Boxers who 'switched' their feet with regularity?

[Andre]

At least for myself, and I can't speak on behalf of anyone else, but it's only a shift in perception that changes when I switch. I think people focus too much on dominant this or that. If you are trying to establish a certain sense of self on your opponent that can be done regardless of which side is forward. Boxing due to tradition limits it's in stances largely to either southpaw or orthodox to their own short coming. Heaven knows why boxers don't use the vastly more versatile and fluid footwork in Chinese martial arts. You also generate more power and you don't have to hop.

Wow that is some brave words on a boxing forum, or were you being sarcastic?
Either way .

I think the boxer can get away with not sitting on a punch more when fighting on the outside so he can get away with dancing on his toes more, plus he isnt going to get his feet swept out either by hopping as you say.

There are probably justifiable benifits in both ways depending on whats going on: either the inner brawl telephone box style of boxing probably could use some of the Chinese footwork and still get to deliver power twisting in boxing style.

Then theres dancing and remaining on the toes when the fight is fresh or at the bantamand feather end of the weights and at that outer distance of contact you need it too.

As you say, be nice to see someone really know exactly when to apply the two and shape it into a style.

Thats deep water mate.
Too many of them secretly and sometimes not so secretly hate each others styles and claim dominance over each other, its hard to find men in martial arts these days who have the old way of respect for all things and all things have their place.

as already said herol graham did it but it was usually just a quick switch to gain a quick opening then he would switch back.eubank used to do a little walcott walk change of direction which caused him to switch very briefly.there was a american middleweight in the 80's called don lee who was a switcher hitter, he got a win over tony sibson and was a fringe contender for a while and of course hagler could fight as a lefty or righty

Livingston Bramble did it I believe.

Fuck it, I can't spread my attention that thinly anyway....

I did find some interesting stuff on 'Uprooting Footwork', basically destroying your opponents balance... Would be very interested in finding out how balance can be messed with in Boxing.

But I think I'll leave Kung-Fu thing in China for now.

Livingston Bramble it is

Master cc indeed ! Bramble was a very underrated inside fighter, squared in spots but cagey as all hell.

Might be an off example as it was more hyper activity then punch placement but what about Vinny Pazienza. Always shifting, circling and pretty sporadic. Led with his body alot and loaded up in later years but feet were on the move constant.

Shit. Johnny Tapia!! Game, set, match. Azumah Nelson.

Naz sold out for his delivery really...had two left feet when it came time to receive.
