You Can't Touch This...

I always thought that he failed to fulfill his full potential!!

But it just goes to show that being defensively elusive alone is not enough. I think it pays homage to the fighters discussed earlier in the thread that he wasn't able to accomplish that much!!!

 

Kinda like Chinxs idea but how about you do it in sections so like

Guys who used movement for defence:

Pep, Canto, an early Whittaker

Guys who slipped shots excellantly:

Benitez, Locche, Canto

Guys fighting in the pocket:

Locche, Mayweather

Aggresive/less reknowned defences:

Monzon, Duran, Frazier, Tyson

thanks will give it a watch.

He looked good in that other video in terms of defence but his offence was crap

Great point. People say Locche was limited offensivly (which he was) just shows how great his defence was

 

Greg he was immense mate, he could box from a technical standpoint perfectly, then he could do that **** you just saw in the highlight, the clowning. And he could produce the goods against another pure boxer as well, in Montiel, who was quality then.

 

teeto ill check him out

Montiels pretty deecent but agin i havent seen alot.

 

:good

 

my spellins terrible

i havent saw much of the lower weights in the 90s-2000s if im honest.

I love defensive guys though, im sure theres someone were missing from here.




Jim Driscoll

 

knew we was missing some ali is obvious

Tyson in his younger days was a defensive wizard. His head movement was brillaint he was very very hard to hit. I have seen tapes of him training and his defence was phenomenal really great i rate him highly in defnce stakes.


Also I think we should do a ESB classic show where we all sit down and discuss the defensive fighters :rofl

 

and put it up on Youtube haha

 

Locche's title winning tko victory over Paul Fuji was as much due to fatigue and mental exhaustion from the futility of trying to land something on the brilliant Argentine as from any punches landed by Locche. I've watched the fight on video and I think the hard punching Fuji was beaten mentally.

 

would be a good show though.

didnt train today atm i only have time for tuesday and thursday but should change as i am allowed traing every day at the gym now but its half an hour away so it ll be tough but ill do it, itll cost a heap on buses.

but itll do me good.

 

definitly but Locches defence made it happen just shows how great it was.
