Best 15 round navigator?

Archie Moore ,as he aged was pretty adept at knowing
when to coast and when to put his foot on the pedal.

 

2piece, it's funny because I was going to start a thread called 'an attrition fighter'. You called it a '15 round navigator'. The same thing because we are talking about the fighter that thrived over the 15 round distance. The kind of fighter who possibly came from behind and doled out late round stoppages or just really put the hurt on from rounds 11-15. The fighters I thought of immediately were:

Lupe Pintor
Vicente Saldivar
Alexis Arguello
Eusebio Pedroza
Matthew Saad Muhammad

 

F*cking brilliant topic.

I would add Monzon to the list.

 

Carlos Monzon
Emile Griffith
Eusebio Pedroza
Muhammad Ali
Victor Galindez
In that order too.

 

I like Moore, throw in Ali. Ali was also was a master of knowing when to cruise and when to put to put his foot on the gas during a round .

I wanted to give honorary mention to Sugar Ray Leonard for his masterful job of gamesmanship against Marvelous Hagler . . .but of course a key part of game was getting Hagler to agree to making it 12.

 

All great shouts.

 

*coughsanchezcough*

 

Dempsey?....

 

....................ehhhmmmm..............?

 

Gee...wasn't expecting to hear that from you.

Good shout, though. I think the championship rounds of a hypothetical clash btx Sanchez and Pedroza would have been epic. They both liked to accelerate in the final third of a title fight.

 

I would throw Harry Greb into the argument. He had a penchant for coming on late in these longer fights. He was excellent at pacing himself.
