Finding Jack Dempseys shoulder swirl que to be better than modern boxings foot twist que?

[Towel Snapper]

Maybe his cue for punching is just easier to learn than modern boxing's cue or maybe its a superior way to punch.

I find it odd that old school boxing mechanics are superior to modern mechanics, you would have thought things get better with time. But I am finding otherwise.

Maybe I havnt learnt the foot twist (imagine putting a ciggerette out) cue well enough and have dismissed it before I can fairly compare?

Does anyone have enough experience with both/ in general to be able to answer this question?

I think the longer you box, the more you'll find that everything about boxing has improved - technique wise, anyway. As for Dempsey, I think he developed that foot twist by ducking Harry Grebb for his entire career.
