, probably 6 or 8 oz. The bigger gloves just allow the fighter to take more punishment. My late friend a contender in his weight class, 76 professional fights, told me while the bigger gloves were used allegedly to protect fighters the unintended consequences are they are worse.

It’s easy to understand why it was difficult for George to get fights. Like Charlie Burley years before him, he slick and tricky. He’s a great defensive fighter who hits hard. I spoke with him many times when he was with Lou Duva. He was a quiet man. Very well spoken. I felt terrible when he suffered from dementia the last years of his life.

Boxers from yesteryears (especially 40's to 60's) are really much better in terms of skills than boxers of today's. Most world champions today are not even half as good as those contenders before. Benton and Carter both failed to win a title but don't be fooled, THEIR skills are on far with the All Time Greats. That's how good boxers from yesteryears.

The Men Of That Period (My Dad) Were Different Physically (Lighter/Stronger Pound 4 Pound), More Aggressive, Mentally Tougher. The Aforementioned Attributes Along With Trainers That Had 60 Plus Years In Some Cases Of Experience Is Why Every Fight Was Of A Higher Caliber. Inside Fighting, Slipping, Parrying, Hooking Off Of The Jab, Balance, Ferocity...THOSE DUDES WERE KILLERS 👌🏿.

I think the main difference is the expansion of other amateur sports. Boxing is a TOUGH way to make a living, but in the 30s-60s, it was immensely popular and lots of spectacular US athletes went into boxing. As basketball and football have expanded in popularity and provided increasingly amounts of popularity, college scholarships and professional opportunities, boxing has declined in this country. Today, the many of best American athletes dream of excelling in other sports,.our amateur programs have declined, and more great boxers come from other countries

@@latymzexcept they have more all time greats from the 1900s-1980s than they do today and it’s not because there was more time. It’s because all the athletes had fewer profitable sports to play. NFL and NBA money didn’t become crazy until the 80s and 90s.

Judges outside both scored for Hurricane based on his aggression, but Mercante, who was actually closest to the action, scored for Benton, who was cracking Carter with short shots inside.

@scottodonnell7121 Жыл бұрын

That's where you guys are mistaken. He was never acquitted for those murders. In fact, the evidence was quite strong against him. He was convicted twice, then on appeal a judge found some impropriety and left it up to the state for a third trial. They decided that after such a long time witnesses were would few and far and their memories weren't as good. So, they decided it wasn't worth it and he was let go. Don't believe that garbage movie.

Philly besides paterson had great fighter's gorge benton was a great defense of fighter look at Pernell Whitaker defensive style a lot of it came from George Benton

@raulratonmacias1377 Жыл бұрын

Not really. Benton popularized the Michigan/Philly shell defense but he is NOT the creator of it. The style/techniques already exists as early as 40's in Philadelphia. The style was created to compensated the lack of stamina training that most Philadelphian amateur (and some professional) boxers problem during that time. Most of them drive cabs so they have little time to do some road works. They created this technique to conserve energy. But in reality, Philly shell are more like an evolved form of the shoulder roll defense which already exists much, much earlier. There are counts that the great master Joe Gabs uses shoulder roll. Sugar Ray Robinson also is a master of Philly shell defense and the one who actually taught James Toney of this defense.
