I've been trying to watch more and more of the ATGs recently to learn a bit more about the sport, so I thought itd be a decent idea to make a thread for people to leave the name(or names) of the favourite fighters and, say around, 5 of their best performances/most controversial fights/ or just the best fights they were involved in. This could give a chance to those relatively new to the sport like myself somewhere to choose what fights to watch of certain fighters, and also give more knowledgable fans a chance to study those that they have not quite got around to yet. I don't think I've gotten this across as well as I could have, anybody get my drift? Cheers!
i'm no boxing expert but i do got my favourites: hagler: -sibson -hearns -briscoe -leonard -mugabi this give you the good, the great, and the bad jones jr. -toney -ruiz -reggie johnson -tarver 1 -griffin 2
I know they're a bit obvious, but I don't think you can beat the first Moore-Durelle fight for a survival clinic, and then the rematch for an I-remember-what-happened-last-time defence and punch placement. Moore-Maxim Moore-Johnson Moore-Bivins Just to round it off.
Sorry more than 5 but they are worth a watch Evander Holyfield: Dwight Qawi 1 Mike Dokes Riddick Bowe 1,2,3 Mike Tyson 1 Bert Cooper Ray Mercer Also not an ATG but fun fighter to watch Iran Barkley: Michael Olajide Tommy Hearns 1 & 2 Roberto Duran Darrin Van Horn
Curry-McCrory and Hagler-Sibson for flawless counterpunching clinics. Duran-Moore for counterpunching, rolling with punches, body punching, inside fighting and overall smothering (and ultimately extinguishing) the power of a bigger, stronger opponent. A beautiful performance.
I don't know what you're talking about. Sounds like the craziness you expect from someone who enjoys good hockey and bad football.
If you're a fighter and unless you have a very strong strength(speed,reflects etc) then I would suggest studying fighters who weren't phsyically gifted like Ezzard Charles,Archie Moore,Marvin Hagler,Gene Tunney. No point trying to copy Ali,Sugar Ray,Foreman etc because they had gifts and capitalized on them
-Joe Louis- Max Baer Tony Galento Schmelling 2 Pretty much anybody from his pre retirement bar Schmelling 1 of course Ezzard Charles vs anybody as well pretty much
