Smaller fighters dont know how to pressure bigger ones anymore

No head movement, afraid to press the fight, content to sit back and get picked apart.

no way to win----back peddling, covering up, retreating, defensive hand position only----long painful night of survival at best.

depressing to see.

just sit there and let the other guy TEE OFF on you---body and head, head and body, teeing off

It's hard to apply pressure unless you have some power in both hands, speed, and you don't care if your nose is split open like a melon.

Some examples if you will Brock.

Brock, Marciano didn't have great head movement;D

Wait till Rees fights Broner, he won't be the smaller man but he can pressure and can move his head.

just watched Tyson Fury and Johnson===perfect example.

as for the Rock not having good head movement---wtf? Archie Moore with 148 knockouts said he could NOT hit Marciano AT ALL with the left hook that it was virtually impossible to hit him with his cockeyed stance.

Walcott said something similar that it was a weird realization to suddenly see you could not land properly due to Marciano's weird stance.

Ali liked that slapping lead off left hook (hardly a Frazier hook) but still youd call it a left 'hook' I guess---no way was Ali going to land that on Marciano. Bad choice. Rocky could slip that like an eel and deliver a rib cruncher underneath.

Agreed

He didn't. His face was always a mess and as for Moore saying he couldn't hit him, he managed to drop him alright and Moore was just an old light heavyweight. This wasn't a young Ali fighting a journeyman on the way up, this was THE heavyweight champ...

And they seem to forget that there is a body attached to the head. I can't remember the last time I seen a decent heavyweight body puncher. Had Tua hung out with Mike McCallum he probably would have been undefeated.

Not many fighters know how to go to the body to set up punches upstairs, they're always headhunting which is annoying.

Massive generalisation which is unlike you Brock.

What is interesting is watching Tyson clones with black shorts, no socks, trying to bob and weave to copy Mike’s style. It is difficult to pull off and you need skill, punching power and good timing.

You are more Rocky than Tyson, raw, crude and very rude.

Isn’t that what Lloyd Honeyghan use to call himself?

Lloyd Honeyghan (born 22 April 1960) is a retired British boxer. Born in Jamaica, he was WBC, WBA & IBF welterweight champion from 1986 to 1987. and WBC welterweight champion from 1988 to 1989.
Honeyghan scored a major upset when he forced super-star Donald Curry to retire at the end of round six on 27 September 1986 to win the world welterweight title. Before the fight Curry dismissed his unknown foreign opponent, asking "Who is this ragamuffin?". Honeyghan adopted the title "ragamuffin" or "Ragamuffin Man" with relish.

So that is a complement.
