This doesn't bother me much. Honestly I like it because it shows me that the guy is thinking about thinking, if that makes sense. In my mind the physical aspect of boxing is always only basics. The most "advanced" moves are three basic ones strung together. So l am always going to be focused there.
If the guy comes to me wanting to fight like Floyd I have context. I can improve his basics as related to that style; I can show him ways of doing those things in a sound manner. And I have a framework to build from as I teach him to think.
