Best Offensive Boxers ever

[Flea Man]

I agree with Mante' about Moore. Weir was a massive puncher and Moore went over to South Africa and battered him.

I don't think so great call. I think most of the top tier bantams were offensive rather than defensive geniuses: Ortiz, Harda, Olivares, Zarate. Even Canizales, while not on that level, was a absolutely complete offensive machine. Who is the bantamweight Pep, Canto, Whitaker, etc.



Don't you know. Mantequilla is secretly-*is hit by poison dart* gaaahk! *falls over dead*

end u did not mean "Gaby" , did u ? Orlando was jast offensive inaf 2 give e competitive fait 2 a 35 yo Wilfredo Vazquez , after being not so offensive in de 1st 1/2 of de fait .
Some Machine hi woz .

Ortiz IDK , but Zarate end Orlando Canizales r vastly over8ed end it iz taim det sach menshens will not b made in sach treds

[LittleRed]

I guess we disagree on Zarate. I think he's a wee beastie. A patient hard hitter that was indefatigable.

Again , vs wu ? vs Zamora hi chited hevili .
U sink det holding Zamora's hed end hitting him repitedli meid no effect ?
det woz sam Frank Bruno per4mans from Zarate .
End besides of Zamora , wu else did he bit @ 118 ?
det 30 yrs old #4 Mexican 118 of de end of Castillo's era ?
Maybe he has a case 4 biting Pintor , bat probabli if i watched it i may find sasmsing der 2 .

[LittleRed]

It probably didn't hurt Zamora any more than his wild hooks to the back of Zarates head. That was not a great division but it had some decent fighters and Zarate rode roughshod over his competition.

Stanley Ketchell, Edwin Valero was pretty offensive. Rock Graziano.

Have to give a shout out to one of the truly amazing offensive fighters Wilfredo Gomez!!
Also Salvador Sanchez was brilliant, the way he would bounce in and out of punching range while unleashing hard combo was amazing to me. He is like the master to the current style that alot of Olympic boxers TRY to implement.

Hearns my favorite was one of the best guys from the outside. He used to pick guys apart with the jab and soften them up for the right. One of the all time greats. Had he been a little more patient in his career and not always go for the knockout, I think he would have been top 10 ATG.

I'm surprised he hasnt got a mention so far but Holyfield (especially in his cruiser & early HW career) deserves one.

In terms of all round offence he had the lot imo. Speed, power in both hands, fluid combinations, workrate, stamina & aggression. He may not have been truly exceptional in any one area & he wasnt greatest defensively but as an all round attacking force Holyfield was tremendous.

Felix Trinidad. A good jab, straight right hand and a brilliant left hook. Was a great finisher aswell.

Prime Tyson or block buster Marciano.
