    Good post RC, people talk a lot about head to head monsters on here, and for me Marciano is the ultimate example.

    Anyway in response to Addie, Roberto Duran, doesn't really need explaining too much.

    Jose Napoles for offense, i love watching him in this regard, and Olivares, the way he turns them knuckles at the optimal moment to generate power and destruction, and they're coming from all kinds of angles to head and body, ****ing nightmare. Tyson's always a good shout.

    Saldivar.

    Awesome combinations and punch picking, with an all-time great straight left and heavy debilitating power.

    Hearns, a long time favorite of mine. One of the best combination punchers i've seen, and an underrated body puncher. Though his jab and straight are often his most vaunted punches (and rightly so), I really like tommy's left hook. He had great leverage when throwing that punch. When I think of unrelenting offensive firepower, Hearns is the image that pops to my mind.

    Duran. Just a great offensive fighter to watch, be it fighting mid range or close quarters. You can admire the guy's technique and skill just watching him feint. Slight nudge of the right hand, then a left hook to the body. I've watched a lot of the guys stuff and his jab, straight, left hook and right uppercut are the punches that really impress. Watching him hook with someone like chavez would have been awesome to watch. Not to mention a slippery defensive fighter, very difficult to hit clean.

    Alexis Arguello - Threw every shot absouloutly perfect. Short, sharp combos. Buaety to watch.

    Ruben Olivares - Just that double left hook to the body is amazing but very well rounded offence and it is brillaint especially his feet.

    Jose Napoles - That smoothness in attack with those brutal hooks and uppercuts, just brilliant.

    Jung-Koo Chang - Just amazin threw everything!

    Fighting Harada - Amazing offence with fast hooks and uppercuts behind a very culuterd jab and excellant angle finding.

    Pascual Perez - Fast, awkward and hard punches in combos. Excellant changes in angles.

    Roberto Duran - His amazing combination of offence and defence as he came forward. Just amazing.

    Another is this kid i saw the other night at the amatuers his offence was brillaint just like Don Curry and the kid is like 14 it was amazing
