You favourite boxers and why?

Usyk for years

 

Jose Napoles.
Very economical in both footwork and hand speed.
Simple fluid movement, gliding in and out of range.
When the opening was created, quick, hard, punches, with unerring accuracy.
In a word, he made boxing look effortless.
stay safe.

 

Joe Calzaghe because (in that order): modesty, reticence (he wasn't a superstar), persistence, heart, title defence, undisputed, undefeted champion, score, speed,... manny reasons.
When he won everything in the SMW division, he had an adventure in the LHW where he deservedly defeted two superstars and living legend.
In a word - charizma. I don't consider him the best boxer.

 

Chris John was such a great fighter! Absolutely hall of fame worthy.

 

Sultan Ibragimov, very fast and agile for a heavyweight. Great bodywork.
Carlos Takam, has great movement and feints, nice to watch.

 

Manny Pacquiao, Golovkin, Matthysse, Regis Prograis, Joe Calzaghe, Arturo Gatti.

 

Funny how you're extremely sensitive about any word said about your beloved Amir Khan on here. He's clearly one of your faves. Yet you are too embarrassed to list him!!

 

My top Active favourite boxers are GGG, Loma, Usyk, Choclatito, Beterbiev and taylor.....And why, is because they do it properly, no cherry picking etc

 

Speaking of failures. Didn't Margarito fail to use new gauze, instead, used old gauze? How'd that turn out for him?

 

But that old gauze was deemed perfectly harmless to his opponent & just a mistake by Javier Capetillo.
Now just saying it was done deliberately please explain to me what utter good would it have been? It was
declared HARMLESS!!
Now compare To Floyd & IV gate ?? We all know what benefits are obtained by excessive saline drip treatment. In your own home without applying for a TUE don't we. Covers up the Ped;s abuse BUT
Floyd's cheating ass was covered up by the laughable " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating" BS!!!!!! Only fools believe that
Ginger Alvarez ate tainted steak at a luncheon he attended with Bill Clinton ROFL Are you REALLY that dumb

 

I always admired smokin' joe for his sheer will. A guy who had to earn every ****ing thing he earnt in his life since he was a kid without no one giving him ****, and half his pro career being blind in one eye, and with all the media bullying him for the sake of bullying him. Hard work, iron will and a left hook that can knock the **** out a horse.

I admire durán for the same reason too. I actually admire so much fighters like those ones, fighters with a will that is not common.

The most valuable attribute in a fighter is his will.

And I dont mean capacity for suffering, I mean sheer will, determination. You can have an iron will without having to show your suffering in the ring, mayweather or pacman are good examples of that, specially mayweather.

 

The rules specifically state that the only thing used for wraps are tape and gauze. The rules don't say that a very minute amount of calcium and sulfur are allowed. The rules don't state that if these substances are found to be harmless it is allowed. Your boy messed up and paid the price. As far as Canelo and Mayweather are concerned, let Margarito and Fury join that shameful club too.

 

Juan diaz- the baby bull. A dynamo of a fighter. A whirlwind and a volume puncher at the same time. A very compact (like Cotto) well conditioned punching machine. Beautiful combos, could box as well!

Nonito Donaire- has grown on me, look at dudes resume! Knocking playas out!!! Lol.

James toney- at heavyweight, nuff said.

Miguel Angel Cotto: what a warrior, kind of like a cro magnon with his big head but anyway a stylistic nightmare to EVERYONE he fought. Could hang with every fighter, every era, on or around his weight class. Just trying to come up of ways to critique him lol. Not the same old ...

 

Usyk - great movement, cool personality, proved me wrong at HW, didn't think he could beat Joshua

Crawford - best switch hitter, meanest dude in the ring and a real personality

Beterbiev - tough guy, looked vulnerable a few times and yet keeps beating them by KOs, always entertaining
