Examples of ring generalship?

Almost anything with Muhammad Ali.

 

Go watch almost every Roy jones fight until he moved back down to Light Heavy.

Jones vs Woods etc

 

Exactly, along with RJJ and B-Hop fights :yep

 

Julio Cesar Chavez as a different kind of example.

 

i agree, ali was possibly the best ring general in the heavyweight division

a little known fight but shows the postive effects of a fighter with less talent but with good ring generalship forcing his opponent to fight his fight which was being bullied on the ropes and getting hit by clubbing shots is phillip holiday vs ivan robinson. robinson the much better polished and imo gifted of the two but holiday employed his fight by dictating the ring.

johnny tapia- nana kanadu was another good example of a thunderous puncher being utterly confused by a very slick boxer in tapia, who used ring generalship to confine kanadu to the middle of the ring for the entire fight.

hopkins - trinidad was another great example, that ring was one of hopkins many advantages that night, trinidad dident look like he was persueing hopkins, he looked like he was following him.

 

The commentator on the night said something very poignant; he called it "the best one-sided fight you are ever likely to see". Tito seemingly had the advantage in the vast majority of areas, but it was Hopkins ringcraft that saw him through. Bernard is the archetypal Ring General.

 

Any fight with Roy Jones in his prime is always a showcase on ring generalship.

 

Great avatar. :good

Quicksilver is going to the Hall of Fame.

 

Definition: The ability of a boxer to dictate the pace, style and tactics of a bout vis-a-vis his opponent.

 

Arguello/Mancinni: Years after the fight Mancinni said that even when he was doing well, and winning rounds, he felt like he was being studied and set up for something later!

 

pacman - diaz!!!

 

Perfect example.:good

 

Monzon epitomises ring generalship. Watch any of his fights.

 

all hearns fights. and since a good footwork is not just about dictating the pace and complexion from the outside, i would say joe louis regarding his ability to cut off the ring to corner his man

 

i have to say Marvin hagler,in almost all he´s fights,imo.
