Ellis was a good right hand puncher. Charles was a solid banger ,Holyfield was a decent puncher. I've never seen a post of yours that was worth a cup of ****.Your farcical overating of Euro level boxers is a case in point and taken to absurd lengths. In short you don't know WTF you are looking at . None and I literally mean nobody is as awful and ignorant of boxing on this forum as yourself . The sad thing is ,despite being continually corrected ,and educated , you've learnt nothing since you have been here, because you lack the capacity to admit you are ever wrong. It's actually eerily spooky because you have yet to be ****ing right!
He hit Mildenberger hard enough for him to turn a backward somersault. Anyone who ko's Bonavena can hit a bit I wouldn't call him a poor puncher,certainly he hit harder than Carnera.
Ali hurt Frazier and floored Foreman who said he can still feel Ali`s right hands today! He knocked Foley and Williams out.
Holy started punching hard from the second Bowe fight because he put on the weight, he overpowered Tyson and Moorer.
Your post says more about you than I ever could! I never mentioned an English fighter,though I am English myself. Holyfield,Ellis,Charles are bums? Yeah sure. Charles was essentially finished after the two fights with Marciano, he had a further 23 fights losing13 of them,but pre-Marciano he stopped Satterfield,Reynolds,Layne,Barone,Valentino,Ray,Baksi,Harrison,Oma,and Beshore. Fighting long after he was finished and incurring losses against men he would have handled easily a few years earlier,makes his record look rather ordinary,but most of us know what a fighter he was.Not you of course ,you are as ignorant as a box of rocks! Holyfield stopped Tyson,Dokes,Thomas,Tllis,Cooper,Stewart,Botha,Douglas. He dropped Mercer,Bowe &Tyson He could hit! Keep mugging yourself,you sub normal twat!
Yeah McFarland,Ross and Langford weren't great fighters. McFarland only beat; Bronson,Moran,Gibbons,Britton,Murphy,Thompson,Cross,Yanger,Britt. Ross only beat; Petrolle,McLarnin,Garcia,Canzoneri,Manfredo,Klick,Gans,Fuller ,Pacho. Langford only beat; Flynn,Wills,Jeannette,McVey,Godfrey,Clark,Haynes,Ross,Ferguson,Holly,Jackson,Hague,O Brien,Smith,Bell ,Dixie Kid. I've just realized how your input can be put to some use,all anyone reading it has to do is take the opposite opinion as gospel. It's official , you are a MORON!
I dont think Chris Byrd is a bad of a puncher as many think. Like Fury, I believe he chose to box on the backfoot more often than not. Byrd didnt have great power but he could be sharp and accurate which can make up for the lack of pop. I remember him making Golota stumble with a single shot back in 04 and he had enough steam on his shots to back up Mcline as well
I have taken one thing away from this thread. Every lineal heavyweight champion in history, has been on the medium to high end of the power spectrum. Certainly relative to the contenders of their era. Now that is interesting, because feather fisted fighters can certainly be very effective, even at the highest level!
Parker does not hit harder than Paterson did. What fundamentals did Botha display that Langford didn`t?
