Charles knocked out Lloyd Marshall with a left hook to the body in 1946 :good On the notion that Charles was not a killer (hmm), you may be...
Both of those points are quite strange. On the second one, I'd like to point out that a great puncher doesn't have to play that card in every...
Think of Ray Robinson first, where he rates as a puncher and why. Then move onto Charles. What do you think?
Moore-Durelle is my favourite. Moore got smashed up big time, and it wasn't a lucky punch or well timed onslaught that brought him victory, it was...
No.
Yep. Here's another one whose chin I rate up there with the best: Jose Napoles.
Somehow we seem to completely agree then :huh:D
All I see in that (a fight I've seen many times) are shots bouncing off Hagler. Yes, Roldan lands a few, but they don't necessarily have much...
I have to ask, where? I've watched Hagler's entire filmed fight career (extensively) and there are only two moments I can think of where he was...
I'm not talking about being banged across the ring, just subtle things. Like Giardello catching Tiger with a good counter and watching his knees...
My opinion would probably be the same. Tiger had a genuine wobble every now and then. After Wigfall, Hagler wasn't wobbled for the rest of his...
Yep. Hagler could out box the brawlers, but he couldn't work it against another boxer. Not to his detriment of course, as he had another game plan.
That's why I added 'old or sick.' Or some other problem. Tiger wasn't at his best against Foster, however, nor did he have the durability of...
I don't think Hearns had a better jab. Pound-for-pound, perhaps, but not directly; Foster's was heavier, and while not as quick, cleverly placed.
Still, something to ponder :think I'm sure many of you would add weights or whatever. Might be a good exercise. I just wondered if it existed...
