Teddy Atlas: Floyd didn't carry Conor

crodor3 said:
yep. you obviously don't realize that. The difference between all time great and an amateur is so great that one would strongly discourage the amateur to set foot near a pro for fear that they would get themselves hurt or killed. Yet in this case the levels don't really exist because it's someone you look up to? weird man..

he wasn't 90 years old ..Floys reflexes in a boxing ring will always be light years ahead of Connor...I have seen 70 year old retired boxers that an amateur would get killed by...

Brother

It has nothing to do with boxing.

Reflexes are reflexes. When you get older they get slower. Simple biology.

Floyd is known for his phenomenal reflexes and countering prowess.

So is Conor. Difference being, he's in his prime.

Floyd being a 40 year old man, being out of the game for 2 years, it was the first time in a long time I can recall his opponent having that edge.

Levels to analysis

Doesnt seem like you're much interested in going past the surface of anything.

Much as you seem to speak of boxing as if you're a student of the game or something.

That was the first time I can recall where he didnt hold that edge.

reflexes are certainly not just reflexes. Floyds reflexes in a BOXING ring are almost second to none historically. He will have better boxing reflexes when he is 60 than Connor would have at 25.

I have boxed for years, have been watching since the 80's. I actually would consider myself a student of the game a bit. Not like your analysis of course but there are levels..

If you think that of me, then it says everything about how short sighted and small minded you are. But we both already knew that, didn't we.

I care about the integrity of truth more than any one man. I couldnt give a fuck about Conor. He just happens to attract a lot of unthinking stupidity and delusion and I will never not call these types out. Regardless of the topic.


I'm not sure if you realize this but when you're older, your reflexes get slower. There will be a marked difference in comparison to an athlete in their prime.

This is regardless of sport.

Floyd has always had this edge over his opponents. His reflexes and countering prowess have always been phenomenal. Among the best in boxing history. However, he's 40. Doesnt matter how long he's been boxing, they still fade.

Not suggesting that I care about it more than anyone.

That would be a ridiculously stupid claim.. lol

But I meant I care about the integrity of truth more than allowing myself to get too attached to one person or topic.

Should have worded it better.

The integrity of truth? Its a fucking shergoof forum pal not a Teddy Roosevelt fireside chat....

80% of fans believe the pile of shit you just wrote

Just so happens that the 20% who were impressed with his performance is full of pro fighters, boxers, boxing legends, trainers, analysts. Teddy Atlas being one of many.

But yeah. Obviously the greatest minds in the sport don't know shit about boxing.

Instead some hate fueled fan with massive confirmation bias, who says the exact same hive mind shit that everyone else does with zero independent thought of his own, knows better.

you are not understanding. If I played Michael Jordan in a game of one on one when he is 60 years old and I am 40 he will still fuck me up. His BASKETBALL reflexes will always be better than mine regardless of the age gap. This is pretty evident but you will still argue won't you? You seem like the type of lad who almost never learns anything from another person. that's called arrogance...

I learn from everyone

Youve just said stuff that pretty much everyone else says so far.. lol

Ok sure, Floyd's boxing reflexes will be up there at the absolute elite levels.

I was talking about reflexes in general. Physiology. The kind of shit you lose with age.

Conor has exceptional skills, but it's the cardio that regularly fails him.

I don't think Floyd being 40 is the number here, but Conor being 0-0 in a boxing ring. The difference in experience matters more than difference in age.
