    Hey, here's a question, what boxer had the sweetest 1-2 in your opinions.

    This came to me while watching Ali-Frazier I. The way Ali threw those 1-2's...... it was like liquid. Who else?

    LOL, Hitman is a Mantis. Beautiful 1-2.

    You think Arguello's 1-2 comes close to Hearns' 1-2?

    No, probably not Nicky.
    But he's still worth a mention.

    I like Arguello's also. Something about the tall rangy fighters, their 1-2's come out too smooth.

    Louis especially, Arguello and of course, Monzon was a master of the 1-2..
