Gotta tell ya I'm sick & tired of these video fight adds covering the page when I write. I'm writing blind.
Got so fired up talking about Fullmers style I just bought a Gene Fullmer t-shirt on line. Lol sometimes insanities strong!!!!!
Excellent post! Man watch a Fullmer fight and realize the same relentless aggression and never say die attitude is Godgiven in ALL of us to defeat our illnesses, enemies, circumstances. To the last breathe brother.
He really brought it didnt he. I believe Fenech broke both his hands in that one. Fenech had the best engine I ever saw.
My 10. McCallum Duran Tiger Toney Qawi Hopkins Benitez Charles Walcott Prime Tyson As for fights, there are so many to choose from. I enjoy watching any of the above masters at work. As a kid, when I first started boxing my dad got me into the great fighters he grew watching in the 50's and 60's. Charles, Walcott and Tiger were my personal favorites from that era all for different reasons.
Fullmer was great! He always gave max effort every fight. What a great era that was with Fullmer, Tiger, Joey G, Nino etc. All of them had there own stye/strength and weakness.
