True or false most pro boxers dont pivot the foot they push off it?

The head coach who is an old old man of Irish origin says that style of fighting is very old and is not used anymore and he gave this reason why for his beef with scraps teaching is that when you push off the left quadricep with the right hamstring pulling this enables for full maximum delivery.The other issue he has is that if scraps power is coming off the back leg (falling) then you'll be off balance if that left hook misses the target, or if scrap is coming up on the balls of his feet off the uppercut then this will leave you ungrounded and open should you miss.it's hard to know if I'm understanding scrap correctly but I probably not.

On the contrary if you're leaning forward and throwing a left hook then when you miss you're gonna be wide open, if you're coming onto your back leg you'll be perfectly balanced even if you miss, and ready to throw your next shot. Coming up on the balls of the feet doesn't mean you aren't grounded, as long as you're knees and hips are engaged.

JMS has said it all, think you are misunderstanding me

Well I think that if I can pick the back leg up then I'm not grounded! Worse is that with that style of punching your off the centre literally falling the hips are coming up.you will get it hit off the counter and lose balance and actually the punches are slower because you got a longer-range to throw.

Maybe I lost myself lol. Okay if you're throwing an uppercut lifting both heels coming onto the ball of your front foot then that means.I should be able to lift my back leg up why because I'm on the ball of my front foot right?

You should probably specify which uppercut.

But we are not trying to put the head forward, that wont generate power or purpose of what we are aiming for.

If thats the intention I suppose you can, but if the Heads telling you not to you cant. Body transports the head to where it wants to go,it cannot protect itself.

Ok at this point it's clear you're completely misunderstanding what's being said to you. Some of the conclusions you're drawing just plain don't make sense. Fighting off the front foot feels more natural, it's what beginners are inclined to do. And it's possible to be very successful that way, but the ideal way is to be able to fight off both feet, shifting back and forth constantly as your weight moves and your head moves. Punching using both legs is not slower, it's better balanced. What champs fight only on the front foot? The best might prefer weight forward or back, but almost all the champs can shift to either effectively.
