Somebody’s come in from bizarro land. Longevity and health. Here I thought it was shady fucks, smokers, organized crime and brain damage.
I am talking about top level trainers. For every top level trainer there is literally 50 shitty trainers. In my town there is like two trainers who trained in America with top defensive trainers. They learned how to train people properly. The boxers OP talks about are top level boxers. For every 1 famous boxer, there is like a 1000 boxers who fall victim to shitty coaching, criminal shady managers and of course having zero defense and slugging it out to CTE status.
So yes you are correct but the guys you mentioned are irrelevant and never gain clout. Floyds family, Tysons trainer as well as Brendan Ingle stressed defense and using footwork and head movement to either dodge punches or negate damage. Again most trainers are shitty low life piece of shits.
Guys I talk about are rare. Brendan Ingle (rip) lived in a small town in England. Yet he produced multiple world champions and they made sure to significantly limit head sparring later on.
This is how a real dignified and scientific boxing trainer teaches boxing:
