Favourite boxers

PC_Anlyst & Programmer, where ole where did you put Kupid:think

 

both ward and gatti were c level fighters but they had some amazing wars thoe

 

Lol you're just a hater. If Pac fought them you'd be calling them ATG's atsch

Who wins: Gatti vs Rios?

 

gatti was a limited fighter c class fighter at best rios and him would be a competitive fight and have rios beating him

 

Lol you get dumber every time you post something

 

rios has a iron chin and he can crack gatti was not hall of famer like morales or bareera who were proven against the best names FACT! *****

 

Morales > Gatti
Gatti > Rios

Rios is, what do YOU call it? A caveman?

 

I like this choice. It's not as painfully obvious as a lot of what we read here, and shows a well thought-out rationale that speaks to more than the typical "'cuz he wuz good and stuff" tripe.

BTW, the movie was good, but if you haven't, read the book. One of the best boxing things you'll ever read. The movie took unfortunate license with the Max Baer character which I found troublesome. Baer was by all accounts a really nice, really funny guy who didn't want to hurt anyone and just wanted to have fun. The movie needed a villain character, I get that, but it was too "Hollywood" for me.

 

Don't forget Constable.

I didn't think it was possible to be an arum**** but this eunuch proved me wrong.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler
Joe Louis
Naseem Hamed
Mike Tyson
Manny Pacquiao

Edit - You wanted a reason, well it's hard to explain it but I simply like their fighting styles. I guess I like guys with skills and power.

Hagler - Liked the fact that he could both box and brawl. Liked his counter punching and inside fighting. Liked his working class tough guy image.

Louis - Liked his punching technique. the short, powerful shots in combination. Liked his quiet, respectful persona.

Hamed - Liked his showboating style, ability to dodge punches and counter with huge, unorthodox power punches. Liked his funny, OTT c0cky attitude.

Tyson - Liked his uber aggressive persona and fighting style. Liked the fact that even though he was short he would close the gap using his timing, footwork and upper body movement then explode with hooks and uppercuts with bad intentions.

Pacquiao - Like the way he darts in and out with hard, fast straight punches and his combination punching. Like his humble nice guy persona and willingness to challenge himself against bigger guys.
