Highlights of one of my favorite boxers of all time. Watch for the famous double punch at 1:43, unbelievable.

the sense of timing some of these boxers have in dodging and punching back... mindbogling. theres also a thai kick boxer that has amazing dodging skills equally good to the greatest boxers... cant spell his name

After years of training, i'm more surprised that there are boxers out there who DON'T have the twitch reaction that boxers like this guy have. Most of the dodging isn't a case of knowing *exactly* where a punch is going to go, more a case of experience at knowing which posture/initial movement usually precedes which punch. Hence why you see boxers twitching in one direction to set up a different direction, shimmies, stance changes, etc.

I'm a fan of this sort of thing. "It shows disrespect" - but if the opponent isn't as bad as the showboater thinks, why isn't the showboater put squarely on his ass? I think it's great, but who the hell were this guy's opponents? Looked awful!

Actually, he fought many top level fighters over the years, including world champions like Floyd Mayweather. Check out his fight with Mickey Ward in 2001 (you can find all 6 parts on Youtube)-- it was fight of the year. Both fighters landed over 300 punches!!!
