Old-Timer Pins Boxing Ills On Lack Of Instruction
Robert Francis Cunningham, 73, veteran judge and former bantam champion, blames boxing’s decline on the dearth of skilled teachers and improper training. He criticizes modern fighters for fundamentals, overreliance on managers, and drills with headgear that dulls head protection.
Louis Rise Said by Cunningham as Boxing Evolves
The excerpt frames Louis and several greats through Cunningham's lens and contrasts old school boxing with modern, more mercenary training. It notes Joe Louis benefited from good mentors like Sean Blackburn and Pop Fosten, while legends such as Tunney and Dempsey influenced the craft. It mentions Cunningham’s resilient bounce and learning to evade punches.
