I agree. Eventually a beginner will grow to the point that he'll need to do things in order to separate them self from the pack. Here's a quote from Jesse Rodriguez.

"That having been said, the advanced level boxer needs to differentiate himself from the rest of the experienced pack of bulls with picture perfect basics. That is when ideas from coaches such as yourself come into play. The Johnny Tapias, Naseem Hameds, and Roy Joneses of pro boxing owe a great measure of their success to very UNORTHODOX techniques and moves. At that level, one cannot afford to be predicable. These guys and their coaches can pick apart predicable fighters 8 days a week."
