What are some of the best battles in history between two fighters with superb balance? If you had to choose fight where the two fighters had the best balance, which would it be?
My generation and not being able to see live boxing pre 1980, For me, it didn't get much better than a 100% evenly matched Rafael Marquez/Israel Vazquez for 4 fights. Balance and top technique .. they both had it
I can honestly say no ... they were all that great and evenly matched.. You couldn't go into the fight saying one was going to win over the other .. I think for the 4th fight, Vazquez was dealing with a detained retina situation as srl did and retired shortly after that .. If you haven't seen these 4 fights, they are all a MUST see
Amongst Heavyweights Oliver McCall probably had the best balance. I don't think he came close to ever losing his balance and been knocked down.
And I must say I think RM was a better boxer than his brother ..imo .. or maybe , I was just impressed with him more
Awesome, I'm going to watch all of them as soon as I get a chance. I can't find the first three full fights right now, but I watched this HL of the first fight: This content is protected Looks like a hell of a matchup. While this looks to be a great display of two fighters with good balance, do you think there are greater examples out there?
Ya you can say that, For me with Mayweather it's 1.Defense(one of the best ever but mainly with his blocking ability, then upper body movement, then footwork and balance) , 2. Speed , 3. Protecting that no loss, 4. footwork and balance ,I guess .He just doesn't impress me as he does with most. I like Judah tho
