What prime version of any fighter would you consider unbeatable?

Good call!:good

Ricardo Lopez is a great fighter who retired undef...

Wait?! What?! Who?!

impulsively I would say the perfect Tyson, Joe Louis or SRR and the like...

but in reality the first step (1) - before approaching any sort of GUESS would be first off questioning said fighters 'IF' by chance they ducked or were protected from any one fighter(s).

(2) - secondly you'd have to list Era's & periods in proper order to compare potential candidates, before considering who "might" be the True best among them...

and lastly, (3) - "as I've always stated" Boxing History would then have been rewritten.
So it's IMPOSSIBLE to say in absolute!!!

the Best ARE Many, and among the True Top there is little too not much between Great fighters, FACT!!!

 

Pretty much :good

The probability of flipping a head is 50/50 in theory but in practice a hundred tails in a row would eventually be flipped.

 

Definitely, as mcgrain rightly said, there are far too many variables to expect any man to go through a division's gauntlet and emerge unbeaten.

Whilst I wouldn't expect any individual smw to beat jones, the reality is that there are plenty who would.

 

How can you consider two heavyweights to be unbeatable? I don't understand.

 

Haye with ten healthy toes.

 

Ironically I think haye matches up pretty well h2h throughout history, most natural athletes do.

 

We'll see how Haye does against G$ora, before I make a true judgement on his Heavyweight H2H abilities. Although I do acknowledge, most of his Cruiser opponents would've classed as decently sized Heavyweights in the '60s & earlier.

 

Tyson '86-'89 and '91 most unbeatable fighter in history. No one is quick enough, or have enough power, and technically sound. Ali and maybe RJJ maybe come closest to Tyson-prime imo. Best combo of chin, speed, power, and boxing mastery (to compliment his natural strengths and instincts).

 

No such thing as unbeatable but the most impressive versions of one fighter in a full fight at the weights I`ve seen are....

HW - Muhammad Ali TKO3 Cleveland Williams (1966)

SMW - Roy Jones Jr W12 James Toney (1994)

MW - Sugar Ray Robinson TKO13 Jake Lamotta (1951)

WW - Sugar Ray Leonard TKO8 Roberto Duran (1980)

LW- Roberto Duran TKO12 Esteban Dejesus (1979)

FW - Salvador Sanchez TKO14 Danny Lopez (1980)

:good

 

Ali at the time of his ban.

 

Come on McGrain, you can be a **** like that about anybody when they're green & developing fight by fight.

What about Ali against Doug Jones? He was stunned several times & I didn't even think he actually won.*
