Let's talk about Anderson Silva's strange... moving guard?

IMO, its his own thing, hes reading and blocking and hand trapping as he goes, hes got good head movement, good rhythm, its his own style. Similar to how there are guys like Prince Naseem or Emanuel Augustus for example, fought their own way, their own style, that no one has been able to duplicate cause they aint them, just my thoughts.

Prince naseems style has been copiee by another fighter, i dont remember the name. But i think its more of the sport is evolving and boxers are learning to counter and cut off more movement nowadays than they did back in the early 2000's and 90's.

maybe tried to copy, but didnt do it well. I have never heard of him, there will always be people who try to copy others, many try to copy tyson, but there was only 1 tyson, just using that for a example. Prince Naseem did his own thing, it was his own style and way of fighting, he fought that way since he was a kid. Point im tryin to make is that it was HIS style, people may copy his style, but the people copying, are doing just that, copying, not fighting their own style, copying someone elses. I think what silva does is his own thing, hes not copying anyone else, rather people attempt to copy him, finding and creating your own style is a difficult thing to do, but no one can do your style better than you.

Looks like it.

There must be known, that telegraphed defense too might be used as threat and false telegraphing. If one is fast and is able to inflict threatening with such a manner, it looks not bad.

Yeah nobody knows his own style better than himself. I never watched a full boxing match but he did seem to have footwork like dominick cruz. I actually think i was referring to tenshin but idk, because i believe tenshin had that same footwork in mma and kickboxing. Im trying to remember who but i always mix up fighters.
