BUILD YOUR FIGHTER

I could just do a jumble!

And I spent a good half of my lunch break addressing, or more accurately undressing, Mendoza's post. So I'm gonna sit out from now. I kicked ass anyway.

 

Robinson and LaMotta went at it 6 times even tho Jake won only once. Sometimes a dead horse needs a flogging.

 

1.=heart/chin= Sugar Ray Robinson
2.=speed= Sugar Ray Robinson
3.=power= Sugar Ray Robinson
4.=boxing IQ= Sugar Ray Robinson
5.=signature punch= Sugar Ray Robinson's looping right to the body

My fantasy fighter is a Sugar Ray Robinson clone. Sue me.

 

Favorite fighter George.......

 

This list is very close to the one.

 

heart/chin - Evander Holyfield
Speed - Micheal Dokes
Power - Pipino Cuevas
Ring IQ - Roberto Duran
Signature Punch - Joe Louis' Overhand right

 

?

 

Whitaker getting an enormous amount of mentions in IQ.

What fights did he put forth brilliant game plans that made a difference? How often did he have to vary his enormously successful natural style? What fights did he go outside of his normal game in? Was he really in the class of guys like Archie Moore and co strictly based on ring IQ?

Inquiring minds want to know. Whitaker is one of the greatest ever but i'm not totally sold on his IQ vs others. His natural talent and base style were immense.

 

Not necessarily my number one picks in each category, but just trying to be a little different to those named above:
Heart/Chin: Hagler
Speed: Pacquiao
Power: Choynski
Ring IQ: B Leonard
Signature Punch: Fitz' solar plexus

 

Some other categories to mix and match would be cool with a limit of 5 like style, defense, footwork, Stamina/work rate, etc.
heart/chin- Ali
Speed- Roy Jones
Power- Foreman
Sig punch- Louis combos
iQ- Archie Moore

 

Harada by any chance....

 

Nope! Ezzard Charles.....

 

One of the greats, good call, mine well a lesser fighter Carmen Basilio.

 

Yours too. Everyone loves Carmen!
