British Boxing Greats

Wlad, Povetkin, Whyte, Parker, Ruiz and Pulev all quality and noteworthy opponents.

 

Apart from Old Wlad - it is a list of prize puddings.

 

Its called doing your research

 

Agree to disagree. I would onside all mentioned to be a better quality of opponent and have better records than Wilder.

 

A pudding is a pudding mate - it does not matter if some are better packaged.

 

It's second hand going off people's opinions without seeing for yourself. So some people maybe happy to do that but im not as people have habit romatiscising about fighters of old.

For example Maricano and Louis, you only have to to see footage of them to see the huge improvement of quality in the HWs from Patterson onwards in comparison to slow stiff Louis and Marciano.

 

But we are ranking these fighters on their greatness not head to head

No one gave Danny a chance in the Tyson fight. Tyson was 1/50. It was an awesome win for Danny and one of boxing’s biggest upsets at the time. Danny was a good fighter.

 

Totally agree, Tszyu was an awesome fighter, and at the time of the Hatton fight, there weren’t many picking Ricky to win. I certainly didn’t think he could beat Tszyu.

 

Yeah people just say that because either they are guessing or are just trying to belittle Hatton's achievements.

 

well this Film Footage here is pretty damn normal looking and I'll let you in on a little secret, these men done it every other week, monthly or about 5-6 weekly, times 15 - 20 years, in 100 - 200 Fight Careers... tell you another secret, there is other PROPER Footage out there of this same fella Archie Moore in Australia from 1938.

When the Film is Right, the Boxers are Right.

sadly though, most of the Old Footage isn't 'Right', but that changes NOTHING about the Skill, Greatness and Ability of these Old Fighters... and there is More than Enough Proper Footage Out there, like the above footage to substantiate that, and again, they did it every other week.

don't judge old fighters on POOR, Poor Film Footage, that is not the truth, and the Contrary to that Truth is clearly seen from the above footage...
