Best fighters who smothered power?

Lennox Lewis was preety good

 

riu mean like wah ricky did to kostya tzu

 

Lewis and Holyfield

 

Bonecrusher Smith knew how to spoil hard punchers work , by putting a cage across his face whenever they mounted any offense.. He resorted to holding a lot againsy Tyson and made it blatantly obvious that he wanted no part of Mikes onslaughts.. Holmes also had a great knack of doing similar stuff, he knew how to nullify your positive work , and also knew how to sustain attacks of his own whilst doing it...

 

Ali, especially in the Foreman fight.

 

Good call, Ali was the master, he smothered , George, Liston, Frazier, Chuvalo, Lyle, Bonavena, Quarry... He knew how to take the bullets from everones gun.. so to speak..

 

Bernard Hopkins

Winky Wright is an interesting example because of his method: rather than try to either stay out of range or get too close against big punchers, he sought to get them on the back foot where they had no leverage. I have rarely seen an elite p4p boxer look so utterly ineffectual as Tito looked against Winky. Of course, you need an outrageously good defence and chin to pull this off without being KO'd.

Please god learn to speak english. atsch

 

Hatton does a pretty good job at it right now.

 

People tend to forget Ali a bit on ESB but you guys who voted Ali are right. He went up against howitzers and came out exactly as he stated;
"I'm pretty!"
"Hold on, you're not that pretty."
"I'm a baaad man."

Was just watching the Liston fight earlier. :good

 

monzon was an expert at with this type of strategy
