Brawls with the less durable softer hitting fighter prevailing?

Ali vs Foreman? Did Ali have a better chin than George? I’m not sure

 

So true. The fights w/ Turner, Mims, Fullmer, Tiger, Carter, and Rivero 2 (now on my boxing playlist btw) were all examples of this. Well, MAYBE scratch Mims who was not a big hitter, but all the others were.

 

Ricky Burns V Kevin Mitchell? Burns is tuff as they come but never a puncher while Kev had some pop.

 

This is a tough thing 2 think of, cuz if you're a light hitter, u usually can't win a fight unless u jab, clinch, and run around and those types of things. Only a select few could do that. Ali, Holmes, SRR, SRL, and even Holyfield were among the few who could actually pull this off. And I would mention that they all did it frequently.

 

So he was less durable than everyone he fought?

 

Ruddock and Morrison were both heavy hitters, but Morrison clearly had the history of being less durable.

Ivan Robinson beating Arturo Gatti

 

All of them had pretty good power though, especially the 2 Sugar Rays

 

good point, I didn't think about that Bujia

 

Well, you're right. They were all fair hitters, but compare them 2 many of their contemporaries, that's when I begin 2 view them as lighter hitters.

 

Which contemporaries of Robinson were harder hitters?

 

Well, I realize that this will be hotly contested by some, but I have always thought LaMotta and Graziano hit harder than Robinson, and Basilio and Fullmer as well. I think Robbie carried his power better w/ speed and precision, but in the film it just appears 2 me that the others carry more umph in their shots than Robbie did.

 

David Jaco vs Razor Ruddock. Why does no one talk about this fight?

 

Timothy Bradley vs Ruslan Provodnikov

 

3 of the best brawlers in history were ...Dick Tiger ...Kif Gavilan...and Benny Paret ...none of whom were big punchers .....it seems like it’s better to be durable with fast hands
