I wouldn't really hold much stock in Ali's perception of fighters with Rocky's style. Truly I believed he saw in Rocky what he felt he perceived...
On his best night I don't know if anyone was as patient as Machen. Earnie would have a lot of trouble finding range. Machen would have no issue...
Thank you Richard. Can always rely on you to give guys like Machen respect. Machen v Liston is evident that Machen can play it safe against the...
I'm the furthest thing from an expert but it seems like in uncommon circumstance like this that the side of caution is best to be on. they should...
Thistle what sort of research did you do?
lmao. ignorant. You really think Futch didn't anticipate that being a weakness of Frazier. How about you go back and watch Ali v Frazier 1 bud....
Who would ever consider Patterson v Liston a great fight? All the fights on this list are significantly more skillful fights. Also Frazier is all...
Holy v Bowe is still the GOAT trilogy, change my mind. (I have also not seen the Holy v Bowe trilogy)
From a technical standpoint there is nothing of use to be gleamed from any of the three fights. Fury's heart was mythical but his I can't say that...
To be frank it's outside my realm of knowledge, I just know him to have been regarded very well. His wikipedia page though makes evident his...
I think Jack Blackburn dominates this criteria.
I won't argue with this at all, absolutely right that Benitez seemed to be against returning fire or at the least, didn't know when to stop moving...
oh absolutely.
Someone who comes to mind for me is Wilfredo Benitez, the radar, had his very own spider-sense, and any man that can evade SRL so consistently is...
Swag could you elaborate why? How do you rate Ingo? This was my natural reaction, Quarry is a counter-punching menace in his peak! But this is...
It's tragic how many of the best men who ever stepped in the ring had their life taken abruptly and unexpectedly during their career. Often...
@billyb71 posted Joe Louis was addicted to heroin and Liston was his dealer? Is that true? Who are some other boy scouts of boxing that suffered...
well yeah but what I was trying to say was Frazier overcame a monumental psychological task of facing Ali.
Interpret 'giants' from a physical or career perspective of a fighter. But who are smaller and or perhaps lesser men that proved to consistently...
Thank you for the info... this is a cool factoid Also what a gift to have this in such quality, and of course its Smooth Legends whose uploaded...
It's the same idea as some would argue Socrates or Shakespeare weren't real and were literary and figurative figures. This subject fascinates...
I think it's generous to put Tunney in your top 25. I like Tunney, and I am about to begin his biography, but it needs to be recognized Tunney...
k
I'm a huge Walcott fan, cannot argue he had some wicked footwork for a heavyweight! So much power too.
out of the heavyweight division, speaking of skill, and technical ability, who would you find in your top 3? I rate Patterson, Louis, and Charles...
