I agree with all that, he definitely didnt have slow hands and had a great right hand but he was no Tyson in the footwork department and lacked...
Yeah I dont really know much about the old timers, I had thought Dempsey was pretty much prime vs Tunney tbh
Witherspoon was too slow to beat Vitali, he wasnt slow by any means, just not fast enough
Great matchup, think Id go with Johnson late or on pts as he was a bit bigger and heavier handed than Tunney and pretty slick on the not getting...
Too small, gets pummelled, good boxer though
Their chins are both good, Tua's maybe slightly better but no biggie. Tyson has more shots but crucially, Tua's stamina in his prime was WAY...
Comfortable wins for Jones, UD vs Eubank, TKO vs Benn, only one around then (well a bit later) that would have give him a fight would be Calzaghe.
Lol, Tua is hard to hit in close, at brawling range hes actually one of the harder guys to hit clean
Tough to pick, maybe Ali if I had to choose
Tough pick because they both have a similar relative absence of great wins, Jones was the better talent possibly but Chavez has the win over...
Tyson the better fighter against most opponents but once Tua got through losing the first 3 rounds he would take Tyson out late or maybe a tossup...
Probably top-10 for heavyweights, totally one-handed though which was a pity given his reach, no proper jab
I wouldnt regard Frazier slow-paced, exactly the opposite, he had very good one-punch power but I dont think he was as devastating with a single...
Agree that Cooney is an omission, from what Ive seen on youtube he was absolutely devastating and I think Foreman rated him the hardest puncher...
Yeah I figure he just took the cold practical route of not wanting to permanently damage his shoulder, just like any other athlete does the same....
