"Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries."





 not sure if this is the right thread, but I'm looking for a book or video that collects peculiar/notworthy fighting techniques from various fighters over the ages. maybe one fighter was famous for a specific defensive technique, another for the way he threw the hook... does something like that exist? I'd be curious.

Sorry man don't know any personally, but all these looked good:

Probably the least helpful: Boxing Basics: The Techniques and Knowledge Needed to Excel in the Sport of Boxing

https://www.amazon.com/Boxing-Basic...WXZ00SNXK4XV8C6

Something probably a bit closer and very specific: Power of the Pros: Striking Techniques of The Greatest, Explained

https://www.amazon.com/Power-Pros-S...1D1ACN1DVF5NGRD

The next two are more historical collections of amazing fights that will feature all the sick and noteworthy fights: Tales from the Vault: A Celebration of 100 Boxing Closet Classics & AN Illustrated History Of Boxing

https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Vault-...SEAH24VTK0JPEN2

https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-History-Boxing-Nat-Fleischer/dp/0806522011

ah thanks for that list. power of the pros looks like more or less what I'm looking for, will check that out.
